Rankin GPS Shield
Hidden GPS tracking and theft-alert protection installed by Rankin Automotive
Protect daily drivers, high-theft vehicles, performance cars and small business fleets with a professionally installed, hidden GPS tracker. No visible OBD dongle. No blinking box on the dash. Rankin installs the device behind the dash with a fused hardwired connection so the system is clean, discreet and harder to tamper with.
Hidden install
Hardwired behind the dash with a fused connection. No loose plug-in tracker sitting in the OBD port.
Theft alerts
Live GPS, movement alerts and history help you react quickly if a vehicle moves when it should not.
Fleet ready
Useful for small business vehicles, route history, driver visibility, maintenance reminders and fleet reporting.
