About the Ford Kuga
The Kuga is Ford's family crossover and a UK best-seller, now offered as a full hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Roomy, efficient and easy to live with, it hides a tracking phone in the boot floor or under a seat.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Kuga
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
- Under the rear bench - flat and dry.
- Centre console - near USB power.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- 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.
