Ring OBD-II Car Tracker & Alarm — Plug-and-Play Vehicle GPS Tracker, No Monthly Fee, 7-Day Backup Battery

Ring Sensors: Car Tracker and Alarm is a plug-and-play OBD-II vehicle tracker that sends real-time alerts, shows your car’s location on a map, and works without a monthly subscription.

Designed for everyday drivers and fleet owners, this compact Ring device installs quickly into your vehicle’s OBD-II port to monitor location, motion, and disturbance events. It draws power while the vehicle runs and switches to an internal backup battery for up to seven days when parked. Built to extend connectivity with Amazon Sidewalk, it helps you find and protect your vehicle without recurring fees or complex setups.

How does Ring track my vehicle’s location?

The Ring tracker uses GPS and cellular signals to report your vehicle’s position to the Ring app at regular intervals. When combined with Amazon Sidewalk’s extended network, the device can maintain location updates even when standard signals are weak or the vehicle is parked near Sidewalk-enabled devices.

• Map view in the Ring app with periodic location updates.
• GPS + cellular positioning for accurate tracking while driving.
• Amazon Sidewalk support for extended nearby coverage.
• Backup battery keeps reporting for up to seven days when parked.

What alerts and protections does it provide?

Ring sends notifications for impacts, door openings, and other disturbances so you can respond quickly. Alerts are configurable in the app to focus on the events most important to you, and timestamps and location data help with follow-up if needed.

• Impact and tamper notifications to detect collisions or interference.
• Door opening alerts to know when someone accesses the vehicle.
• Event history with timestamps and map pins for context.
• No subscription required to receive core alert features.

How easy is the installation and compatibility?

Installation is a simple plug-and-play process: plug the Ring tracker into your vehicle’s OBD-II port—no tools, wiring, or professional installation needed. It's compatible with most cars and light trucks that have a standard OBD-II diagnostic port, making setup fast for most drivers.

• Plugs into standard OBD-II ports used in most vehicles.
• No wiring, soldering, or dashboard removal required.
• Immediate power while driving; internal battery for parked periods.

Will I need a subscription or ongoing fees?

Optional premium services or extended cloud features may be available through Ring’s ecosystem but are not required for core tracking and alerts.
