# Which PosiTrace device do I need for ELD operation?

The **PosiTracker | G87** is our current, certified ELD device, to be used alongside the Apollo ELD application.

Please contact your account manager if you need to purchase a new unit, or replace an existing unit, that is compatible with ELD operation.

Please note the **PosiTracker | G87** is a plug-and-play device that is compatible with the following ports:

- Native support: 
    - **OBD-II**  
      *an OBD port splitter is available as an optional add-on*

- Adapters available: 
    - **JBUS 6-pin**  
      *This is the oldest port technology in Semi Trucks*

- - **JBUS 9-pin** (Type 1 or 2)  
      *The most common kind of connectors. Our adapter is a Type 2 Green which is backward-compatible with Type 1 Black ports as well.*
    - **RP1226**  
      *The newest port technology. Many semi-trucks 2019 and later will have an RP1226 port. If your vehicle has both a JBUS and RP1226 port, you should always use RP1226.* 
          - Please consult your vehicle's technical manual or distributor to determine the location of your RP1226 port, as the location varies widely.
