Where are GPS trackers usually installed in the car?

When placing a GPS tracker on a vehicle or item, it is crucial to choose the best location to ensure that the signal strength is good enough and that the tracker is hidden and safe. Here are some common and best GPS tracker placement locations:

There are 8 locations for GPS installation:

1. Inside the front and rear bumpers: This location is the most common place to place it, because it is very hidden and most people will not notice it, and it is safe enough. And the bumper is a concave and convex shape, and GPS is very suitable for installation in the groove.

2. In the trunk: The trunk of the car is very large, and there are many locations where it can be installed. Basically, a blanket is laid in the trunk, and the blanket is enough to block the GPS and prevent it from being discovered. There is another location, which is next to the taillights near the trunk. Most people will not care about this location. In addition, the satellite signal in the trunk is relatively smooth and will not affect the positioning effect.

3. In the decorative panel below the front windshield: If placed in this position, it is impossible to be discovered unless the front cover is removed.

4. Inside the spare tire: It is also very hidden, but there is a disadvantage, that is, this placement method is generally only applicable to the spare tire hanging at the rear of the car, not the spare tire in the trunk. Because there are many iron layers between the trunk + spare tire + spare tire iron box, it will have a great impact on the signal of the vehicle locator.

5. If it is wired, it is generally installed on the center console, A-pillar and under the steering wheel.

6. Inside the instrument panel: It is relatively hidden to install it in this position. As long as the instrument panel is not removed or internal repairs are made, it is difficult to find it.

7. The position of the roof antenna, the signal at this position will not be interfered with too much.

8. Installed in the seat

and the rearview mirror is also because it is not easy to be discovered by others.

Key factors:

Signal strength: The GPS tracker needs to receive satellite signals, so it should be avoided to place it in a fully metal enclosed space. Plastic or glass covers will not hinder the signal.

Concealment: Ensure that the tracker is not easy to be found, especially in anti-theft applications.

Power supply: If the tracker needs long-term power supply, consider the convenience of using the vehicle power supply or regularly replacing the battery.

The functions of the GPS in the car are:

1. Vehicle positioning;

2. Historical track;

3. Safety management;

4. Vehicle utilization statistics;

5. Car lock function;

6. Vehicle anti-theft;

7. Command and dispatch.

The GPS positioning system is based on the GSM and GPRS networks and the GPS satellite positioning system, and locates or monitors remote vehicles through SMS or other means. It has mileage statistics, ACC detection function, and power failure alarm function.
