Installation & Wiring Configurations

• Constant Power Configuration: Wiring directly to a permanent, un-switched 12V circuit (e.g., directly to the vehicle battery) provides 24/7 continuous tracker operation without draining the device's internal battery.
• Ignition-Switched Configuration: Wiring to an ignition-dependent fuse or circuit (e.g., accessory lines, tail lights) charges the internal battery only while the engine is running.

Installation & Setup Guide

Keep your GPS tracker powered 24/7 without ever removing it to recharge. This basic guide will help you safely install your SPY SPOT Hard Wire Car Kit USB-C into your vehicle's electrical system.

Before You Begin

• Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes
• Difficulty: Easy to Moderate (Basic understanding of vehicle fuse boxes required)
• Tools Needed:
  - Fuse puller (usually located inside your car's fuse box cover)
  - Automotive circuit tester or multimeter (optional, but recommended)
  - An Add-A-Circuit fuse tap (recommended for a clean, solder-free installation)

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1: Locate Your Vehicle’s Fuse Box

Most vehicles have two or more fuse boxes. For this installation, you will need to access the interior fuse box, which is typically found in one of the following locations:

• Under the driver’s side dashboard
• Inside the glove box or center console
• Beneath the steering column

Consult your vehicle's owner manual to find the exact location and a diagram layout of the fuses.

Step 2: Choose Your Power Configuration

Decide how you want your SPY SPOT GPS tracker to receive power:

• Option A: 24/7 Constant Power (Recommended)
  - How it works: Your tracker charges continuously, even when the car is turned off.
  - Which fuse to look for: Choose a circuit that always remains live, such as the hazard lights, clock, or interior cabin lights.
• Option B: Ignition-Switched Power
  - How it works: Your tracker only draws power and charges its internal battery when the vehicle's engine is running.
  - Which fuse to look for: Choose an accessory circuit, such as the radio, cigarette lighter/12V outlet, or windshield wipers.

Step 3: Connect the Ground Wire (Black)

Locate a solid, unpainted metal bolt or screw attached directly to the metal frame of your vehicle near the fuse box (this is your ground point).

1. Loosen the bolt slightly.
2. Secure the bare Black wire loop or lead tightly underneath the bolt.
3. Retighten the bolt completely to ensure a secure metal-to-metal contact.

Step 4: Connect the Positive Power Wire (Red)

Using an Add-A-Circuit fuse tap is the safest and cleanest way to attach the positive wire:

1. Pull out the fuse from the circuit you chose in Step 2.
2. Insert that fuse into the bottom slot of your Add-A-Circuit tap.
3. Insert a new low-amperage fuse (such as 2A to 5A) into the top slot of the tap to protect your hardwire kit.
4. Connect the bare Red wire of the hardwire kit to the wire tail of the fuse tap.
5. Plug the fuse tap directly back into the empty fuse slot.

Step 5: Route the Cable & Connect the Tracker

1. Safely route the 78-inch cable from the fuse box up behind your dashboard panels toward your desired tracking location. Avoid any moving parts like pedals or steering columns.
2. Plug the Male USB-C connector securely into your SPY SPOT GL320MG Micro GPS Tracker.
3. Conceal the tracker in a discreet spot (such as under the dash or inside the glove box) ensuring the top side of the tracker faces upward toward the sky for the best satellite signal.

Testing the Setup

• If wired for Constant Power: The charging light on your GL320MG tracker should illuminate immediately upon plug-in.
• If wired for Ignition-Switched Power: Turn your car key to the "ACC" or "ON" position. The tracker's charging indicators should turn on only when the vehicle power is active.

Disclaimer: Electrical installations carry inherent risks. If you are uncomfortable working with your vehicle’s electrical wiring or fuse panels, we highly recommend consulting a professional car audio or automotive technician for installation assistance.
