Car GPS Tracker Installation Location

It is nothing new to install GPS locators in cars. Whether it is a private car, a mortgage car, a rental car or a fleet management, there will always be one or two GPS locators in the car. For private car owners, the locator can facilitate car owners to actively understand some information about the car, such as: real-time location, speed, direction, historical driving track, mileage... It also plays a role in car anti-theft; For example, when the vehicle is mortgaged/leased out, the real-time control of the dynamic information of the car by the bank car rental bank is very necessary to avoid and reduce losses; not to mention the fleet management, the enterprise management personnel can monitor the running status of each vehicle visually, which can effectively Improve vehicle efficiency and optimize resource allocation.

All, installing a GPS tracker in the car has a specific role. So, how to install the GPS locator? This is also important, not only to prevent the signal from being blocked and not received, but also to be highly concealed to prevent it from being removed. If it is an electric car or motorcycle, it can be installed in the rear parking light and in the front of the car. When installing, pay attention to plug the GPS locator in, so that it cannot be seen as soon as the cover is opened.

If it is a car, there are more optional positions, such as: rear trunk, under the steering wheel, under the front and rear windshields, front and rear bumpers, roof lights, rearview mirrors, inside the seat, door side panels, etc.

1）Installation method of wired GPS tracker

1.For some GPS locators with simple wiring, such as the locator with only one black and one red wire, if you know some circuit knowledge, you can install it yourself.

2.Find the positive and negative poles of the car power supply, if the negative pole is the negative pole as long as the body has iron, find the positive pole in the fuse box, find it near the car key switch or connect it directly to the battery; the wireless GPS locator can be placed in the car hidden location.

3.It is best to connect to the normal power supply, that is, the power cord directly drawn from the positive pole of the car battery that is not affected by the car key switch.

2）Installation method of wireless GPS locator

The wireless GPS locator is a very easy to hide locator, because it does not need wiring, it can be installed anywhere on the car as long as the environment is good and does not affect its reception of signals, and the installation method is very simple. Some GPS trackers come with a strong magnet (magnet), which can be attached to the metal surface; if there is no magnet, you can use Velcro or straps to fix it on the car.

Matters needing attention: 1. Whether it is a wired or wireless GPS locator, ensure that the GSM antenna and GPS antenna in the device face the sky during installation; 2. Do not let metal objects close to the sky; 3. Avoid contact with the emission source Put together, such as wireless parking sensors, anti-theft devices, and other in-vehicle communication equipment.

Some people pack in the spare tire in the trunk, which is not desirable. Because there is metal above the trunk itself, it has already affected the locator to a certain extent. On this basis, the locator must be wrapped in the spare tire, the received signal will become worse, and the positioning will become slower and less stable. So precise.

The temperature should not be too high

The working temperature of GPS locator is generally -25℃~+75℃, so avoid places with high temperature during installation. Do not install it near the engine, because the engine will generate a lot of heat when the car is running, although it will be taken away by the flowing cooling water, but sometimes it will be too high.

Waterproof and moisture-proof

Wet environments can also cause fatal damage to electronic products such as GPS trackers, so we should also pay attention to this situation when installing. When installing under the wiper board, pay attention to waterproof work and wrap it with a waterproof cover.

Try not to install it near the condenser pipe of the air conditioner, especially in summer. When the car is turned off and not in use, the temperature in the condenser pipe suddenly rises from low, which will cause dripping. Although the locator should also be protected against low temperature, it can still work normally even at -30°C. Why can't the air conditioner in the car be lower than 0°C? So this place can still install GPS tracker, but remember to take waterproof measures.

Wanway wireless GPS tracker is very suitable for personal car tracker, with strong magnetic force and long standby time. Easy to install, with intelligent power-saving mode, the use time is nearly 200 days.
