How do I remove a tracking device from my car?
How do I remove a tracking device from my car? First, locate the GPS tracker. If it's connected to your vehicle by a magnet or a data connector plug, just tug the device free and remove the battery to stop the signal. Afterward, dispose of the battery and GPS device to ensure it doesn't continue to transmit your location.
What happens when you unplug a GPS tracker?
The plug-and-play devices work when plugged into the car and not when it disconnects. It is easy to disable it. Also, the devices have an internal antenna and battery to keep sending the signals. When the same is unplugged, it sends an alert to the owner.
Can I legally remove a GPS tracker I find on my car?
If it was installed due to a court order or because it is a company car that is supposed to be under surveillance, it will be against the law to remove it. Removing a GPS tracking device from your own vehicle is by no means illegal. It is within your right to remove built-in or otherwise GPS trackers.
