What it is
The MA2105 is a compact hardwired real-time GPS tracker. Wired into the vehicle's 12–24 V system, it reports live location and ignition status, and its six-wire harness adds an ignition-sense input, two outputs, and an input for extras like starter-disable. An internal battery keeps it reporting if main power is cut.

How it operates
From location fix to live dashboard, here is what happens behind the scenes.
Draw power from the vehicle
Red wire to 12–24 V power, black to ground, for always-on tracking.
Sense ignition
The white ignition-sense wire detects engine on/off — and is required for real-time updates.
Report by state
With the engine ON it updates every 1–2 minutes; with the engine OFF, every 2 hours.
Stream to the platform
Sends data over 4G LTE; the yellow Cell LED and green GPS LED show status.
Where to place it
Install under the dash, as high up toward the windshield as possible, and never fully enclosed by metal.
Good placement
- +Mount under the dash, high toward the windshield
- +Keep a clear path to the sky for GPS
- +Connect the white ignition-sense wire for real-time updates
Avoid
- −Not under the hood
- −Not fully enclosed in metal
- −Don't leave the ignition wire disconnected — updates drop to once every 2 hours
Installation
Most installs take just a few minutes. Here is the process step by step.
Find a hidden spot
Under the dash, as high toward the windshield as possible and not enclosed by metal.
Connect the wires
Red 12–24 V power, black ground, white ignition-sense; green/blue outputs and yellow input as needed.
Enable the battery
Slide the cover to the ON/OFF switch and turn the internal battery ON.
Confirm live
Start the engine; once the yellow Cell LED blinks every 3 s, verify location on your dashboard.
Don't install under the hood — the device won't work well, or at all. Traveling outside the US? Contact support to enable international roaming before you leave.
