"Compared to similar OBD-port GPS car trackers, Bouncie falls in the middle range when it comes to price. It strikes a good balance between its competitors with a slightly higher initial device cost but no activation fee, a low monthly subscription fee, and no long-term contracts.Sep 18, 2020"


Nevermind - it uses the OBDII port. I think I will need to look more into a Spy on your Spouse version than a Fleet-Management GPS solution.
It does use the OBDII port. You bring up some good points. I know that my friend I got this from used it to keep track of a few cars he rented out on Turo. Since this was a recent gift I haven't really looked into it or other GPS options. I keep my scangauge plugged in while I drive and would probably just swap the 2 when I'm not driving. From my very limited knowledge on the different options it seems like there are trade offs on how/where they install & no doubt the OBDII ones will be easier to install & remove which would defeat the purpose if the primary objective was to be discrete.
