Where is the vehicle GPS generally installed?

Vehicle GPS is usually installed inside the trunk, within the bumper, or inside the spare tire. GPS is the vehicle's positioning system, which requires satellite signals for accurate positioning. Therefore, the GPS antenna needs to be placed in an open space with good signal reception to ensure precise location tracking. The common installation locations for vehicle GPS are as follows: 1. Inside the trunk. The car trunk is spacious, offering multiple installation spots. Typically, laying a blanket inside the trunk is sufficient to conceal the GPS and prevent detection. Another discreet location is near the taillight in the trunk area, which most people wouldn't notice. Additionally, satellite signals are relatively unobstructed in the trunk, ensuring good positioning accuracy. 2. Inside the bumper. When installing the GPS tracker inside the bumper, it's crucial to ensure waterproofing and secure the device with tape or similar materials. During driving, the vehicle may encounter uneven roads and vibrations, which can cause an unsecured tracker to dislodge. Prolonged exposure to such vibrations can also negatively impact the tracker's performance. 3. Inside the spare tire. This is another hidden location, but it has a drawback: this method is mostly suitable for spare tires mounted externally at the rear of the vehicle, rather than those stored inside the trunk. The multiple layers of metal in the trunk, spare tire, and spare tire casing can significantly interfere with the GPS signal, affecting the tracker's performance.
