Please reach out to our support team to request an analysis of the missing vehicle model.
Can I configure vehicles as another model from the same manufacturer if the exact model is missing?⚓︎
No, you should not configure vehicles as anything other than their exact model. Instead, reach out to our support team to request an analysis.

Verify that you have the required permissions to access telematics units and vehicles. If not, ask your fleet’s admin to grant you the required permissions.

Testing⚓︎

Inspect⚓︎
What if I cannot find a vehicle using the search bar?⚓︎
First, make sure you use the search bar on the home screen and not one of the search bars in the submenus. If you still cannot find the vehicle, try searching for the telematics unit ID, license plate, or VIN. Note that the latter two are only available for fully configured vehicles. If you are still unable to find the vehicle, verify that you have been granted the required permissions to access the vehicle and get in touch with our support team.
