Hidden GPS FMC130 – hard-wired tracker with power backup

The FMC130 is wired permanently into the vehicle supply and hidden behind the trim – there is nothing to spot from the outside. Its own backup battery keeps reporting even when someone cuts the power, and Bluetooth adds driver identification or sensors.

Concealed fitting nobody sees

The FMC130 runs off the 10–30 V vehicle supply, so it suits cars, vans and 24 V trucks alike. Both the GNSS and cellular antennas sit inside the unit – no external antenna has to be routed anywhere, so the tracker disappears behind the trim, under the dashboard or behind a seat.

The whole device measures 65 × 56.6 × 20.6 mm and weighs 55 grams, so it fits even where space is tight. We fit it permanently – that is the main difference from an OBD unit, which is visible at a glance and can be pulled out in a second.

It reports even when the power is cut

The unit carries a 170 mAh backup battery. When the supply from the vehicle is interrupted, the device reports it by itself and keeps sending its position for a while – exactly the moment that decides the outcome of a theft.

Besides an unplugged supply it also detects towing of a parked vehicle, a crash and GSM jamming. Alerts arrive by e-mail and are visible in the app.

4G with fallback to 3G and 2G

The unit connects over LTE Cat 1 and falls back to 3G or 2G whenever 4G is unavailable. It fixes its position from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS with accuracy under 2.5 metres.

While driving it sends a position every 60 seconds, and less often when parked so it wastes neither data nor the vehicle battery. A data SIM and coverage across Europe are part of the monthly service.

Extend it with exactly what you need

The FMC130 has three digital inputs, two analogue inputs and three outputs, a 1-Wire interface for iButton, a CAN adapter input and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. So you can tell drivers apart with an iButton chip or a wireless beacon on their keys, use an output for an immobiliser and the pulse inputs for a fuel flow meter.

From our range it pairs with the driver identification beacon and the temperature and humidity sensor – both without a single extra cable.

Every service feature included

With the FMC130 you get a logbook that fills itself in, live position, zones with alerts, driving-style scoring and export to PDF and Excel.

Your data is stored encrypted and you reach it from a computer or the mobile app. The service starts at €6/month with no lock-in, and the loyalty price drops to €4.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Where is the FMC130 fitted?

Permanently into the 10–30 V vehicle supply, hidden behind the trim, under the dashboard or behind a seat. The antennas are inside the unit, so nothing has to be routed to the windscreen or roof.

What happens if someone cuts the power?

The unit reports it by itself and, thanks to the 170 mAh backup battery, keeps sending its position for a while. It also detects towing of a parked vehicle, a crash and signal jamming.

Can driver identification be added?

Yes. Either with a classic iButton chip over the 1-Wire interface, or wirelessly with a Bluetooth beacon the driver keeps on their keys. The trip is then assigned to the driver automatically.

How does it differ from the OBD unit FMC003?

An OBD unit plugs into the socket under the steering wheel in seconds, but it is visible and can be pulled out. The FMC130 is fitted permanently and stays hidden – the right choice where monitoring should be discreet.

How much does the hidden GPS FMC130 cost?

With annual payment for the service the device is included. It stays ours for 24 months; after two years you buy it for €1 excl. VAT – as long as you have paid for 12 months of service. With monthly payment its indicative one-off price is €60.
