anyone know where I can get one of these that are 24volt as fed up with the boss spying on me all the time so want to give him something to worry about when he cant see me!

[AndyRoid]

Intentionally blocking (or even interfering with) any type of radio signal is a criminal offence, and if you are caught you will more than likely get the sack.
There is also the possibility that by disabling the vehicle tracking you also invalidate the insurance.

Plenty of them for sale if you really want, just google for GPS jammer.

 Don't know if worked, but some of the guys I used to work with fashioned a piece of lead sheeting to cover the gps unit , blocking the signal , sounds good in theory?

might work if you know where its located but I don't

[AndyRoid]

I should add that if the tracking device has GSM or GPRS fallback, then the jammer won't be effective anyway.

It will likely be in the bumper front or rear .  It needs a clear view of the sky through air or plastic not steel or at least the old ones did.  Lead will definitely block the signal but is a little OTT.  I think just possibly the newer ones can read signals bounced off the road surface so it could be under the car near an edge. Don't know if they have been released yet

If it has GSM or GPRS bakcup phone jammers are also available (and illegal to use)

Live with it mate! In today's world the boss knowing your whereabouts is the least of our worries! 

If you've a smart phone then a host of government and non government organisations can pin point our location, track us as we go about our business, and read our emails and texts!! 

That's just the tip of the iceburg of the surveillance society that we live in!!   

[Lazydocker]

If you feel the need to hide your location, what are you doing wrong?

I track my employees and interfering with it is deemed as gross misconduct and will result in instant dismissal! No ifs, no buts

Look from a different point of view... Your boss has tens of thousands of pounds tied up in a vehicle he lets you take out of his sight... Wouldn't you want to know where your money was?

[Crazycarzowner]

Big brother is always watchin us, they can even tell how fast you are going to jobs - and have used the info too for disciplinary. Double sided coin really, if you are doin what you should be doin you've no arguments & as we've found out if you press the panic alarm ya mates aren't too far behind!

[the alarming man]

we had panic button fitted to ours as we were in and out of C.I.T depots...and tbh being tracked did bother me either way

Most of the Chinese ones seem to have GPS/GSM/3G/Wifi in the same box.  Completely illegal in the UK, both to import and to use.

Tinfoil wrapped around the black box after you disconnect the gsm and gps ariels and don't pull the two power feeds out as this will set of an alarm. Most ive come across are in the dashboard as the take power of the battery directly and also the radio so when you turn on the ignition it activates the tracker. This works on the tom tom system

[Kevin Wood]

I'm sure any competent tracker system will detect vehicle movement by other means in addition to GPS (i.e. GSM cell selection, wiring to the vehicle speed signal, ignition feed, etc). So, whilst short distances with no GPS input might be regarded as poor GPS coverage, I'm sure you wouldn't have to drive it far before it flags up a fault and your employer has it in for a check. It would then become apparent that you'd tried to fiddle it, of course.

It's a company vehicle. Somebody else is paying for it to support their business, so they have a right to know where it is being used, in my opinion.

[zirk]

If its hidden out of sight, could be a non GPS device, ie a Live Data Tracker or TeraTrack device, which solely use GSM/PCN or Securicors old Data Track VHF Networks.

Either way will only be a question of time before the Truck get called back to get it repaired, if itwent OOS.
