Alternative Locations
If the A pillar trim cannot be simply removed, you have curtain airbags behind it or you cannot get
constant 12 volt power behind it you will need to select another location. The wiring method is the same
for any position on vehicle, but bear in mind that you may need to extend the wiring if you install away
from a 12 volt power source or the fuel pump wires (if using the fuel cut off).
At the end of the day, the GPS Tracker can be installed in any location where it is not blocked by metal,
however you will need to choose the best location based on your vehicle type.
Some possible installation locations include:
Under the dashboard (not blocked by metal)
o
Pros: Lots of 12 volt sources, GPS can transmit through dashboard material, close to
other wiring
o
Cons: Can be difficult to get the GPS unit high enough up under the dash without
removing additional trim pieces.
Under the parcel shelf (the top, not the metal frame)
o
Pros: 12 volt sources, GPS can transmit through parcel shelf material
o
Cons: Further from other wiring
Under rear interior trim segments in the rear of the vehicle (above wheel arches/below
windows)
o
Pros: Very covert, GPS can transmit through plastic trim material
o
Cons: May be hard to find 12 volt source, Removal of trim panels can be difficult,
Further from other wiring
