Step 4: Placement of the Tracker
• The Hardwired Tracker needs to have as much access to the open sky as
possible to retain its connection to the GPS satellites.
• Tracker cannot be surrounded by metal since it will block GPS signals. DO NOT
hide the Hardwired Tracker in metal enclosures. DO NOT place it in the middle of
the undercarriage, the engine compartment, wheel wells, metal bumpers, the
trunk, glove compartment, or in any closed/lidded compartment.
