Well, had a few mins to kill at lunchtime and thought I’d root around see if I could find anything that resembles a gps tracker that’s installed in a concealed location, and I want to remove from X5.


TurboBimmer said check the rear, when I opened the cover that gives you access to the fusebox compartment I found 2 thin wires red/black wrapped in black insulating tape(see pics) …didn’t have time to rip everything out and see where they lead to, but could it be possible these black and red are power to the gps or to the gps backup battery? Just struck me that the insulating tape was not wrapped in way the bmw factory would have wrapped it.....don’t ask why I want GPS tracker out….
