Getting started - adding your first vehicle

Create an account and add your first tracked vehicle in a couple of minutes.


1. Create your account

Go to tracker.6xcom.com and sign up with your name, email, and password. You're taken straight to your dashboard - no approval wait.

2. Add your vehicle

From the Vehicles page, click "Add Vehicle" and enter:

  • A label (e.g. "Delivery Van 1")
  • Optional plate number, make, model, and year
  • Your tracker's device ID - this is the IMEI or serial number your physical GPS tracker reports
  • Optionally, a driver name and phone number - see below

Your vehicle is created with a 14-day free trial automatically - no payment needed to start seeing it on the map.

Assigning a driver to a vehicle

If a specific person usually drives this vehicle, add their name and phone number when you create or edit it. This ties alerts to a real person - their name shows next to the vehicle on your list and on the live map, and if you turn on text alerts for a rule, they get texted directly too (in their own wording, separate from your own notification). This is just a name and number - it doesn't create a login for them.

3. Confirm it's reporting

Once your tracker sends its first position, your vehicle shows up live on the Map page. If it doesn't appear after a while, check your tracker's own configuration - it needs to be set to report to our server.
