How to track your personal Car (Vehicle ) and protect it from theft?
Hearing that someone was a victim of car theft is somewhat of a tragedy.
This kind of news is flooding almost every day from our friends or neighbors.
According to USA Today, daily auto thefts have increased globally over the last years because of the advanced techniques used by thieves, but most people still don’t track their car by GPS.
No one likes to say thieves are savvy. Yet, it’s the ugly truth.
I think they couldn’t believe that we might experience this stressful situation until they cannot find our cars in the place it left last night.
I am talking now from a personal experience. It was the most terrible feeling you can ever know.
So, if you think this tracking system is only for business vehicles.
Trust me; you’re mistaken.
Private vehicles may be more involved in theft crimes than others.
Therefore, tracking salutation is also so valuable for your car.
Here I will show you how to track your car by GPS, how to place and install a GPS tracker, which types of anti-theft systems will work better for you, and other non-GPS tracking tips to protect your car from ant theft att
How to track your car via iPhone?
No exception here. Everyone, including me, got stuck in this place before.
You go to a shopping center or just finish a Yoga class, searching for your car and every time you can’t remember where you left it.
You keep searching and searching, your panic starts to arise, and frustration is filling the atmosphere.
For that matter, Apple has adopted a smart feature that can help you track your car by GPS.
All you need to do is to make your iPhone paired with Bluetooth in your car.
And some easy changes in mobile settings, including:
- Search for “Privacy” in the settings.
- Select “Location Services.”
- Make sure you have already activated “Location.”
- Then, tap “System Services.”
- Then scroll down till you find “Significant Locations.” Turn it on.
- Now, back to the general settings and select “Maps.”
- Then, turn on “Show Parked Location.” Make sure it turns green.
- Open the Maps app, now you can see under the screen “Parked Car.” Tap it to get directions to your car.
- That’s why your iPhone might be unique from any other options.
Where to Place a GPS Tracker?
A track car iPhone option is definitely great. But wait.
It’s not so much great. Many other circumstances would hamper your attempts to find your car via iPhone.
First, your phone may be out of battery. Second, the network may be is weak, so you cannot see where you parked your car.
And most importantly, this kind of tracking can’t prevent theft. Apparently, once a thief gets on your vehicle, he will turn off Bluetooth. In this instance, it will be impossible to track your car online.
That’s where a car tracking system comes in.
To track your car by GPS, you will ensure that wherever your car would be taken, you can recover it. This device creates an accurate location forecast.
You will leave your car anywhere without worries.
Alongside this, this system will let you informed about the status of your car, for example, if it needs maintenance.
Also, it allows you to know where your car was stolen instantly, so that will ensure a rapid recovery.
Well, I think you want to try this device, but not sure about the way to install it.
No issues. That’s why I am here.
Whether battery-powered devices or a hardwired tracker, both enable you to deal with theft and track your car by GPS.
The critical question now is where you can place this device and don’t make it so obvious.
Here are some suggested places:
- Under the vehicle: it’s possible if you go for a battery-powered device as it comes with a weatherproof metal case which one of its goals is to work under harsh circumstances. Just remember to direct the antenna down and put it close to the edge. In this way, it can transmit signals.
- On the dash or Rear Shelf: they are an idle location to be hidden. Make sure it can obviously see the sky for the same reason mentioned above. If you select to install the device on the dashboard, it can be tricky. Because any device close to it will cause interruption that makes emit microwave signals more difficult.
- Inside the Dash: a hardwired tracker is a top if you consider how to hide tracking devices. It can be configured with the dashboard as part of the car record.
Finally, I will review other simple non-GPS tracking tips for your safety:
- Don’t travel alone, especially to distant places.
- Don’t stop on a highway street to help strangers.
- Avoid driving at night as possible as you can.
- Turn off the engine once you left the car.
- Don’t park in abandoned places.
