Magnetic tracking for vehicles, trailers & everyday gear

Placement guide

Where to put your Tracksy.

A printable, per-vehicle guide to discreet, protected spots. Keep it in the glovebox, or hand one to every driver in the fleet.

Three rules for every vehicle

  • Cool: away from engine, exhaust and brake heat.
  • Dry: shielded from road spray and pressure washing.
  • Steel, not sealed: thick all-steel boxes can reduce Bluetooth range.

Non-metal surface?

Clean the spot, stick on one of the two included metal sheets, wait 24 h, then snap the magnetic case onto it.

Car / SUV

  1. 1Spare wheel well — steel wall beside the spare
  2. 2Under the front seat — seat rail or frame
  3. 3Behind the glovebox — steel dash bracket

Avoid: Engine block, exhaust tunnel, inside the bumper where road spray hits.

Ute / Pickup

  1. 1Inner wheel arch — chassis rail (protected side)
  2. 2Under the tray — crossmember near the cab
  3. 3Engine bay — inner guard beside the fuse box

Avoid: Exhaust side of the chassis, tray floor exposed to loads and weather.

Van

  1. 1Rear door frame — inside the steel pillar
  2. 2Under the driver's seat — seat base
  3. 3Cargo rail — behind a tie-down bracket

Avoid: Door skins that get slammed, floor areas under heavy cargo.

Box / Plant Trailer

  1. 1Inside the tail-light or mudguard bracket
  2. 2Underside of the drawbar / A-frame
  3. 3Inside a chassis C-channel

Avoid: Coupling area (pressure washing), exposed top of the drawbar.

Caravan

  1. 1Chassis near the jockey wheel (inside face)
  2. 2Inside the front boot / gas locker on steel
  3. 3Behind the rear bumper bar

Avoid: Near the gas bottles' heat path, exposed chassis bottom edges.

Motorbike

  1. 1Under the seat — subframe rail
  2. 2Inside the tail / under the rear cowl
  3. 3Behind a side panel on the frame

Avoid: Engine cases, exhaust headers, swingarm (spray).

Tools & Equipment

  1. 1Inside the toolbox lid
  2. 2Steel roll-frame of generators / compactors
  3. 3Plastic cases: stick a metal sheet inside first

Avoid: Hot engine covers on plant, surfaces that get hit or dragged.
