Teltonika FMB020 — OBD plug-in GPS tracker
A compact GPS tracker for personal and company cars. You can plug it in yourself, without tools, to track your car and view trip history. No regular charging needed, and it’s easy to move to another car.
Connection and installation
The FMB020 plugs into the car’s OBD diagnostic port, which is usually under the dashboard on the driver’s side. No tools or separate wiring are needed. Plug in and remove the device with the ignition switched off.
The tracker uses the port only for power. Location, speed and mileage are determined by GPS; it does not read data from the car’s systems or the car’s own odometer.
The device is easy to unplug and move to another car. If you want concealed installation under the dashboard, the Teltonika FTC921 is a better fit.
If you need help finding the port or plugging the device in, visit our workshop in Peetri — we’ll help free of charge.
Operation while driving and when parked
While driving, the tracker switches to active mode automatically: it records the route and sends data at short intervals. You can follow the car on the map almost in real time. How often the position updates depends on the device settings and mobile coverage.
While parked, data is sent less often. With our standard settings, the tracker sends data once an hour. When the car starts moving again, the tracker automatically goes back to recording and sending data more often.
To send data, the FMB020 uses the 2G (GSM/GPRS) mobile network. The device’s operation depends on 2G coverage where it is used.
If mobile coverage is temporarily lost, the tracker stores the recorded data in its internal memory and sends it once the connection is restored.
Power and the car battery
The tracker draws power from the car battery through the OBD port and keeps using energy when the ignition is off. There is no need to remove the device for regular charging. A small built-in battery serves as a backup power source.
When the car is parked for long periods, the additional power draw can contribute to the car battery running down, especially if the battery is worn or not fully charged.
If the car is rarely used and stands unused for long periods, let us know when you order. We will choose suitable power-saving settings and increase the reporting interval while parked — for example, so that the tracker sends data once a day. This helps reduce power consumption, although the device still draws some power.
