GPS Tracking — No Subscription
Real-time GPS vehicle tracking built into the screen already in your dash. No standalone tracker to hide, no cellular plan to pay, no monthly subscription. HALO turns your Android head unit into a full vehicle tracking system — included with the device, forever.
Most car GPS trackers require a separate SIM card and a monthly cellular plan — typically $15 to $30 per month — just to send your car's position to your phone. HALO takes a different approach. Your Android head unit already has internet connectivity through your car's built-in WiFi, a mobile hotspot, or an LTE module. HALO uses that existing connection to upload GPS coordinates to a secure cloud backend. No additional hardware. No cellular contract. No recurring fees.
When your ignition is on, HALO polls the GPS receiver built into your head unit and streams your vehicle's location to your private dashboard. When you turn the car off, the last known position is stored and timestamped. Open your phone, see exactly where you parked — and exactly when the ignition was last on.

Your car's position displayed on a dark, high-contrast map — visible from your phone or your head unit. Pinch to zoom, tap to center. The same map interface whether you're checking from the couch or sitting in the driver's seat. No lag, no clunky third-party app, no ads.
Draw a boundary around your home, your office, or the valet parking zone. HALO sends a push notification the moment your vehicle crosses a geofence boundary — entering or leaving. Know when your car moves without watching a screen. Useful for fleet operators, parents monitoring teen drivers, and anyone who parks on the street.
Every trip is logged — start location, end location, distance, duration, and the complete route traced on a map. Scroll back through days and weeks of driving history. Useful for mileage tracking, expense reports, or figuring out exactly where you went last Tuesday.
If your car is stolen, activate Lost Mode from your phone. HALO switches to high-frequency GPS polling — every 30 seconds instead of every 5 minutes — giving law enforcement a near-real-time bread crumb trail. Combined with ignition event logging, you'll know the exact moment someone started your vehicle and every turn they took after.
Standalone GPS trackers are fragile, easy to find and remove, and require their own power source. HALO uses the GPS receiver already built into your head unit — hardwired to vehicle power, hidden behind the dash panel, invisible to anyone who doesn't know it's there. Nothing to charge, nothing to replace, nothing to discover.
Most GPS car trackers — AirTag, Bouncie, LandAirSea, Vyncs — require either a monthly subscription or a separate piece of hardware wedged under your seat. Here's how HALO compares.
| Feature | HALO | Standalone Trackers |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | None | $8–$30/mo |
| Separate hardware | No — uses head unit | Yes — OBD dongle or battery pack |
| Removable | No — hardwired behind dash | Yes — easy to find and unplug |
| Trip history | Included | Varies by plan tier |
| Geofencing | Included | Often premium-tier only |
| Live map | Full-screen dark map | Small phone app |
| Additional features | Diagnostics, gauges, telemetry | Tracking only |
HALO GPS tracking works with any vehicle that has a compatible G-Series Android head unit installed. GPS tracking is universal — it works regardless of your vehicle's make or model. CAN bus telemetry (RPM, door states, coolant temp) varies by vehicle and is expanding continuously.
Popular supported makes include Infiniti, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda, Lexus, Acura, and many more. Check the full vehicle list for your specific year and model.
The head unit powers down when the ignition is off, so live tracking pauses. Your last known location and timestamp are preserved and visible on your dashboard. When you start the car again, tracking resumes automatically and any buffered events are uploaded.
Correct. HALO GPS tracking is included with the device at no recurring cost. There is no SIM card to pay for — the system uses your vehicle's existing internet connection (WiFi, hotspot, or LTE module).
HALO uses the GPS receiver built into your Android head unit, which typically provides accuracy within 3 to 10 meters — comparable to your smartphone. In urban canyons or covered parking, accuracy may decrease, as with any GPS device.
Because HALO runs on your head unit — which is hardwired to the vehicle and mounted behind the dash — it is significantly harder to locate and remove than a standalone tracker clipped to an OBD port or hidden under a seat.
Yes. Your HALO dashboard supports multiple vehicles. Each vehicle with a HALO-equipped head unit appears on your account with independent tracking, trip history, and alerts.
