How to detect that the locator is installed in the car?

The car has been positioned, and if it is used, the consequences will be unimaginable. So how do we find out the gps tracker stolen from the car?

There are three main types of automobile positioning equipment: wiring type, OBD interface type and strong magnetic type (installation-free type). According to these different types, the detection methods are as follows.

1, direct search vehicle (strong magnetic installation-free type)

In order to avoid the vehicle GPS locator being found, people will try their best to install the GPS locator in some hidden places, such as near the front and rear bumpers and inside the left and right doors. So in order to find out the maliciously installed GPS locator, we can first look for it from the following positions and the positions in the picture.

2. Final inspection of wiring (wiring type)

At present, most GPS locators on the market are wired and need to be connected to the vehicle power cord to provide power. Therefore, it is also a good method to find out the installed automobile GPS locator along the automobile power line. But this method is more difficult for people who are not familiar with cars. It is recommended that the owner go to the garage to check the line, otherwise it may damage the car line.

3. Check the OBD interface (OBD interface type)

Nowadays, many OBD devices not only have the functions of automobile fault diagnosis and anomaly detection, but also have the functions of positioning and driving record. This device can be used by plugging in the OBD interface, so you should also pay attention to check the OBD interface when looking for it. The location of the OBD interface is as follows: a, located in the lower left corner of the steering wheel (the most common); B, located in the lower right corner of the steering wheel; C, located near the igniter under the center console; D, located in the central armrest box.

4.GPS model detector (universal)

The GPS locator needs to install a SIM card to receive and send information, so the automobile GPS locator has a certain frequency, which can be monitored by the GPS signal detector. Car owners go to the electronic market to buy a device for tracking cell phone signals, use this thing to search around your car, and you will soon find the installation location. For signal detection, you can start the car, then use the mobile radio, turn on the radio, find the channel with the clearest sound, and move around the car. If the radio moves somewhere, you have found it.

5.GPS Shielder Shields Signals (General)

If you still can't find the above method, I'll teach you the simplest and rudest method. Search for a GPS shield (or jammer) on the Internet, and install it in the car after purchase, which will shield any signal in the car, so don't worry about the car being tracked. However, the shielding device will shield the mobile phone signal from interference, which is not desirable.
