How To Block GPS Car Tracking

Many cars are equipped with a GPS tracking system which is designed to provide extra safety for the passengers in the car in case you are involved in an accident or if your car is stolen. This device can easily find your car leading to its safe return. However, some people would prefer not to have this tracking system in their car. If this is you, do not worry you can easily disable the device.

• If you do not want to use this device in the future, you may want to consider disabling the device so that it cannot track your movements inside of your vehicle. For a system such as OnStar, you can easily remove the cables running from the brain box in the trunk so that it is completely disabled. If you decide that you want to use this service later you can easily rearm the device to working order in no time. If you wish to use the safety features of OnStar without allowing your movements to be traced when you are not needing them you may want to consider purchasing a separate device to block out or scramble the signal to prevent it from being read.


•  A GPS blocker stops all GPS linked devices from submitting a signal to the satellite where the information is sent. A GPS blocker is a great alternative to disabling your car's GPS system. If you have an emergency and need to use the tracking system in your car all you need to do is remove the device from your cigarette lighter and the tracking device in your car will be restored.


• A GPS jammer is a small handheld electronic that is able to scramble the signal being submitted by your car so that it cannot be picked up by a GPS satellite. Your car will submit a signal, but the GPS jammer does not allow the signal to be picked up. These products vary in cost depending on the quality of the product. Most of these jammer devices use your cigarette lighter as a power source. Simply plug the GPS jammer into your cigarette lighter and it begins to work immediately.
