About the Hyundai Ioniq 5
Retro-styled and brilliantly practical, the Ioniq 5 is one of the most desirable EVs on sale, with 800-volt charging and a lounge-like interior. Its big flat floor scores highly for discreet installations.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Ioniq 5
- Under the boot floor - spacious and hidden.
- Under the front seats - flat and low.
- Centre console - near USB-C.
- Power - USB-C or 12 V.
- Signal - glass roof passes GPS; avoid metal 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, very often on the other side of the world. 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's servers and we do not send it to any foreign data centre. You decide who can see where your car is.
