OEM Selection
For customers with OEM-equipped vehicles, you can add your vehicles to the GPS Fleet Tracking Portal using the same process outlined above, with a few differences.
Note: The OEM integration is powered by CerebrumX.
Adding an OEM-Equipped Vehicle
Before adding a vehicle, you must be on the OEM Plan or OEM EV Plan for electric vehicles. Plans are enabled through a contract and must be activated prior to being able to add vehicles in the Portal. Contact your Account Manager if you are interested in adding OEM-equipped vehicles to your account.
Sign the contract with your Account Manager for the number of OEM licenses you need.
For each OEM manufacturer you want to connect (for example, Ford, GM, etc.), we’ll initiate a consent request on your behalf through CerebrumX.
Once consent is initiated, we’ll add the corresponding OEM license slots (also called virtual devices) to your GPS Fleet Tracking account.
Follow the instructions outlined above to add the OEM-equipped vehicle; however, in Step #3, when using the drop-down to select the Device Serial Number, the available OEM devices have device serial numbers beginning with OEM and ending with (OEM).
Note: The following items are required to add OEM-equipped vehicles: Contract for the specific number of licenses required is signed, manufacturer consent is approved, and the vehicle VIN is eligible for OEM data.
Data should be available within 24 hours after manufacturer consent, and eligibility is confirmed.
