Where to Install A GPS Tracking Device in Vehicles?
Maybe you want to monitor someone’s movements with a GPS tracker or GPS tracking device or manage your own vehicles. Most tracking devices are intended for legitimate tracking purposes and are not intended for concealment such as obd trackers. Those that are made specifically for concealment are usually placed on the exterior of the vehicle such as portable trackers. The tracking devices look different, depending on the manufacturer and the target, but some general guidelines can help you choose one for your vehicle.

Step 1: Vehicle Inspection

Check whether the vehicle stalls at P and whether the handbrake is pulled up. Start the vehicle and check whether there are any trouble codes and confirm whether the vehicle is in normal condition.

Step 2 Fuse box Installation.

Fuse box installation is preferred installation method. It does not damage the original lines of vehicle and hugely reduce the installation time frame and thus reduce the installation difficulty.

First find the location of the fuse box which is normally located in the driver’s seat, co-pilot’s seat or on both sides of the truck.

Remove the plate, lock the car door, simulate the vehicle power off environment and wait for 5-10 minutes. Then put one end of the electrical pen on the iron rod and the other end on the fuse box. If the pen is long bright light, then the fuse is a constant electric fuse. Remove the fuse with a needle-nose plier or fuse extractor and wrap the fuse with the red positive wire of the device, and then put the fuse back into the original fuse socket. Connect the black earth wire of the device to the screw, loosen the screw first and place the gasket under the screw to tighten it up.

Step 3 Restore the plate

After the wire connection completed, connect the harness plug to the device and power it on. If the indicator light is working properly, the equipment is working normally. Wrap the extra wiring harness with insulating tape and use adhesive to fixed the device at proper position and then restore the plate carefully.
