Default Found a tracker!

I was stripping the car out for a good clean and found a tracker! Was news to me, it's a Siemens snav thing. Any idea about activating it? Costs etc.

From memory mine was £99 a year, but I think there might be an 'activation' fee if you're setting up a new one.


I'd see if your insurance will reduce the premium enough to warrant doing it first though. Mine didn't unfortunately.

I asked my insurance about the rac trackstar and the quote actually went up! Apparently thieves see it as a challenge, which I found a bit strange.

I work for a tracking company so could have one without a fee, but my insurance would go up
