      @art_of_shred true, and valid way to look at it.

      I was specifically thinking more of the "who are these guys and why would I want them to have my whereabouts?"

      Rather than the businesses buying the data.

      Yeah, it's really a front for a ring of chop-shops that want to steal your car. Or maybe it's burglars who want to know when you're the least likely to be home so they can ransack your house. 😛

      Wouldn't surprise me....

      Oh hey, track your car everywhere, we even pay for the cell service, and your house is robbed, and your car missing (chopped into a billion parts)

      Well, I think your car is safe. Not sure it would be worth their time to steal that thing... (sorry, couldn't help it)

      Hey now... I saw what you drive, besides the minion mobile!

      The 2016 Chrysler 200S?

      yeah, that yellow minion mobile!

                Just her color!

                      This should probably be not far from the truth!

                              I am short. Visibility in a Camero sucks. I don't like to drive in the dark. And why not be chauffeured around? Being SEEN in said car is better than driving it 🙂

                                    Are you looking to use this to track your kids or something? The device is fully visible in the OBD2 slot or nearly any vehicle. A thief with any sort of brains is gonna pull that right out.

                                      No - my reason for posting it was so someone could use it to track their mileage for reporting to their business, typically for reimbursement.

                                          I have one on order to try with my home automation software -- right now we use followmee.com on the phones but this would be better from a cell phone battery standpoint. Also plan to use https://amzn.com/B00EECXAY8 to extend the OBD port to hide the tracker better.
