Installing a GPS tracker on your car is important for various reasons, such as enhancing security and reducing insurance premiums. The tracker uses satellites to determine your car’s location and software to provide analysis and alerts based on that information. There are three types of GPS trackers based on the connection method:
- GPS Tracker with Inbuilt Battery: These trackers come with a built-in battery and are easy to install. You can hide them in your car, preferably in a spot away from passengers. Some models have a magnetic back panel, allowing you to attach them to metal surfaces. Avoid hiding the tracker deep under cushions or inside glass or metal chambers, as it may affect the connection.
- GPS Tracker Connecting to Car Battery: In this type, the tracker is placed near the engine bay, where the car battery is usually located. When installing it, pay attention to the battery terminals. There are two terminals, one called “positive” and the other “negative.” Be cautious to avoid contact between these terminals, as it can cause a fire. Connect the corresponding terminals of the tracker device to the car battery terminals, ensuring a secure connection. Then, follow the device’s instructions to turn it on.
- GPS Tracker Connecting to OBD Port: The OBD port, found in cars, is a convenient way to connect various devices, including GPS trackers. If no other devices are plugged into the OBD port, connecting the tracker is straightforward. Simply plug it in and ensure a secure connection.
Secrecy is important when installing GPS tracker, as you don’t want others to tamper with or remove them. For added security, some brands provide a small power source that alerts the owner if the device is removed from the power source. This can help you detect any tampering with the tracker.
By installing a GPS tracker on your car using one of these methods, you can enjoy the benefits of improved security and peace of mind.
