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 Miami?
Yes, on vehicles you own, or with consent. Miami follows Florida law, and placing or using a tracker on someone else's vehicle, property or phone without consent is a third degree felony under Fla. Stat. 934.425.
Can I check my car at MIA or the cruise port while I travel?
Yes. Open the app from your gate or your cabin when you have signal, and set a geofence around the lot so you get an alert if the car leaves.
Does it work in Brickell and downtown parking garages?
Usually. Thick concrete decks can weaken GPS and cell signal, so the map may show the last location until the car is back on the street.
What should I do if my car is stolen in Miami?
Call Miami 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.
