Default What car trackers do you use?

Just want people's opinions on a decent car tracker as I want one for the saff shortly. Like the idea of one that you can download an app and monitor the car yourself. There's loads of options and I'd like to hear first hand from people who've had one installed and how you find it.

Cheers

Ran my alarm installer told me about one of those you just text it and it gives you a gps coordinate and doesn't have a monthly subscription but they are not insurance approved.

I was just looking for feedback from people who use both types.

Old iphone with payg sim, stashed away somewhere in the car left on charge! You can then access it any time from any PC or apple device.
