Seems interesting and for $10 it seems cheap enough to play around with on the weekend.
Surprisingly at this price point there’s even an app to follow it around.
Gave it a punt

            @asa79: cant you just hide it under the car or deep in the engine block ?

            You only need it to run between the car goes missing and when you notice it.

            I would semi weld it into part of the frame.

              deep in the engine block

              Yikes - wouldn't want to find one there! Don't want the engine to blow up now do we? Nor would the airtag work (neither would under the car work that well, remember it's got to be picked up by passing iPhones).

              Looks like you're after a more serious setup so I'd check out a hardwired tracker. You won't have to recharge it.

            • WesthamAreMassive on 22/08/2023 - 00:22

            @asa79: Yes they will. With iPhones and android phones now.
            And that's not necessarily a bad thing. If the tag is hidden they will have a half assed look for it and ditch the car for fear of being tracked and found.

          I agree the monthly subscription cost should be in the listing here otherwise $9.99 one time cost is a half truth hence a partial lie honestly.

          On another note Air tags are not only expensive but, require an apple account too, ( I really do not want to make an apple account) But given how many apple users there are around world, very safe to assume air tag tracking is going to be reliable

          Even cheaper with Tile, different types, eg. small sticker to hide or wallet card.
          The thieves can detect the AirTags, find them & disable them easier.

          • jv on 22/08/2023 - 01:07

            @taki:

            Even cheaper with Tile

            Except significantly less chance of getting it detected because of much smaller user base.

      You can swap the sim card (it’s under a sticker) but I’ve had no luck overriding the URL to point to a different GPS service.

        • internet-stranger on 22/08/2023 - 07:29

          Yes. The FACTORYALL# command has been removed/disabled in the firmware

          • Waynes world on 24/08/2023 - 22:48

            @internet-stranger: How do we reset to allow use of our own sim without this command?

            • internet-stranger on 25/08/2023 - 08:47

              @Waynes world: You can’t. You can swap the SIM and use the SMS commands. But you are unable to use a different tracking server.

            • internet-stranger on 25/08/2023 - 13:39

              @Celebraces: Where did you find that command?
              Also the APN change is fine. It’s the Server URL I am unable to change.

              SERVER,0,1.1.1.1,5023,0#
              Returns:
              ERROR:The domain name or IP is locked, not allowed to modify

          • SingMeASong on 27/08/2023 - 12:29

            @internet-stranger: I managed to get this to work with a self hosted traccar setup

            the FACTORYALL# command didnt apppear to work, but a FACTORY# SMS command did.

            Then i was able to set the APN with a spare vodafone SIM i had
            APN,live.vodafone.com#

            set timezone
            GMT,e,10,0#

            set server
            SERVER,1,traccarurl,5023,0#

            You can also use the following SMS for diagnosis to help identify things. Only send one sms command at a time, multiple line sms dont work
            STATUS#
            PARAM#
            GPRSSET#

            HBT,1,1# will set the device to send its location every 1 minute. This can be customised, eg. HBT,5,5# is for every 5 minutes

            WHERE# will send back an SMS with the GPS location data
            URL# will send back an sms with the google maps url of the location

            RESET# will reboot the device

            VERSION# will send back the firmware version on the device.
            Mine had Version: S20_4G_LA_V01_Oct 22 2022_13:49:35

            I will continue to test this over the next week or so sending data to my traccar instance every minute. But so far (the past hour) it's been great.

            I will be buying a few more of these i think, hopefully they are as easy to change. Otherwise i might have to crack it open and see if i can attach a jtag and either rip the firmware of write another one to it.

              @SingMeASong: Interesting. The FACTORY# command fails for me as well.

              @celebraces found the key to unlock the device a different way. I’m just about to publish all the info on GitHub. I’ll link shortly. But it has all the drivers, SMS commands etc… I’ve managed to find.

              Edit: sorry, to be clear the FACTORY# command clears all settings except the server for me. And the server command remains locked.

                Did you turn the tracker on with the original SIM card in it?

                I removed the SIM as soon as i got the device and before i turned it on. Thinking it might auto activate or phone home.

                  @SingMeASong: I removed the SIM before powering on, and popped it in a phone. That was the key to getting the unlock code. Having worked with M2M sims before, I suspect they get a notification from the carrier that a SIM has been registered in the network, which triggers some SMS commands to set the APN and enable GPRS mode.

      • SlifSlif on 22/08/2023 - 03:41

            @billadm: Im thinking you wont need to pay a monthly plan. Sounds like you would only need to have sms which could use prepaid credit.
            You send the device sim an sms message with the details above, it messages you back via sms with co-ordinates. Very basic funcitonality without the actual plan but I guess it could still be useful for some. Im grabbing a couple to test. May not even need data on the sim unless it somehow makes the gps more accurate but I wouldnt think so.

      it doesnt work because to get the full feature of online tracking, you need to use their sim which you need to pay subscription for.

      But if you are just happy with text responses from the device using SMS, then any sim will work. I can confirm this
