About the Hyundai Kona
The Kona is Hyundai's small crossover and a genuine EV pioneer - the Kona Electric offers well over 400 km of range. Whether petrol, hybrid or electric, its roomy small-crossover cabin and under-floor boot section hide a tracker phone neatly.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Kona
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
- Under the front passenger seat - flat and near power.
- Centre console - easy charging.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- Signal - avoid 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.
