Total Time: 15 minutes
Tools Needed: None

If you suspect a GPS tracker might be hidden in your vehicle, a quick inspection can help you locate and remove it. Here's a simple guide to checking common hiding spots inside your car.

1. Check the OBD II Port

The OBD II port, usually located beneath the dashboard on the driver’s side, is a common place for GPS trackers. Look for a small device plugged into this port. If you find one, you can simply unplug it.

2. Search the Trunk

Inspect the trunk thoroughly. Trackers can be hidden in various places, such as beneath the spare tire or within any small compartments or spaces. Be sure to lift any removable covers or panels.

3. Check the Car Seats

Move and adjust the car seats, then look underneath them. Pay special attention to any suspicious objects or devices. Check the edges of the seat covers, as trackers can be hidden beneath them. Don't forget to inspect the back of the seats, where devices can also be concealed.

4. Examine the Area Beneath the Dashboard

Many cars allow you to detach the glovebox and the panel under the steering wheel. Look for any loose wires not connected to other cables. Feel under the dashboard for an antenna or device taped in place. This is a common method used to conceal trackers.

By following these steps, you can thoroughly inspect your car for any unauthorized GPS trackers. Remember, if you find a device and are unsure of its purpose, consult a professional for further assistance.
