About the Hyundai Tucson
The Tucson is Hyundai's best-selling SUV worldwide and a familiar sight on UK and US roads. Its bold design and hybrid options made it a family staple, and its roomy, flat interior makes a hidden tracker simple.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Tucson
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
- Under the rear bench - flat and dry.
- Centre console - close to power.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- Signal - keep clear of metal 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, 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.
