The G500L is a 4G global OBD GPS tracker designed for fast, plug-and-play installation into any vehicle OBD-II socket. Built for fleet managers and vehicle owners who need reliable real-time tracking and OBD-level telemetry without complex wiring, the G500L combines hybrid positioning (GPS / AGPS / LBS), industrial-grade 4G connectivity, and remote reading of vehicle parameters such as fuel consumption and temperature.
Plaspy compatible out of the box, the G500L delivers continuous location updates, diagnostic trouble code (DTC) reporting, and anti-tamper alerts directly to your Plaspy dashboard. Because it installs in seconds and supports all common OBD-II protocols, the G500L speeds deployment for fleet management, anti-theft monitoring, and preventive maintenance workflows.
Key Highlights
- Plug-and-play OBD-II installation — no professional modification required for fast rollouts.
- Plaspy compatible for real-time tracking and seamless telemetry ingestion into fleet management dashboards.
- Hybrid positioning (GPS / AGPS / LBS) for fast fixes and reliable location accuracy (~10 m typical).
- Remote OBD-II parameter readout — fuel monitoring, temperature, and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for preventive maintenance.
- Industrial-grade 4G global communication for wide-area coverage and dependable data links.
- Low-power design with ultra-low standby current and a built-in 50mAh backup battery to report during power interruptions.
- Anti-tamper (violent demolition) alarm to detect and report unauthorized removal attempts.
How It Works with Plaspy
The G500L sends standard OBD-II vehicle parameters together with GNSS and cellular telemetry to Plaspy, enabling real-time tracking, alerts, and historical reports. Once plugged into the vehicle OBD-II port the device reads supported PIDs and DTCs, polls GNSS for position, and transmits packets over the device’s 4G link. Plaspy ingests those feeds to create live maps, telemetry dashboards, and automated alerts for events like tamper attempts or diagnostic faults.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates — GNSS + AGPS + LBS data streamed to Plaspy.
- Vehicle OBD-II parameters — fuel consumption, temperature, and diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) available in Plaspy reports.
- Ignition (ACC) status detection — useful for trip segmentation, idle detection, and event triggers in Plaspy.
- Anti-theft / anti-tamper alerts — violent demolition alarm reported to Plaspy for immediate notifications.
- Backup battery reporting — device remains able to report during brief power loss and Plaspy can surface backup battery status.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
For organizations and individuals seeking a reliable, easy-to-deploy GPS tracker that is Plaspy compatible, the G500L offers a focused combination of OBD-level telemetry and industrial 4G communications. Its plug-and-play OBD-II connection cuts installation time and eliminates the need for wiring expertise, while hybrid positioning and global 4G support keep location and telemetry flowing to Plaspy for accurate real-time tracking.
Practical value includes improved fleet management through fuel monitoring and DTC visibility, stronger anti-theft workflows with tamper alerts, and low-power behavior that preserves vehicle battery and device uptime. The G500L is specifically suited to deployments that require OBD protocol compatibility, straightforward integration into Plaspy, and dependable telemetry for operational decisions — without adding installation complexity.
Note on related integrations: the G500L reports ignition/ACC status and detailed OBD-II data to Plaspy for event-driven rules (e.g., trip start/stop, idle alerts). While the device itself is focused on OBD connectivity and does not include embedded Bluetooth sensors or an immobilizer actuator, Plaspy can coordinate with vehicle systems or external gateways to implement immobilizer controls or add wireless sensor data where required.
