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 Tucson?
Yes, on any vehicle you own or co-own, or with the owner's consent. Tucson follows Arizona law, which has no standalone tracker statute, but using a GPS device to follow someone without authorization can be charged as stalking under A.R.S. 13-2923, a felony.
Can I check my car at Tucson International Airport 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. AATA data showed a theft hot spot just north of the airport in 2025.
Can I keep an eye on my car during the Gem Show?
Yes. Turn on Car Alarm when you park, 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 Tucson?
Call Tucson 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.
