What you need is a gps w/antennae. The unit can be mounted out of view with the antennae sticking out. The gps signal can go through glass but not steel,trunk,hood etc. The antennae needs a clear view of the sky to work best.Maybe under the hood by the grill will work?Grills are mostly plastic nowadays.

I wanted to build my own Lojack, so to speak. It appears that the common GPS receivers are cheap, but anything that sends out a GPS signal costs around $500. So the 6-700 that Lojack charges is pretty reasonable given the cost of the technology. If you just want to track where someone is going then yes you can use a handheld gps and look at it when you the car comes back. You would need one with some type of external antenna because in the trunk will not work. I looked into this a few years ago. I wanted to build my own Lojack, so to speak.
