It is possible to not install a GPS when buying a car on loan, as forcing the installation of a GPS is a practice by some 4S stores, but not all 4S stores require consumers to install a GPS. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Positioning system: GPS is the vehicle's positioning system, which requires the use of satellites for positioning, so the GPS antenna needs to be in an open space with good signal reception for more accurate positioning. 2. Installation location: The car's trunk is very large, offering many possible installation spots. Basically, laying a blanket in the trunk is enough to cover the GPS and prevent it from being discovered. 3. Near the tail light by the trunk: This location is often overlooked by most people, and the satellite signal in the trunk area is relatively unobstructed, ensuring the positioning effect is not affected.
