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 Denver?
Yes, on vehicles you own, and best with the driver's consent. Denver follows Colorado law: a person tracked without consent can sue under C.R.S. 13-20-1301, and repeated tracking to follow someone can be charged as stalking under C.R.S. 18-3-602.
Can I check my car at DEN while I travel?
Yes. Open the app from your gate to see the car live, and set a geofence around the parking lot so you get an alert if it leaves. DEN reported 94 auto thefts in 2025, down from 713 in 2023.
Can I track my car at a Broncos or Rockies game?
Yes. Turn on Car Alarm when you park near Empower Field or Coors Field, and you'll get an alert if the car moves. Thick concrete garages 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 Denver?
Call Denver 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?
Bulk orders of 4 or more go through our team. Contact us and we'll set up the account and the 4+ rate.
