Tracker..

[bradz]

My car was fitted with a Tracker from the factory.

"Tracker" have confimed it's no longer active so I would like to remove it, before I tear the entire car apart does anyone know where it's likely to be.

If anyone knows would they mind telling me in a pm as we obviously don't want to broadcast it on the interwebs.

Thankyou in advance.

Are you removing to save battery drain?

 

[bradz]

Yeah that's one reason, - Also hate the idea that someone else could be tracking my car :headbang:

Thought about putting a trickle charger on it but that just masks the problem

 

[srhutch]

I’ll pm you.

I’ll pm you.

i need to remove mine too now....... fitted at the dealers.... its also no longer active. would appreciate a PM if anyone can help with the location.

 

[bradz]

I'll send you a PM tomorrow when I find it

There is no hard and fast rule as to where it’s fitted or it would kind of defeat the object.
One fitter would put it in the same place on a Zed every time but a fitter from a different dealership or one of trackers own fitters would fit it somewhere completely different, it’s down to the individual.

They only have 3 wires coming from them, live earth and an aerial, it will be mounted behind a panel that is usually screwed or clipped in, not behind a loose bit of carpet.

I actually used to work as dealer support for a tracking company.

There was a particular jap car that came with them fitted from the factory all in the same location, they used to rip them out before stealing them :rofl:

Mine was under the front pass carpet, they cut a piece of insulation from back of carpet to make room.

How did you find it wasn’t working, no details in paperwork with my car and nowt written on tracker,
Thanks Ronnie

If the battery from the tracker has not been replaced it is most likely dead. You can also call tracker and ask them.

 

[mmm-five]

Mine's still working - as I get calls from tracker whenever it's on the back of a recovery truck

I thought the internal battery was about 7 years before it would be dead. Perhaps yours has been mangled so often they replaced it :evil:

Or maybe they’r e got an AI calling me at random intervals to make me think it’s still working.

My guess is that the constant use has kept the battery conditioned better than most.

I guess is it also paid off to go for the lifetime subscription instead of the annual one

How does one know if their car has one fitted?

I assume its on the build sheet from vin search.

If it’s from the factory then yes on the build sheet, but if it’s been fitted later then of course it won’t be.

Mine came with a sticker in the service book saying it had one fitted.

You sure? In the UK they are dealer fit, so never come with one from the factory.
