I've decided I want to add a GPS tracker + immobilizer to my car. Does anyone have a location for the wire to the fuel pump, besides the obvious wires under the car - that i would rather not mess with.
My intention is to mount the unit in the inner right fender in the trunk area with the wire for the little trunk light to supply 12v power.
The nice feature in this system is that the vehicle can be remotely tracked and also disabled. This is unique in that if you get carjacked (armed assailant demands your keys at gunpoint) you can let them take your car and then intervene remotely.
As for the GPS tracker, I have little knowledge. However, if my car were to be stolen I would rather make an insurance claim for my losses.... I wouldn't want the car back.
I recommend spending your money on decent theft insurance rather than a tracking device.

Everyone is going to have their own cost/benefit analyses here about things like this. However, in the case of Carjacking - as in "gimme your keys or I'll shoot you" the Fiat 124 immobilizer does exactly jack-all.
Not sure about that but, if anyone pulls one on me I won't put up a fight... they're more than welcome to take ther car.
I value my life above all material things.
I hadn't considered "to most punk ass kids who would steal your car, this device acts as an immobilizer" as an answer to the question "what is a manual transmission," but Alex I will take it for 1500! 🤣
I use the killswitch on the Bluetooth GoPedal when the car is parked. Gives me some extra peace of mind. I find it unlikely that they will get past it.
I love the car so much, I want EVERYONE to experience driving one. No gun required.
