Carrera 4S. Clio 172. M5
If you have an old but working mobile phone, here is how you can turn it into a tracking device for your car.
The phone needs to be capable of having the ring tones, vibration and display lighting turned off.
You will need the charging lead and PAYGO sim card that will work in the phone.
Switch off the lights, ring tone and vibration alerts.
Fit the charge lead and tape/glue or clip the lead in place.
Fit the sim card and check the phone works by calling it and there are no mailboxes or diverts working. (No need to answer)
Find a place in your car where you can hide the phone and where power is available.
Under the dash is a good place, but you could hide it in the boot, under or even inside the seats. Just avoid fixing it inside a metal box section of the car.
You need to hard wire the charger to a supply. I used a cigarette lighter socket extension lead. Tape up the connection so there is no chance of a short.
Connect up to the supply.
Now register the phone on this site and follow the instructions.
