Found this riveted behind my rear door card of my Fiesta Turbo



Has a Motorola box, battery, arial and power lead

 

Well that's not a good place to put it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No, this is

 

LMFAO

 

Yep..... it`s a Trakker alright,but a bloody old one..

Most of the old style ones aren`t supported anymore though,so it won`t work...

 

Is there a make on it?

 

In the bin it goes

 

Just Motorola

 

all helps to save on weight

 

Ebay it! Advertise it as RARE tracking device.

 

Not very discreat if it is

 

erm sorry for possibly sounding a little thick but why in the heck would you want to GET RID of a tracker?

and have you checked that it isn't active so that ripping it out might actually alert the tracker people?

 

Oh sh*t good point there.

 

Because I have no idea what company its from so even if it did work I wouldn't be able to activate it, I bet the guy I bought it from didn't even know about it either! Nothing in the history about it etc..

 

Its prob one of those things that used to alert you via a pager if your car was been tampered with

M8 had one on a GTE astra years ago,had a 1 mile range IIRC

 

Also the arial was unplugged when I found it

 

thats old as!

Exellent place to hind it!!!! i'm yet to find a rear door on a fiesta turbo

 

Sarky bastid

 

I have a pager with my toad. It has about 1/4 to 1/2 mile range but it goes off everytime the proximity is triggered

 

Did you HPi check the car...........?

 

It`s from the Jurassic period that`s why......

It`s a genuine Trakker from the Trakker company,but it`s fookin prehistoric......

It worked on the old Analogue cell network for activation and that system is now defunct......

 

if it's not registered and active it won't work
they use sim cards, same as phones, nowadays so you need to have a contract for it etc etc, the same as a phone

if it's old school then it's probably been fitted and forgotten or soemone hasn't kept it going

ebay is a great place to put it though

 

Trackers are only active if you keep up the subscription, plus thats an old tracker, and if I'm right its a TRAKBAK which didn't take off and is no longer Police supported.

 

Throwing up loads of little suprises this fiesta Paul!

 

That has to be the cheapest bit of weight saving

Bin, Lob, Scored

 

It's the government dude!!!! They are onto you!!

 

Jay could be right,but i reckon it`s more likely to be rival wheel manufacturers recording how many visits you make to Compomotive HQ...

 

the one your thinking of mate is mounted to the screen usually and has something like 4 wires and the battery life on the pager is shite

having seen the newer trackers on volvos,,, as to be said there a little bit more discreet

 

Your car used to be a taxi ( )

 

i recon hes missus is keeping a eye on him,, you know hes grown up, had a kid, bought a BMW family car then goes back to hes youth and buys a fiesta,,,, and she remembers what they got upto in hes old fiesta and so wants to know where he is going with it

 

I had the very same thing on my saph, i binned it earlier this year, it was really well hidden under the passenger side of the dash by the ECU!!

Oh, and the very sharp metal mounting bracket rubbed on the wiring loom, shorted out and almost caused the car to catch fire!!!

 

Well fitted then!!

 

I had exactly the same on my saff when I bought it all those years ago.

Identical setup to the one you have pictured......... and that battery weighs an absolute ton!

 

if you gone trow it, i could take it

 

The one on my m8's GTE had a 2 foot long aerial that was bolted threw the rear quarter panel

Like a CB aerial

 

that will be a original TRACKER tracker

 

Thats the same as the one I removed from our Saff, it was "hidden" in rear 1/4.
