as above really?

Tracker or RACTrackstar or is there any others?

 

Hi Mate,

I am also looking into the same thing. The current consensus is that RAC Trackstar is superior to Tracker. You can also move from one car to the next.

 

Both are much of a muchness really. The same amount of people moan about each.

 

Just to be clear, that is the feedback I get from people in the audio/security trade.

 

Thanks Diable. I already have a Tracker on one of my cars and its never been a problem... thankfully never needed it! but I think I will go with the Trackstar. I like the way they call you on your mobile and stuff if it goes walkabout.

Trackers website is down as well.... hardly filling me with confidence!

any good fitters in Essex area??

 

what car you buying then lee?

 

Navtrak is also a good system

Tracker calls you too, if you have Tracker Monitor.

 

Drop Stu@BSC a pm in case he hasnt seen this post

 

Who is that Chip?

 

I know with navtrak, its gps based and if you car is being driven with out your authorisation navtrak will phone you to ask if you have authorised it.

If not authorised you phone the police get a reference number then let navtrak tell the police where your car is, they can even tell your breakdown where you are if you breakdown in the middle of nowhere

Or if you forgot where you parked your car they can tell you

Lee,


I have Tracker Horizon

It operates in the same way as Tracker Monitor but has a satellite-locating device installed.

Deffo the best option mate

 

as above, the GPS only ones come down to their knees if they are put in a building or a container!!! the tracker one (even with the gps option - a la horozon) still has a tracker radio beakon the same one as tracker monitor as a backup

 

when i enquired about a tracker for my 3dr cossie i wanted to know whether it functioned in mainland europe,i was told by tracker that it did not,bleedin great that if some slag takes it sharpish abroad,have heard of that happening many times cars going abroad and one rs500 theif even getting caught with ferry tickets,on him with the 500's reg on ,before he nicked it.
the slag

 

a gpd based system will work fine in europe

 

i've heard gps versions also work ok

 

what the hell did i type

 

Do they give you the location so you can go get it yourself with a hammer while the police finish thier donuts?

 

Tracker.... dont touch rac trackstar.. i used to work there, there are so many units in people cars that dont work....

 

 

also... you can move both form car to car....

and if you move rac trackstar they reset your subscription.... so if you just paid your 120 and you swap cars you have to pay again...

 

There were lots of stories on ScoobyNet about RAC Trackstar not working.

 

I beleive this was a problem with the units not recognising the sim card when installed - all sorted now though....

Porkie we use a mobile fitter who is def one of the best in the business, he's a top bloke and will do you a deal...

his name's Gary 07950 582743

 

It was because o2 sent all the units text messages.... and they just locked up :O

 

Dunno what you think to this, but I have just started fitting BOX TELEMATICS at work- they have a website.

I am unsure of the costs at the mo apart from its a pound a day subscription.

From your account YOU can track the vehicle from any internet PC terminal.
It gives you mileage, speed, locations on a map and times the vehicle moves, all stops and starts and prob loads more as work are quite secrative about it because I have one in my car... but from asking them its pretty shit hot.

Uses Orange GPRS and a GPS locater and is hidden away quite nicley, obviously depending on the vehicle, the box its self is about the size of a cd box but as thick as 3 or 4.

RACTRACKSTER gave me a great service when i had my escos

no problems at all and they came to my house to service
it free of charge.

 

a few of my mates have P1's which have track star as standard.

they reckon its so shit they dont even reknew their sunscriptions and have now got a Tracker fitted.

 

Also as well it tells you if the battery feed is disconected and the back up battery will last about 5 hours... I know that aint a massive about but I know thats pretty accurate- I disconected one on friday and it only sent the parking signal for 5 hours before it died.

Friend uses this system on all of his prestige hire cars,runs 911`s,Ferrari`s etc.......Seems excellent,you have full control by phone and it`s also monitored AND it phones you direct as well...

Not the cheapest but certainly one of the best....
