Getting Started with your Zubie Wired Asset Trak is simple
View our video guide at the bottom of this page or follow these instructions. For fastest setup, use the Zubie mobile app. The desktop interface does not include the new QR scan or VIN-validation options.
Create your new asset or vehicle in the Zubie app, and connect it to your Asset Trak Device
Log into the Zubie mobile app or app.zubie.com on your mobile browser.
Use your mobile device’s camera or tap the QR scan icon in the top navigation bar to scan the Asset Trak QR code. The app now recognizes different QR types automatically and opens the correct setup flow.
Click the + button to create a new asset or vehicle. Then click “Create & Connect”. When creating a new vehicle record for your Asset Trak, you can now scan or enter the vehicle’s VIN. The app will validate it automatically and prompt for corrections if needed.
Install the device on your vehicle’s battery.
Locate the vehicle battery, and carefully loosen the nuts located on the top of the battery. You’ll see that one is labeled Positive (red) and the other is Negative (black).
Insert the device’s Positive (red wire) connector between the bolt and the battery so that it is touching the shredded shaft of the positive electrode.
Do the same with the Negative (black wire) connector on the negative electrode.
Tighten both nuts back onto the battery so that both ends of the Asset Trak wires are clamped securely to the vehicle’s battery.
Look for the light on the device to turn on. This indicates the Asset Trak is getting power and can function correctly.
Adhere the device in place
Clean the surface of the battery and the Asset Trak.
Use the double-sided tape to secure the Asset Trak onto the top of the battery. Be sure the arrow on the device is facing the direction in which the vehicle will travel.
Start getting data from your device
Log into the Zubie mobile app or app.zubie.com on your mobile browser.
Check that your new asset or vehicle is visible on the Live Map.
Common Troubleshooting
If your asset or vehicle isn’t appearing on the Live Map, you may not have sufficient cell or GPS coverage. Be sure the asset is in a location with strong cell service and a clear view of the sky, even if it’s through a window.
If you are still having trouble, review our FAQ page or reach out to Zubie customer support with the device serial number.
Be careful to avoid positioning your Asset Trak under things that could cause interference or block the device’s cellular or GPS signal.
If scanning the QR code does not open the pairing screen, ensure you’re using the latest Zubie app version (October 2025 or later). Older versions do not support the new multi-type QR logic.
