Where to hide a GPS in the car if you have regular access to the vehicle?

One possible location to hide the car GPS is inside the seat. In this case, you will have to remove the upholstery to access the interior compartment and hide the device.
2) In the engine compartment
If you want to hide a magnetic car GPS in the engine compartment, you need to take some important precautions. In particular, protect the device from humidity, high temperatures and place it in a well-ventilated place.
3) In the dashboard area
One of the most common places to hide the mini car GPS is under the dashboard. If you have regular access to the car, this is the best place, as many people are not familiar with this space.
4) Inside the door panels
Hiding the mini spy GPS inside the door panels is a good option.
5) In the fuse box
Another possible place to hide the car GPS is inside the fuse box.
The fuse box is an important part of a vehicle's electrical system and is usually located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. It contains the fuses that protect the various electrical circuits of the vehicle from any overload or short circuit.
However, before doing so, it is important to check that installing the device will not interfere with the operation of the fuses or other components of the vehicle's electrical system.

Many modern cars have a center console with a cover. You may have to remove the cover or find a way around it, but once you have access to the console, you can find a place to hide the device.

If your vehicle has a cigarette lighter socket, you can hide the mini GPS car tracker inside it. It will be easily accessible and out of sight, but keep in mind that you will need to use a mini GPS that is compatible with the size of this space.
8) Connected to the OBD-II port
You can install the spy GPS by connecting it to the OBD-II port.
The OBD-II connector is usually located under the dashboard or near the brake pedal. When the GPS is connected to the OBD-II port, it draws power directly from the vehicle.

Placing the spy GPS tracker in the brake lights can be a good idea. However, it is important to keep in mind that in case of technical problems, there is a high probability that the device can be discovered.
