Queclink GV500CG — Ultra-Compact LTE Cat 1 OBD Tracker for Insurance Telematics and Connected Car Services

The Queclink GV500CG is Queclink's latest generation compact OBD tracker — one of the smallest LTE Cat 1 OBD devices available on the market. Launched in 2024, the GV500CG is designed to plug seamlessly into the OBD-II port of any vehicle without drawing attention or creating installation complications, making it a highly versatile solution for insurance telematics, connected car services, fleet management and covert stolen vehicle recovery.

Despite its minimal size, the GV500CG delivers a comprehensive telematics feature set — crash detection, harsh driving behaviour monitoring, mileage recording and BLE connectivity for wireless accessory support. Supporting a wide voltage range of 8V to 32V DC, it installs directly onto both 12V and 24V vehicles, covering light cars, vans and commercial vehicles in a single device variant.

As an authorised Queclink distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GV500CG directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for insurance providers, telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.
