How to Block Vehicle GPS Tracking?

 If your vehicle is being tracked, what will you do?

•  Physical inspection

1. Chack your car battery:  Monitor your vehicle’s battery health and look for any unusual drains. If your car battery is draining quicker than expected, and you’ve ruled out other causes, consider that a tracker might be drawing power.
2. Check the places like the wheel wells, bumper, and undercarriage.
3. Check for any signs of tampering or broken seals, especially around the car’s electronics (like the OBD-II port or fuse box).
4. Inspect the roof if you’ve got a taller vehicle.
5. Look inside the upholstery if you can access it.

• Consult the specialists: Electronics Technicians; Security Consultants; and Automotive Security Experts; They have the knowledge and tools to detect hidden tracking devices, including GPS trackers. 
• Use a Smartphone App: Apps like Signal Spy or RF Signal Tracker use your phone’s sensors to scan for radio frequencies.
• Use a GPS Tracker Detector or RF Detector to detect the radio signals emitted by the tracker.

Solutions to block GPS tracking

1. Car signal Jammer

Car signal jammer, also known as GPS car blocker or auto GPS jammer. It works by emitting radio frequency to block GPS tracking signals. Learn more about GPS blockers:

2. Signal Jammers

Signal jammers block all kinds of wireless signals like GPS, wifi, cellular, and Bluetooth. These devices emit a broadband radio frequency to interfere with the target signals. Mainly applicable to airports, public security system prisons, detention centers, rehabilitation centers, confidential agencies, the military, and large-scale events. 

3. Faraday cage 

A Faraday cage can also block vehicle tracking signals. To stop receiving the GPS satellites, it creates a barrier around the GPS receiver. It is made from conductive electricity, such as metal mesh, wire, or solid metal.

Unlike GPS jammers, using a Faraday cage is legal in most places, making it a safer option for those concerned about privacy. However, it is important to note that this method is only effective when the vehicle or device is stationary, as continuous motion can disrupt the effectiveness of the Faraday cage.

4. GPS Spoofing

A GPS spoofing mimics the real GPS satellites to transmit false navigation signals. The drones believe it is a different location, causing them to deviate from the operator’s location or land in an unintended area—this spoofer suits the drones that have a strong reliance on GPS positioning.

While GPS spoofing can effectively block tracking, it can also lead to serious consequences if used maliciously, such as causing vehicles to get lost or misdirected. GPS spoofing can also interfere with aviation and maritime navigation systems, posing significant safety risks.

5. Disabling the GPS Tracking Device

It is a straightforward and legal method. You can find GPS trackers in accessible areas like in the dashboard, the wheel wells, or in the engine compartment. After removed, it cannot transmit GPS location information to its operator. Some GPS trackers are connected to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, which can be easily disconnected.
