About the Subaru Outback
The Outback is the original go-anywhere estate - permanent all-wheel drive, a big boot and legendary durability. Its long, flat load area hides a tracker easily.
Where to mount a tracking phone in the Outback
- Under the boot floor - long, flat and hidden.
- Under the rear bench - flat and dry.
- Centre console - near 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. 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.
