Spireon, a vehicle intelligence company, announced the launch of a new wireless version of GoldStar , the company’s award-winning vehicle tracking and collateral management solution for buy-here, pay-here dealers and auto lenders. The first wireless device for the top-rated GPS provider, the new GoldStar Wireless hardware can be self-installed and activated within minutes to facilitate crucial data collection, monitor default predictions, locate on demand, and, when necessary, streamline quick asset recoveries.

With no hardwires or tools required for set up, GoldStar Wireless enables reliable reporting without the need for skilled technicians, streamlining vehicle onboarding and improving accuracy. An IP67 rating means the device is protected against accidental environmental exposures to water and dust for greater flexibility in installation locations.

“Hardwire installations require skill and incur costs,” said Brian Skutta, president of Spireon Automotive. “Now, auto dealers and lenders that need simple monitoring and quick recoveries can tap into the ease of installation GoldStar Wireless offers.”

• Quick Track: GoldStar Wireless is the first solution in the industry to use extended stops to automatically capture where a driver lives and works within the first 14 days of installation for automated validation of loan stipulations. GoldStar’s patented Reference Geni technology makes the distinction between typical and extended stops to create an accurate location profile for drivers, providing lenders with stronger risk mitigation.
• Daily Track: Two weeks after installation, the device switches from the Quick Track mode to Daily Track, eliminating the time and labor associated with swapping modes to preserve battery life. Daily Track continuously validates the work and home addresses reported by Quick Track and verifies the health of the tracker.
• Recovery Track: If necessary, customers can locate the vehicle on demand and also deploy Recovery Track to identify the real-time location of a vehicle.
