GPS Type
Hardwired GPS
There are many GPS Tracker options; the hardwired GPS and mounted GPS are some of the most popular types that are in high demand. Both of these devices connect right onto a vehicle's Battery. These options are great for the security of the vehicles since a hardwired GPS tracker can turn any ignition on and off with a push of a button. They both provide 24/7 live pinpoint tracking; offering you the ease of mind you seek by knowing where your vehicles or watercraft are at any given moment. Some might assume that installing these devices is a hassle, but most regular mechanics can install them for you! Spy Spot provides both of these devices; the hardwire GPS tracker, and the GB130MG-mounted GPS tracker. These trackers are compact, discreet, and very beneficial to keep an eye on your property. They track any vehicle, boat, jet ski, yacht, you name it; if it moves and has a battery, we can track it. Installing them will need a bit of know-how, however. So If you're not able to install them yourself and don’t know any qualified mechanics, then Spy Spot can happily refer you to its recommended professionals to do the job for you.

OBD II Port
The OBD II is another form of tracker that is small, compact, and very simple to install. Just locate your OBD port which is usually near the bottom left side of the steering wheel on the dashboard. OBD trackers can track the pinpoint live location of any vehicle or watercraft it is connected to. Many would argue that the device isn't discreet enough since it's on the driver's side sticking out, but that is why we thought of alternatives to this. Spy Spot offers a wide cable that enables you to hide the tracker up in the dashboard leaving another OBD open and available for use. Spy Spot sells the products separately at an amazing price; and they are worth your investment.
