Before you commit to any tracker system check which ones Direct-Line approve.......... directline are the owners of one of the tracker companies IIRC so no good fitting something that they don’t approve (ie from their competitors!). What your insurer approves of and what Land Rover dealers offer are not always the same thing also many insurers not tied to their own tracker company do not require a tracker for vehicles below a set value - NFU Mutual offer good policies/ premium values and don’t always require a tracker for Land Rover products.

There’s not much to report - the version I had was a hidden black box with its own battery. I had no extra keys or anything like that, just relied on the central monitoring service that you pay for. The problem with all 3rd party/ after market fitted systems is that if your car is stolen then the thieves will destroy the interior trying to find the black box and its power supply. There was an interesting program about car theft on Ch5 last night where they showed a Porsche 911 that was stolen and recovered but the interior was so badly damaged it was written off..... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Ive got a cat6 Locate fitted to my now RRS & I had a cat5 plus fitted to my RRS before this one,,the only difference is you get tags with the 5 plus so if anyone takes it even with the keys it alerts tracker within seconds of it moving.

With a cat5 plus with the fobs,,they can still drive it but it alerts tracker straight away,,they then call you first to make sure it’s not a false alarm,,if you then tell them your not in the car so it must have been stolen they then alert police who have all the equipment to then track 5he car.Also with a cat5 plus tracker can turn the car off,,so if police are following it & it stops at lights or junction they will disable the engine & the thieves are going nowhere in it.Cat5 plus is by far the best,,if mine didn’t already have a cat6 locate fitted when I purchased it I would have fitted the 5 plus without hesitation.Also wth the 5plus & locate they can track it if it’s in underground carpark or even in a container.

Thanks Tyrefitter. Did you use the My Tracker Website facility - if so, what did you think of it.
