Just had a Cobra Trak Q fitted, seemed good value and is insurance approved:

Cobra Trak Q

Got mine done through an independant dealer though, made it a tad cheaper!

 

400 buck

good value for something that touch wood you will never have to use!!!

why are they soo expensive.

who uses what tracker?

RAC Trackstar. Should have been 300 plus fitting but got it fitted for free as a sweetner for buying the car. Had to get it because Tesco were the only insurer i could use at the time and they demanded i fit one!

i am sure the falocn is a good system but 600 is a bit high in my opinion

as far as i have read in the past that most trackers are not the best at doing their job anyway

are the rac trakstars any good?

steve

 

Hmm, for my scooby if i have the money nothing is high enough, as to "most" have you tried more then 1 or 2?

I tried 6 different trackers, before i decided on my present 1, and it is my opinion the best for the last 3 years.

Clifford Concept 600 + all the extras.

 

I had a Clifford alarm fitted and the ignition "live" was accidentally left disconnected from my Trackstar that was already fitted to my Sti, by the time I had driven from the fitting shop for less than a mile, my mobile rang to tell me my Trackstar had activated. After explaining I had just had a new alarm fitted the girl told me what they must have done, as above, so I had to have that remedied but was well pleased at their response.
Hope this helps.

 

i had a tracker monitor before cost around 350 with 100 quid a year fees. alot of insurance companies require trackers now and i think the monitor is one of the cheapest.

 

had 4 imprezas b4 this one all with trackers already fitted, so never had to deal with it b4

what i mean devilhimself is and i agree with you that what ever it needs parts wise the car gets it to keep it uptogether, but regarding th etracker as i say 4 imprezas soo far onto my 5th and i have never had to use the tracker which was already fitted so i dont want to spend 600 quid on something i cross fingers still wont have to use!

i just wanted to find a tracker which was value for money etc etc

so makes and models would be great

ive got rac trakstars cant fault them, even after my crash went to police station to find out where my car had been take too and they were shut so just rang them up and they told me straight where it was

 

and plus you can ring them 6 time a year to see where it is for free

 

RAC Trackstar plus

 

Id spend as little as possible for a number of reasons. The devices are fitted so poorly and with such little imagination/effort that theyre very easily found and disabled or removed. I have a couple of small cheap gadgets that will block the GPS and GSM signals, without the need for such an effort: for £50-odd I can turn all (apart from the first 'retrieve'-type devices which use radio frequency direction finding) 'trackers' into expensive paper weights.

It makes you think, doesnt it?

see simon nkows where i am coming from i just want one fitted so the insurance company get off my case, and i then event of it being stolen the insurance payout will give me the money to go and buy another on eanyway
