OBD Tracker Installation Instructions (Xirgo OBD)
Note: All trackers ship from ClearPathGPS already activated, tested, and associated with your account.* The following text-to-activate process adds your vehicle's information to your account. Do this with the vehicle parked outside for good GPS/cellular connection. If the tracker has already been given a name in the Vehicle Admin page, only do steps 2, 3, 6, and 7 — then, on your map page, ensure the vehicle has appeared with its location.
Take note of the device's Activation Code (photo or write it down). It's a 15-digit number on the white label, also listed as the "Unique ID" in your ClearPathGPS Vehicle Admin page.
Plug the tracker into the vehicle's OBDII port — low down, underneath the dashboard, on the driver's side. You should see flashing lights if it's receiving power; if not, check the OBD port's fuse.
Wait 5 minutes.
Text the Activation Code from Step 1 to ClearPathGPS at (805) 695-2388.
You'll receive text messages prompting you to reply with vehicle information: Vehicle Name (shown on map); VIN (on the vehicle's registration and the vehicle itself); License Plate; Current Odometer.
After sending the odometer, turn on the engine and wait 30 seconds.
Turn off the engine and wait 30 seconds.
Text 'done' — you should get a reply saying 'installation complete.'
Tips
Vehicle info can be reviewed/edited in the 'Vehicle Admin' page.
If the install fails (e.g. IgnOn(Fail)): start the engine, wait 30 seconds, switch off, wait 30 seconds, then text DONE to re-test ignition detection. If the device fails to detect ignition after two attempts, call support at (805) 979-3442.
If you make a mistake, text RESET to restart at any time. One vehicle at a time.
