Installation
Up and running in minutes.
No technician needed. Every device is designed for self-installation by anyone on your team.
Installing the OBD Tracker
Locate your OBD-II port
Find the port under the dashboard on the driver’s side. All NZ vehicles from the mid-90s onwards have one.
Plug in the extension cable (recommended)
Insert the extension cable into the OBD port first. This lets you tuck the tracker out of sight so it can’t be casually unplugged.
Plug in the tracker
Connect the OBD tracker to the extension cable. It powers on automatically — no buttons, no setup.
Pair in BONNET
In the fleet portal, open your vehicle profile and enter the device ID printed on the tracker.
Done — go for a drive
Your vehicle will appear live on the BONNET map within minutes of your first drive.
Installing the Battery Tracker
Choose a mounting location
Find a hidden, protected spot inside the cab or under the machine — away from direct water exposure.
Connect the battery cable
Attach the supplied U-type clamp cable to the vehicle or machine battery. Takes under 5 minutes.
Secure the device
Mount the IP65-rated tracker using the supplied hardware. It’s built to handle tough NZ conditions.
Pair in BONNET
Add the vehicle in the fleet portal and enter the device ID to register it to your account.
Start the vehicle
The tracker will come online and appear live on your BONNET map within minutes.
Installing the Trailer Tracker
Insert AA batteries
Open the device and load 2 AA lithium batteries (available from any hardware or supermarket).
Remove the activation magnet
Pull the magnet off the device to wake it up. Keep it safe — you can use the magnet to put the device back to sleep if needed.
Mount on the asset
Attach to a flat surface on the trailer using the supplied stainless steel screws, cable ties, or rivets. Conceal if possible.
Pair in BONNET
Add the asset in your fleet portal and enter the device ID printed on the tracker.
Check the map next day
The tracker sends its first location within 24 hours, then pings whenever the asset moves.

FAQ
Common questions
Can’t find your answer? Reach out — the team is always happy to help.
Do I need a technician to install the hardware?
Nope! The OBD tracker plugs in like a USB stick (~2 mins), the battery tracker connects to the vehicle battery (~5 mins), and the trailer tracker is just screws and batteries. No professional installation needed.
What vehicles work with OEM Connect?
OEM Connect currently supports BYD, Tesla, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It connects directly to the manufacturer’s app API — no hardware required. More brands are coming soon.
Is OEM Connect really free?
Yes — if you’re on the BONNET Auto RUC programme and don’t need GPS tracking, OEM Connect is completely free. Your vehicle’s factory data powers automatic RUC purchasing at no extra cost.
Will the OBD tracker work with my vehicle?
The OBD-II port is standard in virtually all NZ petrol and diesel vehicles from the mid-1990s onwards. If you’re unsure, just get in touch and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.

No lock-in contracts. Pay month-to-month or choose annual billing to save 10%. Cancel or scale up anytime.
