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 Omaha?
Yes, on vehicles you own or lease, with some conditions. Omaha follows Nebraska law, and under LB 935 (2026), putting a tracker on someone else's property without consent is a Class IIIA felony.
Can I check my car at Eppley Airfield 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.
Does it work in Old Market parking garages?
Usually. Concrete garages 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 Omaha?
Call Omaha police first and give them the live location from the app. Don't try to recover the car yourself.
How fast does it update?
