About the Honda CR-V
The CR-V is one of the best-selling SUVs in the world and the sensible family default - efficient, roomy and reliable. Its large, flat boot floor is made for a discreet installation.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the CR-V
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and carpeted.
- Under the front passenger seat - flat and near power.
- Centre console - easy charging.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- Signal - avoid the metal seat rails.
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.
