Mine had a Tracker already installed when I bought it (never been activated though). I have never heard of them being fitted as standard though.

There's been many discussions on here about the value, or not, of Tracker and similar devices. I'm firmly in the group that says that on cars such as the RS4 they are a complete waste of money.
