Wired or OBD tracker: how to choose
Compare WY320, Y18 and WYOBD by installation, required data and compatibility checks
Start with the installation, the information you need and the actual vehicle. A permanent wired installation, a connection for peripherals and power through an OBD connector serve different project needs.
| Device | Suitable requirements | Installation and checks |
|---|---|---|
| WY320 | Tracking with compatible sensors, vehicle signals or other peripherals. | Twelve-wire harness. Check power, ACC, required signals and each peripheral. |
| Y18 | A compact tracker for a permanent wired installation. | Four-wire installation with ACC input. Check mounting, power, alerts and reporting settings. |
| WYOBD | Sample evaluation, rental handovers and location visibility on compatible vehicles. | Power through the OBD connector. Check access, fitting space, vehicle and supported functions. |

Choose for the task
For a long-term installation focused on location and ignition status, start by checking the Y18 fitting conditions. For additional sensor or vehicle-signal requirements, list the actual peripherals before discussing WY320 connections. More interfaces still require compatibility checks.
WYOBD plugs into the OBD connector for power on compatible vehicles. Check access to the connector and available installation space. Power through OBD does not establish support for vehicle diagnostics.
Include connectivity and software
Confirm the device variant, local network, SIM and data arrangements, and software account configuration. If you already use a platform, include its protocol and integration requirements. For an enquiry, describe the country, vehicle, installation and information you want to verify.
