Where Are Listening Devices Generally Placed in a Car?

[GabrielaMarie]

In-car listening devices are usually installed near the driver's seat, not too deep because the microphone needs to pick up sound. If placed too deep, the microphone reception may be affected by the vehicle itself and external noise, compromising sound quality. To locate such devices, you can manually search or drive the car to an open area and use an anti-eavesdropping wireless detector to sense signals. Additional Information: 1. To check if there is a listening device in the car, you can use an anti-eavesdropping detector to scan the entire vehicle. Anti-eavesdropping detectors are tools designed to detect hidden listening 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 listening device. 2. When using an anti-eavesdropping detector, be aware of surrounding unknown signals, such as whether there are wireless routers, Bluetooth transmitters, or other radio-emitting devices in the car that might interfere with the detector. Also, since mobile phone signals are ubiquitous, the detector's sensitivity should not be set too high to avoid false alarms from normal phone signals. Adjust it to a relatively low sensitivity level.
