Accessing MyInstall

There are two ways to access MyInstall:

  1. Public Installers: Use install.geotab.com. No login is required.
  2. Geotab Authorized Installer, Partner Installer, or users who want to access the full installation experience: Access MyInstall through MyAdmin or use 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. To access the complete set of features and benefits offered by MyInstall ( such as IOX configuration), we recommend using the full version.

NOTE: If you wish to become a Geotab Authorized Installer, visit the Become an installer page.

Prerequisites

To use MyInstall, you need:

  1. A browser with internet connection
  2. Your MyInstall/MyAdmin login information (for Partner and Authorized Installers)
  3. The telematics device serial number
  4. The asset information (name, license plate, VIN, make, model, year)
  5. The work order information (for Authorized Installers performing a job for Geotab)

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.

NOTE: Telemetry triggering must be done within two minutes of hearing six beeps from the telematics device.

MyInstall Menu

On the menu of the full version of MyInstall, you can:

  1. Verify an Installation: Perform installation services
  2. Work Orders: Review available work orders (for Geotab Authorized Installers)
  3. Installation Report: Run installation reports
  4. Access Installation Guides
