Default 03 Sti possible Tracker Location - Help Please!

Now on my second new battery! Just been away for 5 days and alarm going off and battery near flat!

Alternator checked and I now know that it is the Tracker - car is 03sti UK

Could anyone please PM me the possible location of the tracker as have had enough now and am just going to disconnect the power cable to it as insurance company have told me that I do not need it to be covered. Am sick of charging battery !

Hopefully tomorrow will be the last time once I find the sod!

Thanks in advance

Depends on the fitter tbh, I used to take pride in using some pretty awkward to get to locations and be a right sneaky ****** about hiding those and cat 1 alarm boxes.

I know that they can be very drawing on the battery,but to be honest I would rather have it connected and activated then not,I just got myself a trickle charger when my car is not being driven to keep the charge up and the battery healthy:http://www.ctekchargers.co.uk/?gclid...FdShtAodqWgArQ.SJ.

Thanks for help everyone - found it!
I did ask for someone to PM me the location Super_ted as was worried about asking people to post on the forum.

Thanks again all, tracker is now gone. Hopefully my car battery will no longer be flat when I don't use the car for 5 days.

Well my car has 2

When the tracker engineer cam to replace the battery on the one fitted and registered, he could not find it in the location the code gave him. After much searching around the car he decided to just fit another one

He did say there are so many possibilities he could end up striping the interior and still not find it
