About the Nissan Qashqai
The Qashqai invented the family crossover and is still one of the UK's best-selling cars, built in Sunderland. The current e-Power hybrid is quiet and frugal, and its deep boot with an adjustable floor gives a tracker phone an ideal hiding place.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Qashqai
- Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
- Under the rear bench - flat and dry.
- Centre console - near USB power.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- Signal - avoid metal seat 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. 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.
