Vyncs 4G LTE GPS Tracker Connected Car Solution
Real-Time Tracking, Geofences, and Driver Safety
Vehicle Tracking
While driving, Vyncs Basic collects data every second, analyzes that, and transfers the data every 3 minutes from the device to our servers (15/30/60 second upgrades available). Even if your car’s engine is off, Vyncs wakes up every hour to update you. Compare this important feature with other products. Vyncs also reports real-time location and records all of the trips your vehicle has taken, including start and stop addresses. Offers real speed limits on map.
Be in the Know
Set up Geofences from your account for knowing when your vehicles enter and/or exit a certain area. Unlike other products, Vyncs offers a more-powerful, any-shape geofence (not just a circular fence which often does not work in many locations). If your device has been plugged back into your car’s OBD-II port after being removed, get tamper alerts (the device doesn’t have a battery for safety reasons). Get alerts when they drive during curfew hours. Get notifications on your Android/iOS devices and desktop/laptop.
Know How They’re Driving
View where your drivers’ rapid acceleration and harsh braking events occur on a map. See how often your drivers speed with our speeding histogram, which shows you how much time the driver spends in certain speed ranges. Know how much your drivers are idling. Evaluate your drivers with the Vyncs Driver Score, which Vyncs calculates from how safe each trip your driver takes over time. Get unsafe driving alerts for speeding (above a custom threshold), rapid acceleration, harsh braking, and rough cornering.
Vehicle Health Monitoring, Fuel Reports, and Location Sharing Beyond the Car
Solve Problems Before They Get Big
Vyncs collects all the generic vehicle trouble code data that’s only accessible through the OBD-II port, a.k.a be the first to know exactly what’s happening with your car before it becomes a big issue. See all of the details within your account. Check engine lights and emission information are reported whenever available as well. Get maintenance reminders, recall notices (compare these feature with other products) issued by your car’s manufacturer, and your car’s battery health condition.
Smart Fuel, Smart Savings
Know how much fuel is left in your vehicles (supported as long as the vehicle reports this data through the OBD-II port), track the fuel cost with VyncsFleet, and get personalized fuel savings tips. Vyncs correlates fuel consumption with how the vehicle is being driven and reports the aspects of one's driving that is contributing towards increased fuel consumption.
Track Beyond the Car
Don’t be limited to the car! Track beyond the car with our optional and unique Android/iOS device location-sharing feature, Vyncs Groups at no extra cost (compare this with other products). Keep track of your loved ones when they’re walking, biking, or on public transit. Create private groups and add anyone you want via a custom group code-- all they need is the Android/iOS app! You may turn off the feature at any time. Even use it to find your lost or stolen Android/iOS device easily. This is optional. Use it only if you need to.
24/7 Roadside Assistance and Smart Devices
24/7 Roadside Services
Be ready for anything with free roadside services in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico with Vyncs Premium or via upgrade. The program includes 24/7 roadside assistance, towing, winching, lost key/lock-out help, fuel delivery, and more. Some restrictions are applicable.
The Vyncs Link Device and Vyncs Cables
The Vyncs Link is a tiny but very powerful device. It has a dedicated accelerometer for detecting 3-axis acceleration and braking events. Device does not need a battery. Dimension: 1.75 x 2 x 0.75 inches; Weight: 2.2 ounces. If you want to use an OBD-II extension cable (optional), use only the Vyncs OBD-II extension cable for safety.

Title: TERRIFIC VALUE
Review: Bottom Line Up Front - Excellent product, software, and value. Highly recommended!We recently canceled the BluLink service through Hyundai due to the high cost of the service. After reading other reviews and options I purchased the Vyncs for our 2021 Hyundai. The install and programming was very easy, and the quality of the geo mapping and diagnostic data is terrific. The mapping and data access is also available remotely without my cell phone via the Vyncs website. I am very happy with the product and software and decided to purchase another one for my old truck as the software supports family and fleet units if you have a business. The price and value are much better than going with the service option from Hyundai.One issue...our neighborhood WaWa is not listed in the gas station options but I'm providing that feedback to Vyncs directly.

