Getting Started with IOX-KEYBOX

Product Overview

What is the IOX-KEYBOX?

A smart enclosure that connects directly with the GO device — enabling secure, trackable fleet access without duplicate keys. The vehicle itself acts as a Faraday cage, blocking relay attacks and signal spoofing by design.

Connects Simply with Your GO Device

Plugs into your Geotab GO device via the included IOX harness. Access events log automatically in MyGeotab.

Self-Install or Professional Mounting

Mount the box yourself or have it professionally installed. Place it in the glove box, under the seat, or even hide it behind the dashboard.

Fast Installation, No Key Destruction

Your key fob stays intact and unmodified. Internal levers press the buttons mechanically — fully reversible, no signal spoofing.

Highest Reliability, Automotive Standards

Co-developed with WITTE Automotive, Germany — built to automotive-grade standards for demanding fleet environments.

How to Get Started

From Order to First Access

Four steps from selecting your variant to granting your first driver access.

01

Select Your Variant

Identify your vehicle's key fob. The shape of the key and the lock/unlock button positions are what matter. Match them in the Catalog — or submit by Make/Model/Year.

Go to Key Selection

02

Install & Wire

Self-install or have it professionally mounted. All wiring is included — connect to the GO device via the IOX harness and bracket-mount in the cabin.

Installation Guide

03

Auto-Configuration

Once connected to the GO device, the Keybox pairs automatically. No manual configuration needed — it's ready in your MyGeotab portal.

04

Assign a Driver in MyGeotab

Assign a driver to the vehicle in MyGeotab. Once authorized, the Keybox unlocks the drawer, activates the fob, and logs every access event automatically.

Vehicle Install & Usage

Two Ways to Use the IOX-KEYBOX

Choose the flow that fits your operation — physical key access for your drivers, or a fully digital hands-free journey.

Flow A

Provide Keys to Your Drivers

Drivers take the key fob physically for their drive and return it after. The box validates the return.

1

Insert the key fob

The box arrives unlocked. Open the drawer, place the key fob in the molded tray, and close.

2

Driver takes & returns the key

The driver takes the key for the drive and drops it back into the box after. Done.

Take key fob out

Insert key fobbuttons up

ℹ️ Info

Use an NFC sticker on the key fob to confirm key return. The GO device will additionally validate the lock state of the vehicle.

Flow B

Fully Digital Journey

The key fob stays in the box permanently. Drivers never touch the key — access is granted and revoked digitally.

1

Insert the key fob, assemble the power adapter (KPC)

Place the key fob in the tray and install the Key Power Control adapter (if available for your fob type).

2

Box stays locked — always

The drawer remains locked at all times. Only authorized staff can access the key fob physically. Drivers interact with the vehicle digitally only.

ℹ️ Info

The KPC adapter de-powers the key fob whenever the vehicle is locked — preventing any unauthorized push-to-start use.

The Core Principle

Each Keybox variant has a custom-molded tray and actuating levers designed for a specific key fob shape. The levers must align with your fob's lock and unlock buttons. Focus on the fob shape and button positions when browsing the catalog.

Different fobs use different button layouts. The catalog shows reference photos for each variant — compare the Lock and Unlock positions on your fob to find the right match.

Not sure which variant? Submit by Make / Model / Year

Can't match your fob to a photo? Submit your vehicle list (Make, Model, Year) via the form at the top of the Geotab Keybox Catalog. The team — supported by WITTE:digital, Geotab's co-development partner — will determine the right variant for you.
