Introduction

MyInstall allows Installers to verify device installations and report device removals. You can also learn about MyInstall by watching the How to Use MyInstall video.

If you are a Public Installer, use install.geotab.com to access MyInstall. You can access this page without credentials. If you are a Geotab Authorized Installer or Partner Installer, you can access MyInstall through MyAdmin or using the direct link myadmin.geotab.com/myinstall/services/.

✱ NOTE: The public version of MyInstall has limited options that only allow users to check the device installation status and enter vehicle information.

Prerequisites

To use MyInstall, you need:

A mobile device with a data plan;
Your MyInstall/MyAdmin login information (for Partner and Authorized Installers);
The telematics device serial number;

Before using MyInstall, make sure that all Geotab equipment is installed, including the telematics device, harness, and IOX cables. Turn the engine on and ensure that the telematics device's red and green LEDs are on.

If the installation used IOX-AUXM or IOX-ANALOG cables, all required internal and external vehicle telemetry points need to be connected and triggered.
