You need a hardwired GPS tracker if your organization requires around-the-clock vehicle tracking without relying on rechargeable batteries or drawing power from a portable battery pack. A hardwired GPS tracker is a permanently installed 3-wire device with ground, constant 12V/24V power, and ignition connections that operates directly from the vehicle’s electrical system.
Installed behind the dashboard or within the vehicle’s wiring harness, it remains concealed for added security and tamper resistance. Since a hardwired GPS tracker connects directly to the vehicle’s power source, it delivers continuous, reliable tracking whenever the vehicle is in operation and can support additional monitoring features tied to the ignition system. It is compatible with virtually any 12V or 24V vehicle, including passenger cars, pickup trucks, vans, commercial trucks, buses, and heavy equipment.
Hardwired GPS trackers are hidden, more difficult to remove, and work on vehicles without an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port. Plug-in OBD trackers install in minutes, are easy to move between vehicles, and are ideal when portability is the priority. However, since OBD devices are visible and easily unplugged, they may not be the best choice for organizations concerned with theft prevention, unauthorized removal, or long-term fleet deployments. A hardwired solution provides a more permanent installation that helps ensure uninterrupted tracking and dependable data collection.
Organizations in industries such as construction, transportation, delivery, utilities, landscaping, field services, and municipal operations often choose hardwired GPS trackers as they depend on reliable vehicle visibility throughout the workday. These businesses benefit from knowing where vehicles are located, verifying job completion, improving dispatch efficiency, reducing unauthorized vehicle use, and enhancing driver accountability. Hardwired devices also support fleet managers who need accurate trip history, idle time reporting, geofencing, maintenance reminders, and other telematics data to improve operational performance.
The Coyote RT Hardwired GPS Tracker is designed for commercial fleets of approximately 5–40 vehicles, providing premium fleet management capabilities. It is best suited for companies that require a covert, tamper-resistant installation for theft deterrence and asset protection. Fleet operators that want a premium GPS tracking feature set with advanced reporting and fleet management capabilities will benefit from the Coyote RT. Owner-operators and businesses that prefer a simple 3-wire self-installation, with professional installation available if desired, will appreciate the Coyote RT.
By combining dependable hardware with advanced fleet management software, the Coyote RT helps businesses improve productivity, protect valuable assets, and gain the operational visibility needed to make better business decisions every day.
A hardwired GPS tracker connects directly to a vehicle’s electrical system, allowing it to receive continuous power without depending on a removable battery or an OBD connection. Once installed, the device uses GPS technology to determine the vehicle’s location and cellular connectivity to transmit tracking information to the fleet management platform.
Fleet managers can then access information such as vehicle location, speed, ignition status, idle activity, and trip history from a computer or mobile device. This creates a centralized view of fleet activity that can support dispatching, vehicle utilization, and day-to-day operational decisions.
Temporary gaps in cellular coverage do not necessarily mean lost tracking information. The Coyote RT can store up to 2,000 location messages when cellular connectivity is unavailable and automatically transmit the stored information after connectivity is restored.
Both hardwired and plug-in GPS trackers provide vehicle location data, but their installation and intended applications differ. A plug-in tracker connects to an available vehicle port and can typically be installed or transferred between vehicles quickly. This can make plug-in devices useful for fleets that prioritize flexibility and portability.
A hardwired GPS tracker is connected directly to the vehicle’s electrical system and can be concealed behind the dashboard or within the wiring. Because the device is less visible and more difficult to disconnect, hardwired tracking may be better suited to long-term fleet deployments, vehicles without an OBD port, and organizations concerned about unauthorized device removal.
Fleet managers should consider vehicle types, installation requirements, security needs, and how frequently devices may need to move between vehicles when choosing between the two options.

Hardwired GPS tracking turns vehicle location and activity data into information fleet managers can use throughout the workday. Real-time location visibility can support dispatch decisions by helping managers determine which vehicles are available and where they are located. Trip histories can also provide a record of routes, stops, and vehicle activity when reviewing completed work.
Additional information such as idle time, driver behavior, geofencing activity, and vehicle usage can help managers identify operational trends across the fleet. Maintenance tracking adds another practical benefit by allowing organizations to monitor engine hours, schedule preventive service, and receive maintenance reminders.
For businesses operating multiple trucks, vans, or other commercial vehicles, bringing this information together in one fleet management platform provides greater visibility into how vehicles are being used and where operational adjustments may be appropriate.

Yes. A hardwired tracker can be removed, but its concealed three-wire installation makes it less accessible than a device plugged directly into an OBD port. This can be useful for fleets looking for a more permanent tracking installation.
The Coyote RT uses constant power and switched ignition connections, allowing the system to identify vehicle ignition status. Its internal backup battery can also continue powering the tracker for a limited period if vehicle power is disconnected.
The Coyote RT can continue recording GPS information during temporary cellular outages. It stores up to 2,000 messages and automatically uploads the information once cellular connectivity becomes available again.
The Coyote RT operates from 6–32 Vdc and can be used with virtually any 12V or 24V vehicle, including cars, pickup trucks, vans, commercial trucks, buses, and heavy equipment.
You guys have been Great to work with! Answered all my questions and pricing is excellent. The complete opposite of Verizon Connect : high priced, sneaky about contracts (auto renew) and NO customer support. I’ll be much happier when I get to move my whole fleet over.
