Mob-One installation guide

What's in the box

• Mob-One GPS tracker unit (Pre-activated for your specific vehicle)
• OBD-II Y-splitter cable (1 male connector, 2 female connectors)
• SIM card (pre-installed in the tracker)
• Zip ties for cable management
• VIN - IP Table: A printed list matching each device to its specific vehicle

Before you begin

Watch: Y-cable installation video

Skip the Manual Setup: We have already pre-activated your devices and linked them to your VINs based on your order. You do not need to manually type in VINs or activate serial numbers in the portal.

IMPORTANT: Match the Device to the Car: Because each device is already "assigned" to a specific vehicle in our system, you MUST consult the included VIN - IP Table.

Installing Device A into Vehicle B will cause Tint to receive incorrect mileage data for both cars, which may impact your insurance coverage.

Make sure your vehicle is parked and the engine is off before starting.

You'll need:

• About 15 minutes
• A flashlight (helpful for seeing under the dashboard)
• The VIN - IP Table from your box

Understanding the Y-cable

The Y-splitter cable has three connectors:

• 1 male connector (plug) — this connects to your vehicle's factory OBD-II harness
• 2 female connectors (sockets) — one for the Mob-One tracker, one replaces the original OBD-II port in the dashboard

Step 1: Locate the OBD-II port

The OBD-II port is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side, near the steering column. It's a 16-pin trapezoidal connector, typically black.

Step 2: Disconnect the factory OBD-II port

Unclip the original OBD-II port from its mounting bracket under the dashboard. Most ports are held in place by a simple plastic clip — press the tab and slide it out. No tools required.

Be gentle when unclipping. The port is attached to the vehicle's wiring harness — you're just removing it from its mounting position, not disconnecting any wires.

Step 3: Connect the Y-cable

1. Verify the Device: Check the IP/Serial on the tracker against your VIN - IP Table to ensure you are in the correct vehicle.
2. Plug the Y-cable's male connector into the factory OBD-II harness (where the original port was connected).
3. Connect the Mob-One tracker to one of the Y-cable's female connectors.
4. Take the other female connector — this becomes the new accessible OBD-II port.

Step 4: Mount and hide

1. Clip the replacement female connector into the original dashboard bracket. This ensures mechanics can still access the OBD-II port for diagnostics.
2. Tuck the Mob-One tracker behind the dashboard, out of sight. Use the included zip ties to secure it so it doesn't rattle.

Step 5: Verify the installation

Turn the vehicle's ignition to "ON" (you don't need to start the engine).

Check the LEDs: Look at the side of the Mob-One tracker unit. If you see any lights turned ON or blinking, the device has power and is functioning.

NOTE - Don't worry about the specific color or blinking pattern. As long as there is light activity, the device is successfully drawing power from your vehicle.

Step 6: Confirm in the portal

Log into the IturanMob admin portal and verify that the vehicle appears on the map with a green status indicator. See First login & account setup if you haven't set up your portal access yet.

Quick troubleshooting

LED doesn't light up after connecting?

• Confirm the Y-cable's male connector is firmly seated in the factory harness.
• Turn the ignition to "ON".

Location shows as wrong or not updating?

• GPS needs clear sky view. Drive the vehicle outside for a few minutes.
• Double-check the VIN: Did you install the device in the car listed on the VIN - IP Table?
