Most OBDII ports are found under the driver 

side dashboard near the steering column.  The  

SyncUP DRIVE App can assist in finding the port 

location as well as the following link: 

www.t-mobile.com/syncupdrive 

NOTE:

  The flashlight icon in the SyncUP DRIVE

TM

 

App will trigger the smartphone flashlight.

Plug in Your Device

Insert the OBDII device into the OBDII port for a 

snug fit.

Note:

  The SyncUp DRIVE device needs to 

connect to the network in order to complete the 

setup.  Ensure you are in an area without any 

coverage issues like an underground garage.

Start Driving

Once the device has a cellular connection, it will 

generate a GPS lock.
A short 10-minute drive will complete the setup of 

the device.  The SyncUp DRIVE App will confirm a 

successful connection. 

ATTENTION:

 Do not use your phone or the 

SyncUp DRIVE App while driving.  Do not unplug 

the device for 24 hours post installation.

Get The App

Search for “

SyncUp Drive

” in your Apple App 

Store, Google Play Store or visit:

Note:

 Verify your smartphone is up to date on the 

latest operating system version and meets the 

application’s minimum technical requirements.

Insert The Micro-SIM Card

Use the included SIM eject tool to eject the tray for 

the SIM from the SyncUP DRIVE device. Position 

the Micro-SIM card in the tray so that it sits flush and 

then insert the tray.

 The SIM card MUST be activated before 

going to Step 5.

Enter The IMEI Barcode

Each SyncUP DRIVE device has a unique 

15-digit code known as the IMEI.  The IMEI 

barcode is located on both the device sticker 

and the included WiFi Hotspot Card. 
The SyncUP DRIVE App will prompt you to enter 

the IMEI via scanning using your mobile phone 

camera or by entering the code manually.

Note: 

Do not plug the device into your vehicle 

until the SyncUP DRIVE App instructs you to do 

so in Step 7.
