Ford Ranger SmartTrack iMob Installation for Enhanced Vehicle Security
Ford Ranger SmartTrack iMob installation with hybrid GPS tracker and immobiliser
A 2020 Ford Ranger dropped in recently for a SmartTrack iMob installation—a hybrid GPS tracker and immobiliser system in one neat unit. This wasn’t your average plug-and-play job. If you know, you know. Getting it right meant getting deep into the vehicle’s wiring, ensuring the tracker and immobiliser worked in perfect harmony without interfering with the Ranger’s complex electronics.
Ever had a job that looks simple on the surface, but turns out to be a wiring jungle underneath? That’s exactly what this Ford Ranger SmartTrack iMob installation was like. The system combines vehicle immobilisation and live GPS tracking with app-based control—great for security, but not something you want wired up by guesswork.
What We Did
This hybrid install required precise integration of the SmartTrack iMob unit into the Ranger’s electrical system. That meant stripping back panels, routing cables through factory grommets, and verifying signals with diagnostic tools. We ran a full diagnostic scan before and after the install to ensure there were no CAN conflicts or faults triggered in the process.

Why This Matters
With vehicle theft on the rise, especially for high-target models like the Ford Ranger, combining a GPS tracker and immobiliser gives owners a serious upper hand. The SmartTrack iMob system adds a layer of real-time control that you just don’t get from factory immobilisers or standard tracking units. You can immobilise the truck remotely via the app, and if it moves without your consent—you’ll know.
Smart Install, Secure Result
The system doesn’t just bolt on. It needs to be integrated with care. Incorrect wiring can cause modules to misbehave or systems to throw faults. That’s why this isn’t a weekend DIY job. We made sure every connection was secure, protected, and programmed to work seamlessly with the Ranger’s onboard systems.
Relax While We Work
Jobs like this take time—not because we’re slow, but because we’re thorough. While the Ranger was on our ramps, the owner chilled in our waiting area with a fresh coffee and Wi-Fi. We’ve got a comfy lounge, smart TV, and even a viewing window into the workshop if you like watching the magic happen. Most security system installs take around 2–3 hours, so there’s time to relax or fire off a few emails if needed.
We Go Deeper Than Dealerships
Unlike dealers who follow rigid test plans, we dig into real diagnostics. Whether it’s coding, firmware updates, or custom installs like this one, our workshop is equipped with tools like ODIS, VCP, and VCDS to get the job done right—and keep your vehicle’s systems fault free. Our team specialises in complex installs that need more than just a basic plug-in.
