XT24 OBD GPS Tracker
The XT24 is a compact, plug-and-play OBD GPS tracker designed for quick self-installation on passenger and light-duty vehicles. Built with an integrated GPS engine, cellular and GPS antennas, and a direct OBD interface, the XT24 delivers reliable vehicle location, speed and vehicle-bus telemetry to Plaspy for real-time tracking and fleet management.
The device is Plaspy compatible out of the box: it reads standard OBD-II parameters and many OEM proprietary PIDs, reports GNSS position over LTE Cat M1, and provides motion data from a 3-axis accelerometer. Use the XT24 to improve fleet visibility, implement anti-theft workflows, and capture vehicle telemetry such as ignition status and fuel-related PIDs when available from the vehicle’s OBD system.
Key Highlights
- Plug-and-play OBD installation — self-installs in seconds for rapid deployment across fleets.
- Plaspy compatible: transmits real-time GPS and OBD telemetry for seamless platform integration.
- LTE Cat M1 cellular connectivity for efficient, low-power wide-area communications.
- Integrated GPS receiver and antenna for dependable position and speed reporting.
- 3-axis accelerometer and motion detector for movement, impact and tamper awareness.
- Supports open OBD standard plus many OEM proprietary parameters for richer vehicle data.
- LED indicators for GPS lock, GSM registration and OBD communication to simplify commissioning.
How It Works with Plaspy
The XT24 sends location and vehicle-bus data directly to Plaspy via LTE Cat M1. Once plugged into the vehicle OBD port, the unit polls the vehicle’s ECU for supported OBD PIDs and combines those telemetry streams with GNSS position and accelerometer events. Plaspy ingests these messages to provide real-time tracking, alerts, route history and fleet reporting.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates — GNSS position and vehicle parameters push to Plaspy for live tracking.
- Ignition status and engine-related PIDs — read from the OBD port when the vehicle exposes those parameters.
- Fuel monitoring and diagnostic data — Plaspy can display fuel-related OBD PIDs where the vehicle supports them.
- Motion and impact events — the 3-axis accelerometer enables movement alerts, harsh braking or collision detection workflows.
- Anti-theft and immobilization workflows — pair XT24 telemetry with Plaspy controls and compatible immobilizer hardware for remote response.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The XT24 pairs simple installation with the data depth required for modern telematics programs. Its direct OBD access gives Plaspy the ability to display both GNSS-based real-time tracking and vehicle-bus telemetry such as ignition status and fuel-related parameters when available from the vehicle. LTE Cat M1 provides efficient cellular connectivity for continuous reporting without the power overhead of older 4G modules.
For fleet operators and managers looking to scale, the XT24 reduces installation time and provides the essential inputs to Plaspy for actionable insights — from route optimization and fuel monitoring to anti-theft alerts and telemetry-based maintenance triggers. When additional features such as remote immobilizer control or Bluetooth sensors are required, Plaspy can integrate XT24 data with compatible peripherals and services to build a complete vehicle security and diagnostics solution.
