Supe Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I've just been told of the previous owner that the car has a tracker fitted. He is offering me the Registration/Transfer details etc. Dont know, if its worth activating it/taking advantage of it or just leaving it in there wherever it is Will it make any difference to my Insurance ? and what are the benefits and disadvantages of these. Thanks to everyone, Im always helped here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 It's a big advantage if your car gets nicked. Depends what one you got, some are good some are can't be tracked that easy. Id say its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 trackers are good for insurance discount. but with organised crime the tracker will be disabled within 3/4 hours of car being stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Id only use it if it gave a decent saving on insurance. Most quotes dont require them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I think they are a great idea, at work i have seen/heard about a lot of cars getting stolen and them being recovered. Th routine seems to be, steal car and then leave it for a couple of weeks to check it doesnt have a tracker. If its already fitted, its only about £300 for a life time membership....or £100 a yr. What have you got to loose, providing you want the car back if its stolen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supe Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 they record speed distance and location... can they have a random check on your speed or can it act as proof against yourself, if you want a bit of fun with Boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
