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?

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..

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

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