Has anyone with a Std UK STI with "factory fit" Trackstar unit opted for the Safe Speed camera warning option?

Have spent weeks with Trackstar trying to get the unit registered in my name from the dealer and are now saying that Safe Speed is not available on UK STI only imports.

Trackstar are a bunch of muppets. Ring up and ask to speak to Laura Orange. She is the Customer Service Manager. You have to insist you speak to her otherwise the muppets that answer the phone will try (and fail) to sort it out.

If you don't have any joy with her drop me a PM and I'll put you in touch with someone at IM who will sort it out.

Agree with the above, Laura seems to be the only one there who can get anything done.

The rest, well calling them muppets is being kind.

Agree with the comments above. I went nearly 3 months without them reminding me to re-new Trackstar subscription. I contacted them in the end, and as my current insurance does not require a tracker, I wish I hadn't!

Appreciate that.

Are we saying that the Safe Speed Option is available on an UK type STI? Do you have it on yours?

RAC Trackstar Plus is more than just a vehicle security system - it can also improve your safety on the road, too. Using the same Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology employed to track the vehicle, other services can be provided to the motorist.

There are over 6,000 safety cameras installed on UK roads today and this number is continuing to grow. They are often located at accident black spots to reduce speed and prevent accidents. Interestingly, in a Mori survey it was found that motorists using speed camera detection devices travelled over 50% more miles between accidents than those without these devices.

What may be more worrying to some drivers is that the government predicts that there will be 3 million speeding convictions, due to the increase in safety cameras. So to protect you and your car, RAC Trackstar offers Safe Speed, an optional service that alerts you to the accident blackspots and safety cameras.

* The RAC Trackstar Safe Speed option alerts you when you approach zones monitored by fixed safety cameras, variable safety cameras and multi-camera detectors (also known as Specs)


* There are three audible alert stages. Three beeps warn you as you approach a monitored zone, followed by five beeps immediately before you enter the zone. These beeps remind you to concentrate on the road ahead, and give you enough time to correct your speed.


* If you continue driving over the limit through the zone, continuous beeps warn you until your speed falls below the limit.


* The system is operational on every journey, helping to give extra peace of mind


* Safe Speed service is provided free of charge for three months if you pay your tracking subscription by Direct Debit
