Does the device collect diagnostics?

Yes, it has the ability to collect various diagnostic values if provided from the vehicle; however, data is not guaranteed.

How is the device installed? What installation steps are taken to conceal the device or prevent tampering?

The customer has the option of installing the device two ways:
​
– Plug the device directly into the diagnostic port
– Utilize a pass-thru cable that allows the diagnostic port to remain open to third-party devices and allows for the concealment and tamper prevention of the device. This is detailed within our installation guide.

Can the XT25 be installed using a hardwired installation method?

Yes, through the use of the XT25 OBDII to Hardwired Harness, a user can wire ignition, constant, and ground as they would any other hardwire install. The device will then revert to direct ignition power and/or motion to report movement/trips data. Refer to the XT25 Conventional Hardwire installation guide for instructions.

– AT&T 4G/LTE (CAT-M) with 3G fallback: Coverage includes North America (USA, Canada, & Mexico)
– Verizon 4G/LTE (CAT-M): Coverage includes USA & Canada.

What is the average power draw?

With ignition on and device actively reporting = ~75-80mA
With ignition off, device awake = ~60mA
With ignition off, device asleep* = ~2-5mA

Can specific data collected by the device (e.g., DTCs) be prioritized over other types of data collected by the device in case of low connection?

No, not at this time.
​
In the instance that the device is unable to connect or maintains low cellular connectivity the device will store all data and send once connection strength has been restored.

How many points are stored by the device in case cellular/satellite connection is lost?

2000

Is there an option for switching from cellular to satellite-based on connectivity availability? (e.g., If a device operating on cellular connectivity enters an area where cellular is unavailable, will the device automatically switch to operating on satellite connectivity to keep data transmitting in real-time?)

No, there’s currently no similar option for this device type.

Describe the device’s encryption technology.

There’s currently no encryption technology used for this device by default.

What are the available ping rates for the device?

1 minute is default, with heading change; an option for 30s updates is possible through Fleet24 pricing.

Is it IP rated?

No.

How much actual data memory does the device contain?

512kB (-8kB (for overhead)) for event data

Are the status LEDs different?

LED 1: Off = Power-on default
LED 1: Solid blue = BLE connected only
LED 1: Solid red = Ignition on only
LED 1: Solid purple= BLE connected and ignition on
​
LED 2: Off = Power-on default
LED 2: Off = GSM disabled
LED 2: Fast blink yellow = GSM enabled, no registration
LED 2: Solid yellow = GSM enabled, registered
​
LED 3: Off = Power-on default
LED 3: Off = GPS disabled
LED 3: Slow blink green = GPS enabled, no lock
LED 3: Solid green = GPS enabled locked

Question

Answer

Does the XT25 support Driver ID?

Yes, using a wired fob and reader solution paired with the XT25 I/O Extender, the device is capable of supporting Driver ID.

How does a customer install the XT25 Driver ID?

Customers can follow the installation instructions here: Accessory: XT25 Driver ID.

Does the XT25 support Bluetooth Fob Driver ID?

No, not at this time.

Why is my device making noise when I start my vehicle?

If your XT25 starts beeping after the ignition is turned on, it is likely reminding the driver to scan their Driver ID fob on the reader. This ensures the driver is correctly assigned to the vehicle for the trip.
