Trackers cost to install?

[Clod Reed]

I've had the S5 Vodafone tracker installed by the detailer before it headed off for PPF – does anyone know if you can disable the driver tag requirement? My insurance doesn't actually need that, just a centrally monitored tracker like the S7

Just wondering why you would want them to drive away with the car in the middle of trying to stealing it ‍
just as well leave the key in it and pick the car up once they finished joy riding it at least you’ll know where it is

Because knowing where it is is their only requirement, not the immobilisation that the S5 can bring.

If I'd have known beforehand I would have got an S7 tracker installed like I had on previous cars.

The other weirdness is that when you ask the insurance companies here they don't quote specs (S5/S7) at all but instead use "centrally monitored tracker" and in the past it was looser than that and I'm sure people would have just used an AirTag...

But I’d rather have it that they couldn't drive it away ….so happy with the tags