Title: STEER CLEAR OF THIS DEVICE UNLESS YOU LIKE CRAPPY CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Review: This device is ok if you want to monitor your vehicle's location (as long as it's NOT a 2020 Honda). My son likes it because we live in a high-theft area and if it disappears, we can track it. Not so good for monitoring battery and engine issues (more below).UPDATE #1: It's been over a year now, and the device has not only delivered great results, but it has delivered piece of mind. My son's 1997 Tahoe had an issue with the 02 oxygen sensors and the device notified us of early detection. While not a serious issue, fuel consumption can be troublesome with a truck, especially when it's not functioning properly. Vyncs saved us some $! In addition, the GPS tracker and the trip features are worth every penny. I just hope we never have to use it to track the truck if it's stolen.UPDATE#2: This device was moved from a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe to a 2020 Honda Civic Sedan. It is NOT compatible with the Honda (regarding MPG data) and here's the response I received directly from VYNCS:Most manufacturers have about 3 generic parameters that give fuel level. These are generic parameters but not mandatory and available only for the light-duty vehicles. Because it is not mandatory, some manufacturers will not provide the parameters and if they do not, the fuel level page will be blank. Every Honda Civic since MY 2011 have not provided sufficient parameters through the OBDII system. Until Honda changes their OBDII protocol for a future generation this information will not be available in any 2011+ Honda vehicles.UPDATE #3: STEER CLEAR OF THIS DEVICE UNLESS YOU LIKE CRAPPY CUSTOMER SERVICE.On Feb. 22, 2022, the GPS failed to function. I wrote customer service through the ONLY outlet they have on the website and notified them of such. I was told that the device had expired and that I was not only required to buy a NEW 4G device, but that I also had to pay another activation fee!!!!First off, you can't speak with ANYONE at this company. EVER. Email is not answered. You can only go through their tech support link and the responses are sketchy at best. Aside from the wordy explanation they gave me (above) for the fact that a 2020 Honda Accord isn't compatible, they've NEVER answered my queries in detail -- it's as though you're dealing with the Chinese all over again. A detailed description, such as what I'm writing now, deserves a detailed response. NOT POSSIBLE with Vyncs. You can ask a specific question and they send back some "form letter" response that may or may not have anything to do with the issue you are concerned with. I am VERY disappointed with this company.Things started out okay with the device working in a 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe, but when it was moved to a 2020 Honda Accord, EVERYTHING except the GPS function went south. It even gave false battery charge level readings. When I contacted the company, they would respond sometimes within 24 hours, mostly within 48 hours and you can FORGET ABOUT RESPONSES ON WEEKENDS. Do yourself a favor (if you are an individual looking for some accurate information) and look elsewhere -- regardless of the "no monthly fee" claim. They don't provide a good enough service to warrant one!These people talk a good sales game, but when presented with a serious query that requires problem-solving skills, they have nothing to offer. Save your money or shop a competitor!!!!

Title: I'm satisfied. Does what I wanted it to do.
Review: I bought this for my daughters truck when she left Cali for Nort Carolina. It worked great to monitor the truck while being shipped back east. The shipping company sucked. They were late and lied about the excuse. I knew exactly where it was even when it was being hauled.

Title: This replaces onstar service on GM vehicle
Review: This is actually a better product and less expensive than the service offered with GM vehicle. This device is very easy to use and charges using vehicle battery (does not drain the vehicle battery though). This accurately tracks locations as well. The size and location of this device is discreet. I think I have had to contact technical support once and they responded in a timely manner. I would recommend this. Note this does require annual renewal but the price is less than onstar.

Review: Excellent price, the app sometimes doesnât load but if I try later on the day it works. It has everything I need to track my workers and it shows when they leave and enter the âhome zoneâ also the fuel level, and you can set up a notification for whatever fuel percentage you need. I set up at 20% so I donât forget to put gas on my workers vehicles.

Review: Je viens de recevoir le tracker.L'installation est très facile. Après avoir créé un compte sur le site (ou via l'app) de Vyncs, ajouté un véhicule, un conducteur et activé le tracker (10$ de frais d'activation), j'ai l'ai pluggé dans le port OBD2 de ma voiture. Je l'ai installé via un câble de rallonge OBD2 et cela fonctionne parfaitement.Il s'est immédiatement mis en fonction et j'ai démarré le moteur. Les premières informations ont directement été transmises vers mon compte pour consultation.Les données sont uploadées toutes les 3 minutes et le tracker enregistre un très grand nombre d'événements (allumage et extinction du moteur, positionnement GPS, vitesse, consommation de carburant, etc...). Tout semble donc fonctionner à merveille et à vérifier à l'usage dans le temps.Le seul bémol, c'est que tout leur site internet et l'app sont en anglais, ce qui n'est pas un soucis pour moi mais qui peut gêner certaines personnes. Autre petite chose constatée, le prix moyen du carburant doit être mentionné en US dollar...J'ai configuré des zones de geofencing, et pour l'instant, malgré le passage au travers d'elles, je n'ai pas reçu de notifications (peut-être un détail de configuration qui m'a échappé).J'avais au départ commandé un tracker Invoxia, qui fonctionnait très mal et qui n'était absolument pas fiable dans les données transmises.Pour l'instant, très satisfait de mon nouvel achat. Si mon expérience devait changer, je ne manquerai pas de modifier mon commentaire.UPDATE : Le Geofencing fonctionne maintenant. Je reçois des mails et des notifications push via l'app lorsque l'on entre ou sort des zones que j'ai définies. --> +1 étoile

Review: Ordered this device 2 x and did not work on both occasions. Supports takes 24hrs to respond to every single query to troubleshoot the issue. Looked at other reviews and discovered i'm having the same problems. Unsure how this has become the best seller and can only conclude it is false advertising. Note i am now waiting for a refund on the activation fee
Customers say
Customers like the product's tracking capability, ease of installation, and value for money. They mention it works well, tracks the vehicle location parked and while traveling, and is easy to set up geofences. Some are also happy with the peace of mind and speed notifications. However, some customers differ on accuracy and speed.
