This is great news for Newbies"

Accutracking is amazing. I track my own (of course) limo and my Mercedes where ever they go as I have a driver and as part of his employment I can do this. I have used Accutracking for over two years.
Newbies would be crazy not to get the starter kit as I have tried everything and it is so cheap.
Totally forget batteries, I have tried them all !!!!
Here is what you do.
1 Order your Accutracking starter kit at this website and have it mailed discretely.
2 Start your Accutracking account at this website at the same time. Cost is pennies.
3 Go to Walmart and buy a 12 volt "cigarette lighter accessory plug in" adapter in the automotive department. Do not get a double one, you must get a single one as they are smaller and it does matter. It will look like a car/vehicle cigarette lighter socket and will have two wires coming off the back of it. It will cost about $3.50.
4. Go online to "boost mobile" and start your prepaid account/phone number with about $30 or so. DO NOT EVER prepay a lot in advance as they have this stupid rule that you MUST give them some money every ninety days. I know you won't believe this, but if you (for example) only use about $20 a month via accutracking usage and you pay them $200 calculating in your head that this should cover about ten months so you do not have to worry about forgetting to keep it active; they will cut off your phone after three months of non payment activity (even though the phone has tracking activity every single day at every two minutes intervals and you have paid them in advance) and they will keep all the rest of your money and call it "breakage" which is a miss use of what that term means. As you log into your account it will tell you the "expiration date" which only changes when you pay them something and IS NOT related to your balance. If you prepaid them a million dollars they would keep it, cancel your account unless you paid them another $20 to turn it back on. Please believe me. I am a retired CFO and a lawyer so I know what I am doing. Just pay them in small increments so they won't steal from you.
5. I like to put the phones in the truck under the package tray at the bottom of the rear window/top of the back seat. The package tray usually only has a metal frame and you can make and upholster a matching box to hold the phone that looks like part of the original car, or speaker system or something. The cell phone HAS to be under glass, not metal and this works the best. In the trunk, under the back window by the rear speakers.
6. Take the "car charger" that comes with the starter kit and plug it into the 12v cigarette lighter socket accessory you bought at Walmart. Have someone push them together and tape them together tightly in the middle where they are plugged together. THIS IS A TWO MAN JOB! These thing seem snug, but without the taping they will jar loose. You now have one piece that plugs into the phone at one end and has two wires at the other end to wire to an ongoing year round power source.
7. The trunk is also a good place for a "constant hot" source of power but there is only one. Your trunk like is wired for constant hot and also has an interruption "ground" switch that activates when the lid is lifted. You will want to wire one side of this one piece charger you just made to the "constant hot" line that comes BEFORE the trunk interruption switch. The other wire just goes to ground somewhere on the body. You will need to get a little test light to poke/pierce the wire you think is the constant "on", as well as, touch inside the socket with the probe to figure out which area is the positive of the socket itself. You then, of course, wire the positive wire of the socket to the "constant hot" of the trunk light and the other wire that is left to a screw or something underneath the inner trunk lining and you have power for the phone forever. I have left my vehicles parked for months with now battery failure. If you want, just tape the Walmart socket and the car phone charger together and take it to an auto elec shop and they might charge you $20 to wire up the two wires. You now have constant power forever.
8. When accutracking starts is the hardest part. You have to turn the phone on, wait a few minutes for it to find the satellites, etc and then plug it in the one piece charger you just made and had wired in, as well as, hide it into
Oh oh, someone at the door, will edit later
