About the Cupra Born
The Born is Cupra's rear-drive electric hatch, a sportier take on the VW ID.3 with up to around 570 km of range in the bigger battery. Because it is an EV, the maker's cloud already knows every charge and trip - an independent tracker puts that history back in your hands.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Born
- Under-floor boot tray - flat on the EV floor.
- Under the front passenger seat - hidden and near power.
- Centre armrest cubby - easy charging.
- Power - USB-C (12 V may be absent).
- Signal - avoid metal seat frames.
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.
