About the Ford Mustang
The Mustang is the original pony car and the last of the great affordable V8 coupes. Sold worldwide since 2015, it is bought as much for the soundtrack as the speed - and a stolen Mustang rarely stays quiet. Its rear seats and boot floor hide a tracking phone perfectly.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Mustang
- Under the boot floor - around the spare-wheel well; hidden and dry.
- Under the rear seat cushion - flat and out of sight.
- Centre console - within reach of USB power.
- Power - USB ports or the 12 V socket.
- Signal - avoid the metal seat rails; the glass area passes GPS well.
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.
