Please get the exact correct APN name from local SIM card provider. Take the tracker to a good signal place for operation and configure the APN for it as below:
| SMS Command Format | Reply | Example | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| APN,ApnName,User,Password# | SET APN OK | APN,orange,orange,orange# | If the SIM card has APN user and APN password, then use this command. |
| APN,ApnName# | SET APN OK | APN,internet# | If the SIM card operator doesn't have APN user and APN password, then please use this command. |
Note: The APN information is very important; it must be 100% correct to match the SIM card of the tracker. If you configured the wrong APN, the tracker will also reply "SET APN ok" but it will not get online!

5. Functions Explanation
Please follow with the quick user guide carefully!
a. Vibration Alert
This vibration alert function just works under stationary status. How to use this function:
- First Step: Configure SOS numbers for the tracker by this SMS command:
SOS,A,1st number,2ndnumber,3rd number#. 3 SOS numbers are supported at most. - Second Step: Enable the device to enter into arm mode by this SMS command:
ARM#. - Third Step: Configure the alarm ways by this SMS command:
SENALM,[A][,M]#. A=ON/OFF, [Default: OFF]; M=0/1/2, way of alarming (0: Platform only, 1: SMS+Platform, 2: Platform+SMS+phonecall, [Default:1]). - Fourth Step: Keep the device under stationary status for more than 5 minutes to let it enter into sleep arm mode.
- Five Step: Vibrate the device, then the tracker will send the vibration alarm messages.
For example:
MV55G SOS,A,12345678910# → SET SOS NUMBER OK
ARM# → SET ARM MODE OK
SENALM,ON,1# → SET VIBRATE ALARM OK
b. Engine Status Change Detection
Once the OBD tracker detects engine start or flameout, it will send an alarm message out, and the alarm ways are configurable by SMS, call, and tracking platform.
- First Step: Configure SOS numbers for the tracker by this SMS command:
SOS,A,1st number,2nd number,3rd number#. 3 SOS numbers are supported at most. - Second Step: Configure the alarm ways via this SMS command:
ACCALM,ON,A,M,N#. Alarm ways: A=ON/OFF, [Default: ON]; M=0/1/2 (way of alarm) (0: GPRS only, 1: SMS+GPRS, 2: GPRS+SMS+CALL, [Default:1]); N=0/1/2; (0: ACC ON&OFF Alarm; 1: ACC ON Alarm; 2: ACC OFF Alarm; [Default:0]).
For example:
MV55G SOS,A,12345678910# → SET SOS NUMBER OK
ACCALM,ON,1# → SET ACC ALARM OK
c. Plug out alarm
If someone plugs out the device, it will send an alarm message out, and the alarm ways are configurable by SMS, call, and tracking platform.
- First Step: Configure SOS numbers for the tracker by this SMS command:
SOS,A,1st number,2nd number,3rd number#. 3 SOS numbers are supported at most. - Second Step: Enable this function by this command:
PWRALM,A,B#. A =ON/OFF, [Default:ON]; Ways of alarming: B=0/1/2 (0: Platform only, 1: SMS+Platform, 2 :Platform+SMS+Call, [Default:2]).
For example:
MV55G SOS,A,12345678910# → SET SOS NUMBER OK
PWRALM,ON,1# → SET POWER ALARM OK
6. Installation Recommendation
Where is the OBD interface?
Most of the car's OBD interface is located in A and B. A small part of the car will be in C, D, and E.
[Diagram of a car's interior showing common locations (Areas A, B, C, D, E) for the OBD interface.]
| Area | Vehicle Makes |
|---|---|
| Area A | VW, Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, Citroen, BMW, etc./Most cars. |
| Area B | Honda, Lexus, etc. |
| Area C | Dongfeng Citronen, etc. |
| Area D/E | A few cars... |
7. Troubleshooting
| Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Unable to connect to tracking platform | Check the APN and settings. Check whether the data service of SIM card is enabled. Check the balance of SIM card. |
| Tracker shows offline | Check whether external power is still connected. Check if the vehicle entered network blind area. Check the balance of SIM card. |
| Unable to locate | Make sure the top side is facing upward without metallic things shielded. Make sure it's not in an area with no satellite coverage. |
| Location drift | In areas with poor GNSS signal (tall buildings around or basement), drifting may happen. Check whether vibration happens around to trigger the accelerator. |
| No command reply | Make sure the command format is correct. Vehicle may be in a network blind area. Make sure SIM card is well inserted and has SMS service. |
