M0NEY 05 November 2002, 14:23 i dont think so. i think you ring up tracker and say your car has been nicked and then they can find out there where it is S.B. 05 November 2002, 17:00 What i mean is if you dont know it has been driven away then does it mean the tracker does nothing until you phone them. S.B. 05 November 2002, 19:04 Anyone know. RichardC 06 November 2002, 12:13 As far as I know if the car has been started in the correct manner (with keys etc) then the Tracker will not alarm. You will need to call Tracker to start it. RichardC S.B. 06 November 2002, 13:41 So unless you know it has been stolen it is a waste of time. M0NEY 06 November 2002, 14:21 yeah i guess so. But then again, your not going to miss your pride and joy are you. 6 months down the line, im sure ive lost something. no idea what it is! lol I guess you are asking this incase you go on holiday. Then ask the neighbours to watch it striker66 06 November 2002, 18:05 What you need is a system that alerts you when the car goes walkies, even with the keys, have a shufty at navtrak.com - their ADR system is the dogs dangly bits! chrome 06 November 2002, 18:26 apparently "retrieve" requires you to ring Tracker. "Monitor" *should* do just that. Do a google search on tracker monitor and Im sure the tracker site will come up. Rab 06 November 2002, 18:50 If the tea leaf takes your keys you have to call tracker. If they hotwire, tow etc. tracker call you. Simple. EVOLUTION 10 November 2002, 01:38 Thats why a decent alarm system is required. I had a COBRA alarm fitted and a TRACKER MONITOR (tracker retrieve i think you have to call them in any event), even with the keys, you had to key in a 4 digit code to open the doors, (you could just use the key but then the alarm activates anyway).You only have one go at getting the code right, then it opperates a 30 second delay whilst a loud tone sounds, after which if you still have not managed to get the code right, the alarm sounds and in turn activates the tracking system.

Pauleds 13 November 2002, 23:16 Look, mail me and i will tell u about the tracker system.Which is without doubt the best one to have in the uk. Paul. phil 14 November 2002, 12:54 Tracker Monitor is not that fast My car was recently picked up by a recovery Vehicle and we manged to drive from Southend to Rayleigh [5 miles] before they rung me on my mobile [1st contact number]to query the status of my vehicle Phil barrybudden 14 November 2002, 13:47 I have just had a tracker monitor fitted to my car for the insurance company, I sent the proof of instalation to them and they either lost it or the Post office have lost it. Anyone know if you can get another or a duplicate? phil 14 November 2002, 13:55 The Installers keep a copy !!! Phil EVOLUTION 14 November 2002, 19:11 Who was it, DIRECT LINE, they are good at this, they did the same to me. Meanwhile, my car wasnt covered for theft whilst im trying to sort another certificate. your fitter will have duplicate coppies John doctor CLIFFORD 15 November 2002, 00:09 Phil with out going in to detail there is a delay after you remove the keys from the ignition .. Thiefs dont tend to nick cars straight after you get out!!!! and if they did you could phone tracker any way ;) |
