About the Kia EV6
The EV6 put Kia at the front of the electric pack: 800-volt architecture, ultra-fast charging and a genuinely fun chassis. It is a long-distance EV, which makes an owner-controlled location history especially useful.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the EV6
- Under the boot floor - deep well, the best hidden spot.
- Under the front seats - flat and discreet.
- Centre console - near USB-C power.
- Power - USB-C or the 12 V socket.
- Signal - glass roof is GPS-transparent; 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.

Quick start
The short version: put a spare Android phone in the car, run the SpySat app, give the device a name and PIN, and watch it live on the map. The full guide lives on one page so we never repeat it on every model:
