Group buy suggestion...Trackers?

[big al]

Hi all,
After reading Markymarks post about another beloved motor being taken it has seriously made me think about taking action and looking into a tracker. I have wanted one for a while, not so much to get my car back as I would have no emotional attachment after it has been stolen, but would like to help see where these people are taking them, or maybe even catch them with it.

I have heard that having a tracker is a good plus point with insurance companies, but  was wondering which companies do the best ones and the price.
Possibly once a good manufacturer is found then proposing a group buy and discount on some.
Am sure it could be good publicity for the company, and also a great use of our cash.

i will also be interested in buying tracker if there a good price 
I think it also helps bring insurance cost down ?

I think Cobra Trak are the recognised VAG offering.

Not my cup of tea to be honest, if my motor goes then I don't want it back once the scum have finished with it.

+1. Would you want your car back after some thief has ragged it to within a whisker of its limit, done untold damage to engine, overstressed the components, god knows what else, and put 40k miles on the clock?

That's what put me off a tracker - would I want the car returned?

TT did a great thread about trackers and was singing the praises about one kind, think it was the name sake TRACKER, He was saying it can tell if if the car has been stolen even if you havn't reported it.

I had a tracker on my old A3 but never bothered activating it for this very reason, i'll just take my chances with return to invoice gap protection

[Janner_Sy]

its something i would consider.  what other options could you have to reduce the insurance?

What Category are the std vag alarm systems?

yup god knows why i did both options on the R! idiot.

I don't think insurance companies give great discounts for them and last time I checked the annual cost of the tracker outweighed the reduction in premium.

You buy a tracker yourself which works off a simcard

Clifford blackjack system... 300 yds away thats all they will get away then car comes to a halt and all he'll breaks loose .... Sorted

Ive got a Tracker installed in my ED30.

Cost to activate it for a year.... £160+ some extra random charges
Reduction to insurance premium... £0 

And for that reason, i didnt bother activating it.
