Risky · Germany, Switzerland already cut 2G. France, Spain, Italy still have 2G until 2026-2030 windows. For new installs in Europe, jump to FMC003 (Cat-M1). For West Africa, FMB001 still has years left.
Reads OBD-II PIDs only (speed, RPM, fuel level, DTCs · if vehicle exposes them). True CAN tap requires wired devices (FMB125, FMC125).

Codec 8 + GPRS settings are read and written from the same screen. There is no end-user mobile app · Teltonika devices report to a platform, the platform (Traxelio, Wialon, Navixy, etc.) provides the user app.
