About the Citroen C3
The C3 is Citroen's comfort-first supermini and one of Europe's best-sellers, now available as the affordable e-C3 EV. Its tall, airy cabin and clever storage make a hidden tracker phone easy.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the C3
- Boot under-floor tray - compact but ideal.
- Under the front passenger seat - flat and hidden.
- Glovebox - easy charging.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- Signal - avoid metal fixings.
Private by design - no manufacturer cloud, no foreign servers
Modern cars 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.
