Just a thought,

the site quotes "...RAC Trackstar is a new vehicle security device, which combines GPS satellite tracking with a specially developed GSM communications module, to provide instant notification of a theft, when a Trackstar fitted vehicle is stolen. ...)

NOW, if the GPS is functioing all the time and in constant contact with RAC. Firstly there is a call charge bill and secondly they know HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING !!!!

Call me paranoid but my GPS does that quite easily.

Does anyone have it already, can you see details on the web?

Your dealer arranges it before you take delivery.

You don't need any extra keyfobs for the P1 - it's activated/deactivated by the same button as the usual uk alarm. It's all-in-one Jim.
