How do I track on a mobile device?

Download the 

Lightning 

GPS

 app, available for iPhone and Android. 

Just visit the 

App  Store or Google Play Store to download the app for free.

When I log in I don’t see my device. Why?

Your device may not have established a GPS connection yet. Make sure to test drive your vehicle after 

plugging in the 

OBD Car Tracker

.

If the unit is still not showing on the map after your test drive unplug the device from the OBD port and 

wait at least 20 seconds before plugging it back in. Make sure that the tracker is securely plugged in to the 

OBD-II port.
Observe the LED lights on the device. The Green light will glow solid for about 1 minute. The Blue light will 

then light up and blink every 3 seconds. After that, the Green light will begin to blink every second.

• If the Green light does not start to blink after a minute, this means that the device is having trouble

establishing a GPS signal. Consider moving the vehicle to a different location without any obstructions

that may be preventing it from establishing a connection (not parked indoors or near too many

surrounding trees or buildings).

• If the Blue light blinks rapidly every second instead of every 3 seconds, this means the device is still

searching for a cellular network. If the device doesn’t connect, it may mean the area you are in does

not have good cellular coverage or the unit is not yet active.

If the LED lights are behaving correctly, go for another test drive. If the unit is still not showing on the map 

after your test drive, please call or email our tech support team.
