Tamper Alerts & Backup Battery

Tamper alerts with a 72-hour backup battery: cut the wiring and you get an instant alert while the hidden unit keeps reporting location on its own power.

A tracker that can be quietly unplugged is worthless on a financed car. Tamper alerts and a 72-hour backup battery make PayToStart hard to silence.

What triggers a tamper alert

  • Wiring cut or disconnected
  • Loss of vehicle power to the unit
  • Attempts to remove the device
  • Instant notification to your dashboard and phone

The 72-hour backup battery

If the main wiring is cut, the internal battery takes over and keeps sending location for up to 72 hours. Tampering does not make the car disappear — it makes it easier to find, and gives you a documented event.

Hidden by default

The unit installs in-line on the CAN bus and tucks out of sight in the cabin, so it cannot be casually located or pulled. See how it fits the GPS tracker and the audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the borrower cuts the wiring?

Can the buyer find and remove the device?
