you need a subscription as well and I doubt I'd save the cost on the difference. If someone takes my car I really don't want it back
Audi rs6 c6 avant - hopefully coming soon
Audi A3 black edition
E9x 330 msport convertible - going soon
Defender 110 utility
RS4 Avant - gone

tracker took my insurance down a grand on my scoobie classic and my insurance company would not insure me on the rs4 withought one! I payed 350 for my tracker plus I took a block three subscription for 120 quid.trackers great it shows your mileage how long you drive for how long you stop and it can help with fuel consumption I.e it tells me if I'm pulling away from the lights to fast I just go online and check it every few days

what are the privacy rules with trackers? If it records and saves your speed etc.....that could be used against you??

I'm the only person with access to my tracker logs and my trackers hidden so the lovely policeman won't know i have it therefore he can't use it against me ha
