About the BYD Sealion 7
The Sealion 7 is BYD's sporty electric fastback SUV and its answer to the Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 - built on the 800V e-Platform 3.0 Evo for very fast charging, with up to 390 kW in the quickest form. It is a long-distance EV, which makes an owner-controlled location history especially useful.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Sealion 7
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
- Under the rear bench - flat and dry.
- Centre console - near USB-C power.
- Power - USB-C or the 12 V socket.
- Signal - the glass roof passes GPS; avoid metal seat frames.
Private by design - no manufacturer cloud, no foreign servers
Modern EVs are permanently connected: the maker's own app knows where your car is and routes that data through its cloud. Our approach is the opposite. Tracking runs entirely on a phone you own, and your location history lives in your own SpySat account. We do not pass it to the car maker and we do not send it to any foreign data centre.
