FAQ
Common questions
Is it hard to set up?
No. ShadowAuto plugs into the OBD-II port under your dash in under 2 minutes, with no tools or wiring. ShadowTrack sits in a magnetic case.
Is there a monthly fee?
Yes. Live tracking uses a cell connection, so plans run $10 to $15 per tracker per month. No contract. Cancel any time.
Does it need a SIM card?
No. The connection is built in and covered by your plan.
Is GPS tracking legal in Atlanta?
Yes, on vehicles you own or co-own, or with the owner's consent. Atlanta follows Georgia law: secretly tracking the vehicle of someone with a protective order against you is a felony under O.C.G.A. 16-11-62, and tracking to harass can be stalking under 16-5-90.
Can I check my car at Hartsfield-Jackson while I travel?
Yes. Open the app from your gate to see the car live, and set a geofence around the deck or lot so you get an alert if it leaves. Atlanta police counted about 335 cars stolen at the airport in 2024.
Does it work at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and downtown garages?
Usually. Thick concrete decks can weaken GPS and cell signal, so the map may show the last location until the car is back in the open.
What should I do if my car is stolen in Atlanta?
Call Atlanta police first and give them the live location from the app. Don't try to recover the car yourself.
How fast does it update?
Every 5 seconds while your car or truck is moving.
How do I order 4 or more trackers?
