03 · Hidden backup

Add a hidden line of defence.

If a thief finds and disables your primary tracker, the asset tracker keeps reporting from somewhere they didn't look. Magnetic, battery-powered, no wiring — it can be hidden anywhere ferrous on the vehicle and leaves no install giveaways for tampering.

  • Sealed unit, no wiring — none of the install signatures a thief looks for after disabling a primary tracker
  • Magnetic mount sits anywhere ferrous — wheel arch, chassis rail, behind a bumper, inside a panel
  • Up to 3-year battery life on a replaceable lithium cell — fit it and forget it
  • 4G LTE — sends a single location ping to the platform per day
  • Designed as a backup, not a replacement — pair it with any hardwired primary tracker

Heads-up: daily ping only. This isn't live tracking — it's a recovery aid. For continuous tracking, use the 4G900L, FMC920, FMC880, or FMB140 as your primary unit.

04 · Side by side

All five devices, side by side.

Same platform, same features. The differences are in the hardware itself — installation, weatherproofing, and the kind of data each unit reads.

05 · OBD or hardwired

OBD or hardwired — which is right for you?

For most buyers it's a 60-second decision. If you need stolen-vehicle recovery or a permanent fit, go hardwired. If you want plug-it-in-and-go for one vehicle, OBD is faster. New to fitting one? See our step-by-step guide on how to install a GPS tracker yourself.

OBD plug-in

Plug in, drive off.

  • About 30 seconds to install — no tools, no installer
  • Move it between vehicles yourself in seconds
  • Lower upfront cost — R499 for the unit
  • Powered from the OBD port, no wiring
  • Same live tracking, geofencing, and logbook

Choose this if: you want one vehicle on the platform, you don't need stolen-vehicle recovery, and you might want to move the tracker between cars or sell it on later.

Hardwired

Permanent. Concealed. Recovery-ready.

  • Wired into the vehicle's electrics — much harder to remove
  • Supports stolen-vehicle recovery (24/7 monitored response)
  • Engine cut-off relay add-on on the 4G900L and FMC920
  • Reads ignition, harsh driving, jamming, and more
  • Backup battery flags any power cut as it happens

Choose this if: you want SVR, a fleet-grade install that stays put, or any of the advanced data — crash detection, driver ID, CAN bus, weatherproofing.

06 · Installation

Install it yourself — or don't.

Every device is built to be fitted without a specialist. Do it yourself, hand it to an auto electrician you already trust, or let us arrange an installer. Your choice — on every device.

DIY
Do it yourself

Most devices fit without a specialist. The OBD Mini plugs into your OBD port; the others connect to power or the battery. We'll guide you through whichever you choose.

YOUR ELECTRICIAN
Use someone you trust

Already have an auto electrician? Any of them can fit a TTC device in well under an hour. Every unit ships configured and ready — they just connect it to permanent power, then hide and secure it. Keep the relationship you've got; there's no approved-installer list to go through.

WE'LL ARRANGE IT
Let us handle it

Prefer it done for you? We can arrange a professional installer. Installation is quoted by your vehicle and location — ask us when you request your quote.

07 · Optional add-ons

10 · Common questions

Hardware, install, and ownership.

Do I really own the device?

Yes. You pay once and the hardware is yours — there is no rental, no return clause, and nothing to send back if you cancel. You can move it between vehicles, sell it on, or keep it as a spare. Other SA providers rent the hardware on multi-year contracts; we don't.

What's the difference between the OBD Mini and the hardwired devices?

The OBD Mini plugs into the diagnostic port in about 30 seconds and works as a self-install tracker for one vehicle. The hardwired devices (4G900L, FMC920, FMC880, FMB140) connect to power and are concealed in the vehicle — they're harder to remove, support stolen-vehicle recovery, and unlock more advanced data. If you want SVR or a permanent fitment, you need a hardwired device.

Can I install the hardware myself?

For the OBD Mini, yes — it's plug-and-play. For the hardwired devices, self-install is realistic if you're comfortable with a multimeter (about 20–30 minutes), or any auto electrician can fit one in well under an hour. The FMC880 clamps directly to the battery terminals and takes about 5 minutes. We don't insist on an approved-installer list — use whoever you trust.

Why don't you charge a monthly device fee?

Because you own the device. The monthly subscription (from R45/vehicle/month on annual, R50 on monthly) covers the tracking service and platform access — not the hardware. There's no separate device rental, activation fee, or contract.

Can I move my tracker between vehicles?

Yes. The OBD Mini moves in seconds — unplug from one car, plug into another. Hardwired devices need to be unwired and refitted but the unit and your subscription move with you. There's no transfer fee.

What's covered by the warranty?

Every device has a 12-month warranty on confirmed factory faults — we replace it. The warranty doesn't cover physical damage, water damage on non-weatherproof units, or tampering. The FMC880 is the only IP65-rated device in the range.

Do you ship outside Cape Town?

Yes — we courier nationwide, from R100. Hardware ships within one to two business days of payment. If you want a professional installer in your area, mention it on your quote request and we'll arrange one.

Which device should I get?

For a single vehicle with no SVR, start with the OBD Mini. For a car or bakkie that needs SVR, the 4G900L is the best value. For a fleet wanting crash detection and driver behaviour, the FMC920. For outdoor/plant equipment, the weatherproof FMC880. For trucks or fleets that need real CAN data (RPM, fuel, odometer), the FMB140. Still unsure? Drop us a line and we'll recommend one in plain English.
