Thatcham S5 /S5+ tracker recommendations

[elTorerro]

I've been recommended Scorpion Trackers by my conversion company. Home - Scorpion Track - Thatcham Approved Tracking and Fleet Management £450 plus £129 annually

 

[Dav-Tec]

They're a good system. The Autowatch system does the same it's ran and monitored by Smart Track. Same as the Scorpion but cheaper. Software looks different but unless your fleet monitoring you won't really use it that much. Just my opinion though

I have been offered a Metatrack with Ghost 2 immoboliser for £650 including 1st years subscription or my converter is offering an Autowatch ATT1 system for £595 including 1st years subscription, I have no idea which is better ? And whether to install a dash cam as well.

 

[Ozi]

Which metatrak system are they offering?
That and ghost together plus first year subs for £650 sounds a good price and would be the better option in my view as it gives you the best of both worlds. The ghost won’t be recognised by most insurers, but the metatrak will be

 

[Dav-Tec]

Sounds a very good price. The subs are £150 alone I'd be willing to match the £650 offer but it would be the Autowatch S5 Tracker with 2x Driver I.D cards and driver i.d app access

Hi, I am due to collect a new T6.1 conversion in about 3 weeks. I have been looking at insurance quotes and 2 companies are insisting on having a level 5 tracker fitted. My limited research shows so many options/ prices and companies etc. Any advice as to where to start ?

Thanks

Hi all,

I’ve been reading the various thread on the forum to reduce down my choice of tracker for insurance and security.
I’m picking up my 69 plate 6.1 today and was wondering what experience people have with different tracker brands and if people can recommend any that they have fitted?

I’m looking to get an S5 or S5 plus fitted to reduce my eye watering insurance. After that I’ll be considering a ghost - that’s a while away though.

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.
Cheers!

Have a chat with the trade member @Dav-Tec on here....he'll have some sound real world advice. Welcome to the Forum btw and post some pics!

I can recommend the Meta Trak S5 Deadlock. It's an Immobiliser and tracker all in one.

 

[Dubious]

Thanks both. @Dav-Tec, any thoughts from yourself?

Thanks for the welcome. Pics attached.

Only a couple of issues - lots of small stone chips on windscreen and I’ve I’ve factory reset the infotainment system and can’t log in on it now… if I can’t sort it today I’ll post that in the relevant area on here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi welcome to the forum buddy.

We only got MetaTrak after trying several others. I've fitted them to both personal vehicles too and by far they're the best we can supply and fit various packages. The most common is the S5 with immobilisation and OEM alarm integration. Prices and info are on the website but feel free to call us.

Cheers
Chris

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it!

Hi all , been trying to sort insurance for when my new Kombi comes next week and been told by the two companies I’ve rang that I need an s5 tracker fitted! Is this pretty much standard now or can anyone recommend an insurance company that don’t specify that . Any info appreciated.

As is commonly mentioned insurance is very specific to your circumstances, your best bet is to try a few of the popular companies in a recent thread:

Insurance popularity question

To find out the most popular / most used insurance companies people use for their campers please reply with just the name the company you use , thank you .

Also keep in mind that while I'm no great fan of insurance companies if several are either offering lower premiums or making it a condition to have an approved tracker - that might be telling you something about the theft risk you might want to think about.

The two I’ve tried are a- plan and brentacre, will try and couple more tomorrow and see what they say. Wasn’t sure if it’s down to value as it’s over 50k . I’ve never owned a vehicle in this price bracket before nor been asked to fit a tracker.

 

[roadtripper]

I'm somewhat similar with the Caravelle but so far have not had a tracker mentioned as a condition. It's certainly something I'm considering given the value.
