You may need a professional to find a tracking device in your car.

Tracking devices can be put on cars for security, investigation and a variety of other reasons. Locating the device on a vehicle can be tricky business, even for a professional installer. Different types of units are available, making the search even more complicated. Even so, there are steps you can take to scan your car for a tracking device to see if you are being trailed without your knowledge.

Instructions

    • 1

      Consult with a professional alarm installer or private investigator. Installers are familiar with installation tricks and common locations for hiding a tracking device.

    • 2

      Search inside your car thoroughly for the tracking device. Look under the car seats, under the dashboard and around the windshield. Check around the foot area as well.

    • 3

      Cover up the GPS tracker antenna. Most tracking devices have a small antenna. Muffle the device's signal to stop the unit from working properly.

    • 4

      Search the outside and beneath the car for the tracking device. Small box-shaped GPS tracking devices are often placed on the rear or underneath the car. Hire a professional to disable the device, or look up instructions online.
