So my insurance company insist i have a tracker fitted to my new (as yet undelivered) vogue.

Dealer quoting £450 plus VAT plus contract

google suggests that mobile operators will fit these for under half that (my dealer users a mobile operator also)

anyone got experience of either unit/service?


I did search the forum for both names before posting this  Gerry

cant comment on the two types but i would probably go to a depot rather than someone come to my house and fit...these trackers need to be put somewhere where the 'thief' cant find it so there would be a fair amount of vehicle stripping down and doing that on a rainy day aint the right thing to do...

I've had cobra in caravans and generally very good. I use a man called Ben at Driven
Excellent service over the past 6 years, thouroughly recommended  Ian

+1 for Ben @ Driven In Car. He's done 2 caravans for me with Cobra.

i will certainly shop around for new companies come September when my current policy expires.
for now though i just need to upgrade to cover the FFRR.
my car is delivered to the dealer for collection this saturday, but as i will be away on business until 24th, it will be possible for a company to fit the unit at the dealers. they are ok with this.

i also looked at some online sites, including Adrian flux, and was getting quotes of around 2K without a tracker (bizarre due to my age, history etc)

so it looks like a tracker is the way forward

i will definitely give Ben a call today, and mention you guys put me on to him Gerry

I think I remember reading somewhere that the tracker companies were owned by a couple of the big insurance companies so some insurance companies will insist you have one (for their own interests). 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB
Gone 2011 Bournville TDV8 VSE
Gone 2008 Black Canadian HSE LUX

'53 plate 4.4V8 Vogue Bonatti Grey inside and out. ----- Gone

the more i search the more bloody options i find

not sure whether to get a cheap one to appease insurance, or blow another chunk of cash getting a super vhf/gps/gsm model

dunno about the caravan mate, to many on the road as it is.[waits for backlash]

the best trackers use a combination of vhf and gps [i think]

Fitting at the dealer is fine. Provided this service for me also.  Ian

If someone really wants it their are blockers which inhibit all the systems.
I'll post some caravaning pics for scarey to drool over very soon....  Ian
