I purchased one a few weeks ago. I tried it for three days in my own car in the gas filler lid and on the dash. No difference. It logged fine. I then put it in a truck under the dash on the side firewall. It did a good job, fairly accurate with in a few yards.
A few quircks though. Motion detection may be too sensitive so it records the slightest vibration even the wind on the car in a parking lot over the weekend. This causes some wasted battery life. The software maps and (trip reports formatted wierd as far as sequence of information) could be improved. Can’t zoom in enough for accurate movement on location details. Also logged one day of max speed of 96mph. The truck it was in only goes 60 at best downhill with a tail wind and it is governed. I can’t get it to merge with google earth to watch the track play on 3 d maps etc. I’ll keep trying. The car image is like a little nervous shaky ant or bee running around on the map. One segment showed a long line across several blocks diagonally that was as the crow flies instead on on the roads. And it stacks the stop point labels on top of each other so you can’t read the bottom stops labels (tags) times if close together such as in a neighborhood. Sounds crappy doesn’t it. Over all, it is a good and useful deal for $168.00 The software map program needs some work but it’s not bad unless you need real accuracy details.

The system does not track/record that well at all..I was very disappointed…Customer service is also poor… It is far better to save and purchase a real-time system…

Great way to keep track of you car when the kids borrow it.

They know its right there on the dashboard. While I can’t see what they do when they are driving the family car, I can see what they did, (speeding, not where they said they were going, ignoring stop signs) It reports the speed, direction, time.

Every parent should have one in their car.

I think that your reviews are bought and paid for. I purchased one of the devices to test after reading your review. It did not work in the glove box, it did not work inside the trunk.

Just purchased a Tracking Key and received today. I have put it on the vehicle I am monitoring… stay tuned and I will give everyone an update on how well it worked.

BTW, I installed mine in the rear light housing of the vehicle which I accessed easily from the trunk.

Just FYI Tracking Key has no hidden monthly fees because its is not a REAL-TIME tracking System. It cannot however, be used as a child tracking device.

When considering the purchase of a tracking device, do your homework because not all GPS systems are alike. Aside from features such as Geofencing, speed-alerts and so on, the one thing you really need to look into is the COST. Most GPS devices I’ve looked into have HIDDEN costs such as monthly/annual renewal fees or charge you per track ontop of the purchase price. When I called Best-Buy to get more info on the “Little Buddy” they couldn’t even tell what the OTHER costs of thier system were.
