England 

I was with Privilege for years but they asked for Tracker on my RRS so went to Admiral as they did not want one and were cheaper Confused

I also took the view that criminals know where trackers fitted and disconnect them. Also relies on Police having a car equipped in the area Rolling Eyes Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Tracker are by far the best to go with for your Tracker, i have had a tracker in all my cars.

They are very very good i once got a call to say my Porsche was being stolen when infact it was in at Porsche having warranty work done lol, they gave the location of the car within 4 meters +/-, apparently the tracker had armed when the tech done something to the car lol

"Best" in what way? Embarassed Surely you only find out how good or bad they are if your motor gets nicked and the tracker (whatever brand or model) either helps you get your car back or not?
I'm not being a Censored just interested to know what the pros & cons of the Tracker are Vs any other!?!? RRS 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic MY16 Firenze Red.

Cons are that they can be disabled / jammed by a product that is readily available on the internet, just google it and see what comes up. example http://www.logictoyz.com/security-/signals-jammer-blocker/

As you say it is only good if it recovers your car but there are a large number of cars fitted with tracking devices that never get recovered, either unit ripped out or disabled by jamming so work it out Sad

Yeah, Same as anything really if they want it bad enough, they'll have it - one way or another!

Don't the Jammers only work for gps or gsm trackers? If it's a VHF tracker it can't be jammed can it? I may be wrong tho!!!

By far the best as in experience, and the fact that it is operated by all police forces in uk. They have been around the longest and are the most respected.

True what others say though if someone wants it bad enough they will have it.

I have always been of the view that if a vehicle of mine was nicked i would rather it was never recovered and instead written off.

I am considering the new Tracker Locate device. Looks like I can get it fitted for £450, plus usual subscription. it's a bit more expensive but I like the GPS tracking feature - you can view your journeys mapped out in a web browser. Interesting to see what happens to the vehicle if left with a dealer... there was some Audi RS6 owner who identified a dealer taking his car for joyrides when booked in for repairs, using this type of technology! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)...

RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!
