Covert GPS tracker installation: how it works when a professional does it

One way to monitor a vehicle is with a GPS tracker hidden inside it. Below we show you, step by step, what it looks like when a specialist fits the tracker for you.

There are several types of GPS trackers and several ways of connecting them – from the OBD diagnostic port and the cigarette lighter socket to devices wired directly into the vehicle's cables running from the fuse box.

A covert GPS tracker installation requires expertise and experience, so it is best left to a trained technician. A trained technician can assess the vehicle and find a suitable place for the tracker, make sure it is mounted firmly and securely, connect it to power and signal, and test that it works properly.

Possible places for a covert GPS tracker installation include:

- Under the bonnet or in the boot of the vehicle

- Inside the vehicle, under a seat, under the dashboard or in the ceiling light

Having a trained technician install a GPS tracker covertly has several advantages:

- It guarantees a professional, high-quality installation

- It increases the reliability and service life of the GPS tracker

- It reduces the risk of damage to or loss of the GPS tracker or the vehicle

- It prevents unwanted discovery or removal of the GPS tracker

- You can meet the technician at an agreed location or bring the vehicle to the technician

And here's how the whole process works with us:

First of all, everything is arranged with a sales representative, who will help you choose the right GPS tracker and subscription for your needs. They will also agree with you on how and when the installation will take place.

At the agreed time, the technician arrives with their own tools and all the necessary accessories, including a GPS tracker that has already been programmed and activated.

Depending on the type of vehicle and GPS tracker, they choose a suitable connection point. They then carefully remove the plastic covers from the fuse box, as well as the panels where the device itself will be placed.

The first step is to prepare the installation area, for example by removing the plastic covers around the fuse box.

The technician prepares cables long enough to run from the connection point to where the GPS tracker will be located. They join the cables firmly so that they cannot come apart and route them through the free spaces behind the vehicle's plastic trim. They then connect the GPS tracker and check in the system that it works and that all data is coming through.

The GPS tracker is fixed in the position where it gets the best signal. The exact location depends on the type of vehicle and how it is built.

When the job is done, the technician puts all the plastic parts back in place and clears away any offcuts and tools. The vehicle is then handed back to the driver.

Our technician can fit a basic GPS tracker within an hour. For an extended installation that includes driver identification or a private/business trip switch, fitting takes around two hours.
