Make protecting it part of the plan.
The early starts. The school runs. The weekends away. Losing your vehicle disrupts more than a journey. A monitored tracker adds a way to locate it and support the response if it is stolen.

02 / PROTECTION WITH A PURPOSE
How a Thatcham tracker
adds protection.
A service behind the signal.
Active monitoring supports the response to a suspected theft. Follow the monitoring team’s reporting process so they can help coordinate recovery activity.
No tracker can guarantee theft prevention or recovery.
Recognise the driver. Not just the key.
S5 adds Automatic Driver Recognition. The driver tag helps the system recognise an authorised driver and identify journeys that need attention.
S5 recognition is not engine immobilisation.

Make starting it personal.
S5 Plus adds start protection. Choose tag-operated No Tag, No Start, or explore the PIN-operated package for compatible EVs and hybrids.

THE CATEGORY, EXPLAINED
Certification and your policy.
Thatcham Research lists S7 as Asset Location Systems and S5 as Vehicle Tracking Systems. It also explains that certification does not guarantee insurer recognition. Check the category and any named device on your policy; an S5 requirement is not met by choosing S7.

The features above describe our three linked products. S5 driver recognition is not immobilisation; our standard S5 Plus adds No Tag, No Start. S5 Plus is our package description, not a separate Thatcham certification category. See the product details for inclusions and available options.

04 / CLEAR FROM THE START
The hardware is only
part of the protection.
Our monthly monitoring is £10.99 for S7, S5 and S5 Plus. Choosing S5 instead of S7 does not increase our monthly fee; the upfront equipment/package price changes. Monitoring is charged separately from the tracker purchase.

A LITTLE CLARITY BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Your Thatcham tracker questions.
What does a Thatcham car tracker do?
A monitored vehicle tracker helps locate your car if it is stolen and supports the monitoring team’s response. Choose the category and device your insurer accepts. Tracking is one layer of vehicle security; it cannot guarantee that theft will be prevented or that a vehicle will be recovered.
What is the difference between S7, S5 and S5 Plus?
S7 provides tracking and monitoring. S5 adds Automatic Driver Recognition using a driver tag. Our S5 Plus packages combine S5 tracking with added immobilisation. S5 Plus is our package description, rather than a separate Thatcham certification category.
Does a tracker need a subscription?
Our monitored trackers need an active monitoring plan. Monthly monitoring is £10.99, with the first month paid at checkout and ongoing payments set up separately after purchase. You can also choose a prepaid option when configuring your tracker.
Is fitting included, and will I get a certificate?
Professional fitting is included with the standard wired S7, S5 and S5 Plus packages shown here, subject to coverage and appointment availability. Your installation certificate follows fitting, activation and checks. The S7 Battery Tracker is a separate self-fit package.
