Vehicle Tracker Fitting

This service charge covers the professional on-site vehicle tracker fitting for one of our hard-wired Patrol GPS trackers into the vehicle of your choice at a mutually agreed location.

Modern vehicle electrical architectures have evolved dramatically over recent years.

The widespread adoption of CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) wiring means that standard copper power leads have been replaced by complex data networks carrying high-speed signals between microprocessors to control lighting, ignition, and security systems.

The Risks of Incorrect Installation & CAN Bus Errors

Attempting to tap into a vehicle’s wiring loom without specialist knowledge or diagnostic tools presents significant risks to modern vehicle electronics.

Connecting an aftermarket electronic device incorrectly into CAN Bus lines will inevitably trigger central ECU (Engine Control Unit) error codes.

This results in persistent dashboard warning lights, limp-mode triggers, or even total immobilisation, often requiring an expensive trip to a main dealership to clear ECU fault logs with proprietary software.

Expert On-Site Auto-Electrician Installation

To avoid electrical conflicts, our vehicle tracker fitting service ensures your hard-wired Patrol vehicle trackers are installed by a fully certified vehicle electronics technician.

The technician will visit your home or workplace during regular daytime operating hours, splicing cleanly into appropriate continuous power channels while leaving CAN Bus communication lines untouched.

Furthermore, the technician will conceal the main tracking unit, internal antennas, and wiring harnesses deep within the vehicle’s interior structure, well out of sight from drivers or potential thieves.

Provided you deploy your equipment for lawful purposes, securing your private car or commercial fleet with hard-wired GPS hardware offers maximum security and continuous power.

If you have questions regarding regional coverage or booking availability for your vehicle tracker fitting, please feel free to contact our expert team today.

Where will the auto-electrician install my vehicle tracker?

The technician will install the tracking unit in a hidden, secure location deep inside the vehicle dashboard or interior trim. The exact location is selected to ensure optimal satellite antenna reception while keeping the hardware entirely covert and protected from discovery.

Will the vehicle tracker fitting service void my car manufacturer warranty?

No. Our installation service is carried out by qualified auto-electricians who use proper fused feeds that bypass CAN Bus signal wires entirely. Because the installation does not alter factory software or overload circuits, it preserves your vehicle’s warranty and electrical integrity.

Can I book a vehicle tracker fitting for a car I do not own?

You must have lawful authority and physical access to the vehicle (such as owning the vehicle or managing a corporate fleet) to authorise our technician to perform the installation work.

How far in advance do I need to book my fitting appointment?

We recommend contacting us as soon as you purchase your tracking device. Fitting appointments are arranged at a mutually agreed date and time, typically requiring a few days’ notice to organise technician scheduling in your area.

What happens if my vehicle has a CAN Bus wiring system?

Modern vehicles use CAN Bus wiring to carry signals between microprocessors. Our certified auto-electricians are trained to identify and isolate pure power wires, avoiding data lines to ensure the tracker runs reliably without causing ECU error codes or dashboard warning lights.

Does the technician supply the GPS tracking device?
