Install gping.io on your device & hide it somewhere in your vehicle -- anywhere you can power it! Some vehicles have additional cigarette lighter 'power ports' and even USB ports in various places. Be creative!
Monitor your vehicle from your web browser! Upon launch, gping.io will show you your distinctly private-but-shareable monitoring URL.

Usage Tips
gping.io is designed to automatically start at boot (along with GPS, OBD, and Network services)
In Wireless, Disable WiFi. Parking your car too close to a WiFi signal may cause the signal to flap between WiFi and network data. Disable WiFi to increase reliability.
In Location & Privacy, enable both GPS satellites and Network location ("Use wireless networks").
Enable Bluetooth if using an OBD adapter, disable bluetooth if not.
