Hey guys,
I'm trying to install a GPS tracker and sms sending alarm on my lovely S40. I need it to have 12V and ground(the easy one).
Since it uses both GSM and GPS, I need it to be as close to open air as possible without being seen or easy to get to (for the thief, rain, fuel leakage if ever happened and weather).
It looks like this:
And you can see all the information about it from here:
http://www.spycamera.net.au/real-time-motorcycle-gps-tracker-with-automatic-s...While it should be connected directly to the battery, I think it's a better idea to connect it after the ignition switch (contact switch) so I don't drain my battery, but this comes with its own set of problems as well.
You see, the device has its own internal rechargeable battery that lasts for about 3 hours. It also sends a text message whenever the power coming from the battery has stopped (dead battery, thief trying to be smart by disconnecting the GPS tracker, or turning off the ignition if the device is not connected directly to the battery)
So, any ideas, should I connect it directly to the battery?? \
Where to install it to be hidden and safe from New Zealand heavy rain (while it's weather proof, but NZ rain is something else) And to have the best possible GSM and GPS signal strength in the same time.
How about the tool box? Will it fit both?
