About the Volkswagen Tiguan

The Tiguan is Volkswagen's best-selling SUV worldwide and a UK family favourite. Solid, roomy and now plug-in hybrid, it hides a tracking phone easily in the boot well.

Where to mount a tracking phone in the Tiguan

Under-floor boot tray - deep and hidden.
Under the front seats - flat and near power.
Centre console - easy charging.
Power - USB or 12 V.
Signal - avoid metal seat 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. 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.
