DB2 Self - Install

Fitted to my Audi A8, does exactly what a says, easy to fit, easy to set up and so far reliable. Definitely aimed at the fleet market but as a personal use device it's excellent has more features than you will use and app UI is easy to figure out. Had this installed and up and running it 20 mins. Didn't install directly to the battery as I wanted it hidden from potential thieves so connects to a 12 volt lice and earth tapped up the wires with loom tape and hid thrle unit away behind some trims for a factory look. Overall great value for the money, subscription at £50 for 6onths is good if you have the car for the long term then 3 year subscription is the cheapest.

Something that actually does what it says on the tin, although no actual tin is involved! The positional accuracy is brilliant, I like the information layout, the way you can select the info you want. Fitting was a matter of five minutes and setup dead easy. Had it six months now and not a single issue. Well done!

Proper review coming up.. TLDR at the end.. Package arrived nicely boxed and I opened it up to find it's even smaller than I had anticipated. The cables are simply positive and negative but have plenty of length. I followed the instructions and registered it first then rushed to my car to install it to find that my battery is encased in a bracket with a BMS (Battery Mananagement System) on top. - that's lots of different terminals of varying colour. Not wanting to damage anything, I left it until the next day when I took it to my local garage and chucked the chap a tenner to find me a positive & negative (before you say anything, no, both cables are black and one is hidden on this modern car). He used a volt meter and in under 5 minutes, he had installed it and it works beautifully. Yes there is a subscription charge, but for what you get, it's amazing value for money. I've used TomTom's telematics and this is as good, if not better, for a fraction of the price! Both the app and the web console are fantastic, though you can do a bit more on the web console, such as set up zones etc. The signal strength and accuracy is extremely good, although not pinpoint (to my knowledge no device currently is), it is within a few metres at most. The device has a backup battery which lasts a long time, it can also alert you if it detects movement (vibrations), ignition on, idling, harsh braking or cornering, speeding and much more! It's easy to hide if you don't want people to find it (though I'm not worried about that). I do think the company could put some newer installation guides online covering newer vehicles and IF anything, that's the ONLY negative side, but a drink for the bloke that did it faster than I could? - worth it! TLDR: Possibly the best I've used Great price with great monthly subscription options that won't break the bank Accurate Versatile (Geofencing, vehicle monitoring etc) Modern cars may be a bit more fiddly to install Very well worth the money.

Easy to fit ,and a good little unit . However 1 thing i did find was subscription charges are not as advertised at £5.99 . The lowest i found was £7.99 so i selected the higher premium option at £9.99 a month.

Over the years i have dabbled with various cheap GPS trackers which require a 2G Sim Card and all of them have been unreliable. After a recent spate of motorcycle thefts in my area I bit the bullet, did a bit of research and settled on the DB2 as i only wanted the ability to live track and didn't need all the functionality of the others. Firstly it is quite small and slim and only has 2 wires (Pos & Neg). It can be wired directly to your battery or to a live and ground from elsewhere on the bike. The tracker has it's own backup battery and goes into sleep mode when not in use meaning it draws next to nothing from your battery. This protects from wearing your bikes battery down over long periods. If your bike is moved or started, it wakes up and alerts you. If a thief disconnects the battery, it has its own backup battery and will continue to function for a few days. When using the app it has been totally accurate and your trackers position can be viewed on a map or previous routes ridden on my bike can be called up and viewed. You view the location info by using an app or by logging onto the website. You can also see the voltage level of your vehicles battery and the level of the devices backup battery (and set up low level alerts) which is piece of mind for motorcycles with small batteries that could sit around for weeks at a time. There is plenty of other info on the app which i wasn't expecting with this basic model. The one thing i would have preferred would have been a slightly longer cable or having bullet connectors to make lengthening easier without chopping the original lead. You subscribe to the tracking service by paying a measly £5 per month for unlimited tracking using the inbuilt sim card. There is the ability to buy extra alerts via text and email but i see these as unnecessary an over priced when the app will alert you to you vehicle being stolen anyway as long as it has a data enabled on your phone or tablet. I love this tracker and for the money you would be a fool not to protect a motorcycle with one. This was my first DB2 and i have bought a second for my other motorbike. I just wish i had done it sooner as i have had 2 previous motorcycles stolen and reckon i would have stood a good chance of getting them back straight away if i had these fitted.

So we have a van which we decided needed a tracker. There are a lot of cheap versions which have some features but wanted something a bit more substantial and UK based. Thus the DB2. The ease to install....yes has 2 clips you can connect directly to the battery. However no indication of any fuse which I would expect with any 12v device. Just personally I like that extra peace of mind that the device isn't going to overheat and burn. It has a built in battery so if it disconnects it can continue to monitor for a short while. Set up is easy. scan the barcode on the app and voila. You get like a 2 week trial for free. Yes it works out £5 per month but the minimum i could see to buy was 3 months. Not sure where the 1 month is. Next up is the configuration. You can do some via the app and you can monitor but if you want to do any zones or clever alarms you have to use the web page on a desktop PC. Now the caveat in relation to the no hidden costs. Web notifications are free via the app. You have up to 150 emails a month. (not sure why the limit as emails are free if you have a mail server) SMS - you get none with the plan. if you want text messages with you alerts that is extra. £12.50 for 50. That works out 25p per text which in this day and age is rather expensive. So far like the device and the app and the web page work well. Am not against the company but have dropped the one star for limited emails and no sms at all with the subscription.

Easy instructions to follow, register account before fitting, two wires to connect on this product - Could it be any simpler? Received product within the day and fitted it immediately on arrival. Had been thinking for some time about fitting a tracker and after a spate of thefts locally my mind was made up. Loads of alternatives on the market. Value and simplicity sold this one to me. It is installed on my campervan leisure batteries for my convenience - downside of that is when the batteries are charging it registers that the ignition is on and can't tell when the ignition is actually on. Not a problem for me easy fix wire to vehicle battery if I was concerned, I'm not. I knew of this before purchase and the DB1 addresses this "issue" with a seperate ignition feed. DB1 also has a couple more features but for the additional cost I the DB2 was more than sufficient for the task for me. There is an ongoing subscrition charge to keep it alive but they all do somehow. Phone app is simple and you can set the level of alerts you want/need. Online app has extra information that can be illuminating for you - fun to browse! Vehicle battery and units backup battery are useful to check on. Because I've got mine hooked to the leisure batteries I get to know what my state of charge on those from my computer are albeit it basic voltage. Historical logs are easy to access and read. All round great buy for me.

Excellent product. Very easy to install and set up. It is also very accurate in terms of location.
