Step 1: Enter the IMEI

Begin by entering your device’s IMEI number.

  • You can scan it using your phone’s camera, or

  • Enter it manually

Once the IMEI is submitted, the app will recognize it as a ShadowTrack (Non-OBD) device and take you to the next step.


Step 2: Customize Your Device View

After detection, you’ll be directed to a screen where you can:

  • Select an icon or

  • Upload a custom image to represent the device on your dashboard

Once you’ve set this up, you’ll automatically proceed to the subscription setup.


Step 3: Choose Your Subscription

The Subscription Setup flow is the same as ShadowAuto:

  • Choose a plan that suits your needs

  • Add your payment method to continue

If your ShadowTrack device comes with a preloaded plan or trial, your card will not be charged until that period ends.


Step 4: Set Your Preferences

Next, you’ll land on the Preferences screen where you can:

  • Customize themse and units.

  • Tailor your experience to your tracking needs


Final Step: Activate the Device

Once setup is complete, it’s time to activate tracking:

  • Take the device outside and go for a short drive or walk

  • This allows the ShadowTrack device to lock onto GPS and begin transmitting data
