VIN number with OBD-2 device

Darkking a day ago

Hi,

I have an OBD-2 GPS device which was showing VIn number of the vehicle previously. But now It is not showing the VIN number. Please help me here to obtain the VIN.

I have attached the screenshot of the previously shown VIN.

What makes you think it's a server issue? Have you verified that your device is reporting it? Logs?

Every position record only contains what the GPS tracker sent in that record. If the GPS tracker does not send it in every record, it will only appear once.

You have two choices here:

  1. Configure your GPS tracker to send the VIN in every record. This will depend on the GPS tracker manufacturer. I know how to do it with Teltonika but not other brands.
  2. Use the processing.copyAttributes configuration setting in the traccar.xml file and add VIN to that. This way, the VIN will always report what it was the last time it changed. If it ever does get sent again by the tracker, the value will update.
