1.4 Mounting the GPS Tracking Unit
You can mount the actual GPS tracking unit anywhere in the car. It is not recommended to
mount the outside of the car because it is not waterproof. If you cannot mount the tracking
unit inside the vehicle, then it is a good idea to make sure that it does not get wet.
The best place to mount both the unit and the antenna is under the dash board. You can
usually find a 12 volt power source, usually the same source that goes to the radio. Make sure
the antenna is as high up as possible or in other words, as close to the windshield as possible,
but still under the dash board. Also, make sure that the black side of the antenna is facing up.
Shown below are some other otions for antenna placement.
