997.1 Convertible : Where to hide sat-track system & wirring?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I own a 2005 997.1 Car 2S Convertible.

I would like to put in a simple sattelite tracking system which works with a sim-card. By sending a text to this tracking device you get a reply with a link to see where the car is.

It also has an option with a 'relais' which can cut for example a fuelpump so the car stalls when stolen.

It's a reasonable small device but needs to be powered (wired) to feed it's internal battery.

Anyboy has any experience in this where to hide it?

And what could be wired to this releas to cut the engine?

It feels like this is not a DIY job?

Regards,

Tom

Attach to inside of front fender behind headlight. Use tool in toolkit to remove headlight carefully. Use some body gumbo to stick to fender. Wire directly into battery nearby. You can also install it behind the front bumper if the unit does not work under metal. Search this forum on how to remove bumper.

BTW, wired to cut power is not a good idea for safety reasons. It may be tripped accidentally while car is moving with somebody legitimate in the car. However, if you want to, then put a battery cut-off relay at battery but be prepared to have car towed to Porsche dealer after being tripped to reset computer.
