Have you placed the GPS Tracker in the correct installation position inside the car

Location	Advantage	Shortcoming
Under the windshield	Optimal signal reception and wide satellite visibility	Exposure is easy to detect and may be affected by thermal insulation film
Inside the dashboard	Strong concealment and less electromagnetic interference	Avoid metal brackets, which may affect the signal.
Roof exterior	Optimal signal strength (unobstructed)	Easy to destroy, not hidden
Behind the rearview mirror	Taking into account both concealment and signal reception	Avoid heating wires or metal structures
Under the seat	Highly concealed	Metal chair supports may cause signal degradation

 

First of all, we need to know the main factors that affect signal strength :

1. Obstructions

Metal obstruction: Metal frames, hoods, trunks, etc. will reflect or absorb GPS signals, causing signal attenuation.

Thermal film: Windshield or window film with metal coatings may block the signal.

2. Installation direction

 Antenna facing the sky: The GPS antenna needs to face the sky to receive satellite signals. If it is inverted or sideways (such as in the door compartment), the signal may be blocked.

Horizontal installation: Too large a tilt angle will affect the satellite coverage.

3. Electromagnetic interference

Being close to vehicle electronic equipment (such as ECU, central control screen, reversing radar) may cause electromagnetic interference, so you need to keep a certain distance.
