Where are car eavesdropping devices usually installed?
2 Answers
Car eavesdropping devices are generally installed near the seats. It is recommended not to install them too deep, as the microphone needs to pick up sound; if installed too deep, the microphone's reception may be affected by the vehicle's own noise and external interference, impacting sound quality. After determining the range of the eavesdropping device, you can manually search for it, or drive the car to an open area and use an anti-eavesdropping wireless detector to sense signals and locate the device. Additional Information: 1. Anti-eavesdropping detectors are tools used to detect hidden eavesdropping devices. These detectors operate on the principle of radio wave detection, capturing illegally transmitted radio waves in the air to locate the source of the eavesdropping device. 2. To check if there is an eavesdropping device in the car, you can use an anti-eavesdropping detector to scan the entire interior of the vehicle.
Let me tell you as an experienced mechanic, I've seen many cases of hidden listening devices during my decade-long career in auto repair. The most common spot is wedged into the gaps beneath the driver's seat - it's concealed and close to human voices. Fake modules plugged into OBD ports are also frequent, directly accessing vehicle data while eavesdropping. The spacious roof light housing is another favorite, with wiring that blends invisibly along the lines. Rearview mirror bases often get pried open for micro-devices too. Truth is, any powered interface in the car is risky - cigarette lighter adapters and USB charging ports could be tampered with. Always check for suspicious components during car washes or maintenance, and avoid sensitive conversations in vehicles for maximum safety.
