Any recommendations for an inexpensive vehicle GPS tracker?

has it got a kitchen pod in it ? ? ? most put a false back on the kitchen pod and slot a phone in that space, run a 12V feed from somewhere, fit a 12v port ( old ciggie lighter socket ) and plug in a usb charger, put it on silent and you are good to go

or you in a cupboard you could put a false floor in that, loads of options

wire this to either the van battery or leisure battery if you have one, you might have a small 12v fuse board for lights / sockets in the back

Thanks. The van has a leisure battery but wouldn't batteries be the first place that thieves would check for trackers? There's loads of hidey-holes if I use a gizmo that doesn't use one of the batteries.

no, i mean run the 12V power lead from the leisure battery

cut the end of this, add it to the connection on the leisure battery ( so it doesnt stand out )

then hide the ciggie lighter end and a phone in a hidden place


If you were worried about someone tracing the cable, you could add one of these close to it so they thought it was heading to that

Infact if you were that way inclined, you could even cut a hole behind that fake socket ( above ) and hide the lot behind that

dont forget you need to use the phone every few months on a Pay as you go sim to keep it active, so you need to be able to get to the phone
