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 Fresno?
Yes, on any vehicle you own or lease, or with the registered owner's consent. Fresno follows California law, and using a tracker to follow a person without that consent is a misdemeanor under Penal Code 637.7.
Does it work on farm roads outside Fresno?
Yes, wherever there's cell coverage. In spots with no signal, the map shows the last location until the tracker reconnects.
Does Tule fog affect the tracker?
No. Fog doesn't block GPS, so you can still see the car live on the map.
