We bought a tk206 OBD and it does not report to Traccar. We are able to send it config commands, have it reply back that it is accepting and communicating. But, it does not appear on the Traccar platform. Anyone have any insight?

Hi,

First check your server port is open and not blocked.

If the port is open it could be you are using the wrong protocol. Please could you post your server log.

Thanks

OK. Port check was fine. I also tried to config a tk103A this weekend and that too, did not show up in traccar client.

You need to use port 5002 for your device.

I wanted to let all know we have our TK206 reporting now. Needed to use port 5002 and be sure that IMEI is shortened to 12 digits. Thanks for the support -

I've been using the new castel protocol. It works great except that the latitude and longitude signs are reversed.

position.setLatitude((flags & 0x01) == 0 ? lat : -lat);
position.setLongitude((flags & 0x02) == 0 ? lon : -lon);

I reversed sign on the statements above in the CastelProtocolDecoder file and it fixed it.

RyanHarris, do you have protocol documentation for your Castel device? According to the document that I have, it's implemented correctly.

No, I wish that I did have documentation, especially on the obd features. The sales rep at castel wasn't particularly helpful. I'll contact her again this week and let you know if I get anything.

I've created a GitHub issue to track this problem:
https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/issues/1281

Hi, I also have a TK206. I never received a user manual, Can you please assist with the commands needed to get it working? Many Thanks!

I've used the following to set my servers IP 803#<IP>#5002# and I've also setup the APN

Running a netstat on my server I can see the device is connected on port5002, My firewall etc is open

I needed to use 0 followed by the last 11 digits according to the logs

2015-07-02 18:31:37 WARN: Unknown device - 088000374067

I now receive the following?

2015-07-02 18:34:29 DEBUG: [294B6097: 5002 <- 41.13.254.49] - HEX: 28303838303030333734303637425230313135303730324a303065387c356630317c36353530317c3030303030303030303030393233303030303030303031303030303030304c303030303030303029

Its working now.

So for anyone that's having a similar issue these are the steps I followed for my Chinese "GPS306A TK206 OBD" Tracker

Text the following to your device:

803#<IP>#5002#

It will reply with.

Set IP OK IP:<IP>#5002#

Now text the following to set the APN

APN#<apnname>#

It will reply with.

SET APN OK!

Now add the device in Traccar

I had to use 0 followed by the last 11 digits of the imei no.

Check your error log to confirm eg:

2015-07-02 18:31:37 WARN: Unknown device - 088000374067

Once added you should see the following in your error logs.

2015-07-02 18:35:33 INFO: device: 5, time: Thu Jul 02 18:34:53 CAT 2015, lat: -**.940531666666665, lon: **8.423633333333335

Thanks for sharing the info.

Does anyone know if this TK207 is supported?

I'm waiting for communication protocol document, but in the meantime, I thought someone may have experience with it?

Also, if anyone knows, with OBD GPS devices, do you need extension cable or device can get signal where OBD plugin is?

Thank you

PS
@botcalls
I think you can close the issue on github now.
