Trackers cost to install?

[Throb]

I'm just using an AirTag in the car these days - good enough but not perfect.

this "case" makes it last for "years" - and I just stuff it somewhere in the frunk/trunk area behind something with double sided tape…

so far it's been pretty good

How is this any different to just using the Porsche connected app? And this method isn't acceptable to insurance companies who make trackers compulsory.

it's just cheaper and easier - and then you simply use iOS/MacOS's findMy application - to date in North American (California) my insurance company has not required trackers - I do this for my own purposes - and it doesn't requires the car's internet to be working … also an airTag is not affected by "privacy" mode which turns off the porsche tracking…

it's just an option - and seems to work about as well as other tracking solutions and is easy and cheap.

if your insurance company requires it then clearly you should have something installed that is on their list of approved solutions.

I picked my Cayenne Turbo up on Saturday, and I have the official Porsche Vodafone tracker installed, and I use the separate app. However, I don't have tags. This makes me happy, as it's an extra thing to remember, and @Wivenhoe has been having problems with them anyway, but I'm just surprised it's different in the UK to the NL.

Throb - hope the car is as expected and I’m sure you’re still configuring the widget’s !

As the tracker does not have a fob, does it still act as an immobiliser - if so, what triggers it ? In the UK the car is immobilised and won’t engage drive or reverse without the fob Being in the car.
