Teltonika FMB003

Teltonika FMB003 — Ultra-Small Plug and Play OBD-II GPS Tracker with OEM Data Reading

The Teltonika FMB003 is Teltonika's most advanced plug-and-play OBD-II tracker, and a step above the FMB001. Its standout feature is the ability to read genuine OEM vehicle parameters directly from the vehicle's onboard computer — including real odometer readings and real fuel level data, not just estimates. It comes with a supported vehicles and compatible data list so you know exactly what data will be available for each vehicle before you deploy. Simply plug it into the OBD-II port, and the FMB003 starts tracking and reading vehicle data immediately — no wiring, no engineer required.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FMB003 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the FMB003 and the FMB001?

The key difference is OEM data reading. The FMB003 can read genuine real odometer and real fuel level data directly from the vehicle's onboard computer using OEM parameters. The FMB001 reads standard OBD-II parameters which may not always match the vehicle's actual dashboard readings. If accurate fuel and mileage data matters for your application, the FMB003 is the better choice.

Does the FMB003 work with all vehicles?

The FMB003 works with vehicles that have a standard OBD-II port — mandatory on all petrol cars sold in the UK after 2001 and diesel cars after 2004. OEM parameter reading is vehicle-dependent. Teltonika provides a supported vehicles and data list so you can confirm compatibility before deployment.

What OEM data can the FMB003 read?

The FMB003 can read real odometer readings, real fuel level, engine RPM, engine load, throttle position, short-term fuel trim and other OEM parameters depending on vehicle compatibility. The exact data available varies by make and model.

Does the FMB003 need a SIM card?

Yes — the FMB003 requires a micro SIM card to transmit data over the GSM network. It is not supplied with a SIM. Contact us if you need SIM card recommendations for UK deployments.

Is the FMB003 compatible with a Bluetooth driver identification keypad?

Yes — the FMB003 supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is compatible with Teltonika's BLE driver identification keypads. Drivers enter their PIN or present their card on the keypad at the start of each trip, and the driver ID is logged alongside all journey and OBD data. This makes the FMB003 an excellent choice for driver logbook and fleet accountability applications without the need for wired iButton systems.
