How to install a GPS tracker

How to install a GPS tracker and which professionals to trust? People who contact us to install a GPS tracker often ask us if we can recommend an installer they can contact. In this case, we answer that you can trust us, because installing a GPS tracker is a very simple operation.

The operation itself is therefore simple enough for some electronics enthusiasts to install the GPS tracker themselves, following the installation manual that accompanies the purchase. However, we advise you to always delegate the installation of the tracker to digiparc, who can mount it behind the dashboard and hide it from view of any intruder.

The problem is not "how" but "where" to mount the GPS tracker.
Installing a GPS tracker in your vehicle is a quick and simple operation. So the real question is not so much how to mount it, but rather where to place it.

Here are some tips.

We keep the tracker protected from bad weather and near a power source.

We place the device in a location where it is not likely to be affected by bad weather - rain, wet areas of the vehicle or exposure to wind - and ensure it has access to a 12V or 24V power source (depending on the device and vehicle). Remember, however, that some trackers are self-powered by an internal battery and therefore do not require additional connections.

We place the tracker in a hidden location of the vehicle.

We do not recommend placing the GPS tracker on the dashboard, near the steering wheel or near the car controls. The installation is certainly faster and "cleaner" because there is no need to disassemble and reassemble the interior of the vehicle, but in the event of theft, thieves would immediately see the GPS tracker and deactivate it, which would prevent the police from recovering the stolen vehicle. The important thing is therefore that it is hidden, but in a position that does not prevent the tracker's Sim from sending and receiving data.
