The “Offline” Scare – Don’t Panic Yet

You open your app to check your car’s location… but the tracker shows offline. Panic sets in. Has it stopped working? Is your car in danger?

Relax — it’s usually a simple issue that can be fixed in minutes.
Let’s break down why car trackers go offline and how you can restore them easily.

 Power Disconnection

The most common reason is loss of power. Trackers rely on your car battery to stay on. If someone disconnects it — maybe during maintenance or accidentally — it’ll go offline.

 Fix:
Check your battery connection or contact AutoSecure for reinstallation support. Our devices have internal backup batteries that keep working for hours after power loss, and they’ll alert you once power is restored.

Weak Network Signal

Trackers send data using SIM cards and mobile networks. If your car is parked in an underground garage or an area with weak signal, it might temporarily go offline.

 Fix:
Move the car to an open area. The system will automatically reconnect once network strength returns.

Expired Data Subscription

Just like your phone, your tracker’s SIM needs data to communicate. If the subscription expires, it can’t transmit location updates.

 Fix:
Renew your subscription with AutoSecure or your service provider. Our support team can monitor your account to ensure your data plan never runs out.

Software or App Update

Sometimes, your app may need a quick update to sync with the system.

 Fix:
Log out, update the app, and log back in. This often refreshes connectivity immediately.

Temporary GPS Drift

GPS signals can occasionally fluctuate due to heavy rain, tall buildings, or tunnels. Your tracker may show wrong coordinates or go “offline” for a few minutes.

 Fix:
Wait a few moments; the system will correct itself. AutoSecure’s devices are designed to auto-calibrate once signals stabilize.

Bonus Tip: Stay Notified

Enable “device offline” alerts in your AutoSecure app. This way, you’ll know immediately when your tracker stops reporting and can act fast.
