30 September 2026

Installing Your MagTrack+ Is Simple

The AGL MagTrack+ is designed for quick installation without hardwiring. Before fitting the device, it needs to be switched on and fitted securely in a discreet location where it can maintain a reliable location fix.

2. Choose a Suitable Location


Choose a discreet location for the MagTrack+ where it can be securely fitted and accessed for future charging. Avoid fully enclosing or surrounding the device with metal, as this can affect its ability to obtain a reliable location fix.

3. Secure the MagTrack+


Use the built-in magnets to attach the MagTrack+ to a suitable metal surface. For non-metal surfaces, secure the supplied metal plate first and attach the device to it.

4. Set Up the MagTrack App


Download the MagTrack app, enable the required alerts and notifications, change the temporary password and add the vehicle or asset details. You can then select the appropriate operating mode.

Your MagTrack+ Is Ready to Use


Once installed and configured, the MagTrack+ can be used to monitor your vehicle or asset. The app also provides movement and low-battery alerts, with different operating modes available depending on how the device is being used.
