How do I detect a GPS tracking device in my car?
Where is GPS tracking device generally installed
We can first understand what types of GPS are and where they are easy to be installed. If you know how they work, then you will naturally know how to find the GPS that was secretly placed in the car.
1. Ordinary GPS tracking device
It will send the current GPS position to the server every ten to tens of seconds. This kind of GPS generally needs to be connected to power because it consumes a lot of power. But it is also the easiest to find. Just find a relatively open place with no one passing by 20 meters around, and use a GPS detector to detect it.
2. The GPS tracking device of light sleep
That is, through artificial settings, the GPS position is sent out every fixed time and a fixed time every day, the goal is to prevent detection and save battery power. This type of GPS needs to lock the GSM card number in the GPS through a special device, cooperate with a jammer and a mold machine, and then activate it through the device, that is, to send text messages or make calls to the number continuously, so that the device is in a signal transmission state. to find out with a detector.
3. Deep sleep GPS tracking device
This type of GPS has an automatic switch function. When it does not send a signal, it will shut down by itself, and no tool can detect its information. This is also the most hidden type of GPS, and it is difficult to find. However, since it is a GPS, the purpose is to transmit wireless signals to the outside. There is always a time when the device is turned on to send signals. Generally, the transmission cycle of this type of GPS will not exceed 24 hours. (He will always send a message, as long as you detect it long enough)
Where is GPS tracking device generally installed?
The locator of the original car is generally installed inside the A-pillar of the vehicle body, or the position of the roof antenna, and the two position signals will not receive too much interference.
Then the installation location of the additional GPS tracking device can be said to be everywhere, such as front and rear bumpers, inside the trunk, inside the armrest box, under the passenger seat, glove box, door glove box or on the chassis.
On the chassis of the vehicle: The adsorption GPS is usually adsorbed on the bottom of the vehicle, the wheel hub, etc. It is difficult to find the GPS tracking device at this position if you don't lift the car up.
Inside the instrument panel: The place where the power lines are densely populated is a high-incidence area where GPS may be installed. Because wired GPS needs to be connected to the power supply of the car body to support power supply and signal transmission, it usually chooses a place close to the power supply and densely populated with lines. It is relatively hidden to install in this position, as long as you do not remove the instrument panel or do internal maintenance, it is difficult to find it. The wireless GPS is powered and transmitted by its own power supply, and does not rely on the vehicle power system, so the installation location is more unlimited and more difficult to find.
Inside the front and rear bumpers: Because the GPS tracker is installed in the bumper, it is difficult to be seen, so this location is concealed enough and safe enough.
In the trunk: The trunk of a car is very large, and there are many places that can be installed. The GPS signal will not be shielded in the trunk, so the positioning effect will not be affected.
