About the Renault Clio
The Clio is a European institution - for years France's best-selling car and a perennial UK favourite. The current generation adds Renault's clever E-Tech hybrid, and its compact but well-packaged cabin hides a small tracking phone easily.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Clio
- Boot under-floor tray - compact but ideal.
- Under the front passenger seat - flat and hidden.
- Glovebox - easy charging.
- Power - USB or 12 V.
- Signal - avoid pressing against metal.
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.
