im lucky my car insurance will go down £20 a year for having a tracker fitted, yet the subscription will cost £169 a year - so I havent bothered.

Have put a GSM/SMS tracker in but not insurance approved just nice to keep an eye on the car when its in a garage

Same here, £40 saving for having a tracker fitted but costs £150 yearly subscription so i havnt bothered, plus im not sure i would want it back after its been ragged by some low life scum !!

i put the smartrack protector plus on mine, cost me for trackerand fitting was free but was £200 for liftime subs :thumb:

they are always calling me when im on the ferry or when battery is low, top service too

Tracker on the isle of man! Be cheaper for you to pay a guy at each port to keep a look out!

LOL yeah it would be, my ins co insisted on it when I bought the car then KM said it doesn't matter about a tracker

I personally would like to see a tracker that incorporates an iPhone remote and 1lb of C4 under the drivers seat!

When I get another phone I'm gonna wire a charger to it and hide it behind the dash. If the car ever gets nicked il just turn my other phone on and it will tell my exactly where the car is.

That should kill your battery nice and quickly...

why? if its set to charge when the engine is running like any satnav or whatever. when its not running it doesnt charge and as the battery would probs last a week if it was never used. id imagine you'd notice at some point the same day that your cars been stolen as opposed to 1 week later. you also dont need to rely on plod or anybody else. you get a nice map and directions.

That's how my GSM/SMS tracker works, can track it real time on the iPhone and even disable the ignition circuit.
But I am thinking of wiring this up to "accidentally" trigger a distress flare??
White phosphorus burns extremely hot and would burn their bollocks off ....... Only joking!!!

... But not really!!!

That sounds almost as dangerous as what my stupid mate did to his BMW. He had a 190e that kept getting nicked so when he got his m3 he decided it would be wise to wire up a spark plug in the tank on a hidden switch. When he parked the car up, he'd "arm" the bomb so if anybody nicked it it would go bang. Great idea it was too.. Until he forgot to switch it off once.. Thankfully the tank was full so the plug was submerged. Another few miles and that could have been him dead or at least with a very interesting insurance claim.

That is one crazy mother fokker!
