How to Install a Hardwired GPS Tracker
There are two kinds of GPS trackers both portable and hardwired devices. Portable devices are powered by batteries and wireless which means they are able to be moved around. Hardwired vehicles run on the power of the car they track and require wires to be connected. Find out how to wire a GPS tracker.
Location and Placement
The first step is to have to decide where the tracker is put in place. Many businesses prefer having fleet tracking systems that are installed so that the device is out of the view of their drivers. In this case, it is possible to have the device put underneath the dashboard of many cars and trucks (some top-end imports come with a metallic foil that is placed under the dash - in this case, the under dash mount will not perform). The GPS Tracker device in Pakistan’s signal can be penetrated by glass foam, plastic wood, fiberglass, and glass but not metal (so don't place it in the hood of a vehicle or truck).
Make sure that the GPS tracker is kept out of contact with any electronic device like radios as far as is possible. This will prevent the potential for feedback when the device transmits. If it is placed too close to the dash and the GPS tracker's signal will decrease. Although it can still work in areas where high connectivity to wireless networks is present but in areas that have limited wireless coverage, the device will not be able to communicate.
Installation
To begin the installation, place the device for tracking vehicles on the dashboard, at the base on the side of the vehicle (optimal position for the device). For the best results, you should consider using a zip tie to secure the transceiver and prevent it from falling out of the dashboard.
Attach your wiring to the transceiver, and locate a steady 12 VDC source of power (see the wiring diagram for your particular device). Make use of this "poke and wrap" technique to connect the constant power source of 12 VDC with the red wire of the device to track. Find the ignition/accessory wiring in the vehicle (see wiring diagrams for a particular device) then connect the wire to the white of the device. Connect to the grounded wire (see the wiring diagram for the particular device) with the ground wire of the device.
The power source for your device should come directly from the ignition column, which is where you'll find continuous energy and the ignition. This is the cleanest source of power for your device. Don't utilize the radio as the source of electricity for one of these power cables. Don't connect the red and white wires together and connect them to a continuous power source. The white wire should be connected to ignition or accessory wire.
