If you are using the GPS tracker to optimize your fleet tracking business, you might have some problems with installation. Then, this post might be just for you! We're going to talk about some common devices and give quick tips on how to best place the GPS tracker for improved usage.

1. With the OBD II device, it's one of the easiest GPS tracker to install. If your vehicles are cars or light trucks with a model year 1996 or after then they are OBD II compliant. So, simply look at the OBD connector and locate your truck's OBD II port that matches. The connector should be located within three feet of the driver and should not require any tools to be revealed. Look under the dash and behind ashtrays. Then plug in the device! 

2. With GPS tracker which is wired. First, make certain that the GPS tracker unit is sitting correctly inside the box. If you get into too much of a hurry, you could accidentally place the unit upside down and find yourself having connection issues. Next, avoid placing the device somewhere that metal will be covering it up. This will interfere with your signal. DO place the device as close to the rear of the vehicle as possible, making use of the powerful magnetic box. Clip it on and get ready to go!

3.) The others GPS tracker, generally, use the basic system set-up in which placing the unit behind the instrument cluster (or highest point of dash) facing up will work. From there you simply drop the wires down to make up connections with the coordinating wires under the dash. Units with an antenna separate, will require that the installer pays close attention to the placement of antennae. One side is marked “this side up,” because if it it flipped incorrectly it will interfere with your signal. You can place this antenna under plastic and it should not cause any signal problems as long as it is facing upwards in the correct direction
