bionicRod asked:
My work just informed me that the gps unit on my Ford E350 Super Duty XL isn’t working. They want me to find the unit, check to make sure it’s working, and give them its serial number. Problem is, I can’t find it! I have no display or anything, the unit simply tells work where I am. Anybody know what these things look like or where it might be placed inside or outside the van?
The GPS is how they track my hours. I’m not trying to find the thing to disable it! My company is in Tallaassee FL and I’m in Missouri, so they can’t help me. CME, your answer makes no sense. As stated in my question, it’s not working and I have to find it to see if it’s powered on and to make sure they have the correct serial number. That’s all.

There has to be a GPS antenna radome (dome) somewhere on the exterior of the truck, possibly on the roof. Maybe all the electronics is integrated right into the radome instead of having a separate processing unit somewhere in the van. Check the glove compartment for any information from when it was installed. Your better off now that you can’t be found. “Car 54 where are you?” was a fifties TV show. The cops didn’t want to be found to easily.
since your WORK is asking you to find it , that means that they do not know where it is. IT IS THERE VEHICLE. tell them to find it.
FIRST OFF IF THE GPS UNIT IS NOT WORKING THEN YOU COMPANY WILL HAVE A SERVICE THAT WILL REPAIR IT FOR YOU.
I KNOW THAT WHEN COMPANIES FIND OUT THAT THEIR GPS UNITS HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH, THEY WILL TERMINATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT.
MY BEST ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION WOULD BE, JUST WORK AND DO YOUR JOB, THE GPS IS THERE TO HELP THE COMPANY WHICH IN TURN WILL HELP YOU.
If its the type of unit that is installed by a company to track its workers, then it is designed not to be found !!! Your company might have to contact the company or individual who installed it.
Some of these devices are small and can be on the inside or the outside of the vehicle, they also require very little power and can run on the power of the stereo speaker wire when music is played. With that said anywhere where there is wires, can be this device. (Trunk, underhood, behind dash, under drivers seat)
