- Crash detection, overspeed, idle and towing alerts
- Doubles as the gateway Tool Tags check in through
Hardwired GPS
Wired in.
Wired in.
Out of sight.
Three hardwired models on one platform: the compact everyday 13A, the concealable 68 with remote starter disable, and the IP66-rated 28 for equipment that lives outdoors.

Backup battery on the largest variant
-30°C
Rated operating floor
Professionally installed
Fitted once, then invisible.
An installer wires it to vehicle power on your schedule. From then on it is powered by the vehicle, hidden from the cab, and reporting every day without anyone touching it.
- Internal or external antenna options to suit the body
- Tamper monitoring on external antennas
- Power loss is itself an event in your dashboard
Wired into the vehicle
Inputs and outputs for the way you actually work.
Hardwiring buys you more than concealment. Doors, PTO, temperature probes and driver ID all become part of the record.
- Up to 5 digital inputs and 3 relay outputs
- 1-Wire interface for driver ID and temperature sensing
- Triple-axis accelerometer for behavior and impact

Start with the one sentence that decides it.
Each of these is a different device, not a trim level. Pick the line below that sounds like your fleet.
IQ-WIRED-68
Slim, concealable tracking with starter disable
The device needs to stay hidden, or the vehicle needs to stop.
- Slim and concealable, two-wire install
- Remote starter disable for recovery and lease enforcement
- Odometer and engine-hour monitoring
IQ-WIRED-28
Rugged tracking for equipment and trailers
It lives outdoors and it isn't really a vehicle.
- IP66 against dust, rain and constant vibration
- Hardwired engine run-time for service on real hours
- Digital I/O for generators, pumps and door sensors

How the three models differ
One platform and one dashboard. What changes is where the device can go, what it survives, and what it can read off the asset it is wired into.

Common questions
Asked about IQ-Wired.
Why choose IQ-Wired over a plug-in tracker?
Two reasons: the vehicle has no accessible OBD port, or you want the device out of sight and harder to remove.
Who does the installation?
A professional installer wires it in, scheduled around your operation so the vehicle is off the road for as little time as possible.
Will it work on older vehicles and equipment?
Yes. Because it wires directly to power rather than the OBD port, it suits older vehicles, trailers with power, and equipment.
Can a driver disconnect it?
It is hidden and hardwired, so it is far harder to remove than a plug-in unit. If power is cut, that itself shows up in your dashboard.
Is there a contract?
No. Every AirIQ subscription is month-to-month, with no auto-renewal and no early-termination fee. Cancel by calling 1-888-606-6444.
