How to Disable Tracking Devices
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) devices are an almost routine installation on new vehicles today. They are tremendously helpful to people who need to find their way as they navigate unfamiliar territory. GPS devices can help locate a car that's lost, stolen or being misused. It can also be used to track people who don't wish to have their location known and for that reason some individuals choose to disable their car tracking device. Disabling a tracking device on a car can be effected relatively simply.

Cover the GPS antenna (if there is one) in aluminum foil. GPS systems are dependent on access to the sky which will allow their signals to be picked up by the satellites that track these signals. If two sides of a GPS device are covered by metal the satellite will not be able to read the signal.
