Vehicle Tracker, Ghost Immobiliser & Dash Cam FAQs

Both are Thatcham-approved vehicle trackers. S5 adds 24/7 staffed control-room monitoring and driver recognition tags. S7 is a real-time GPS tracker with smartphone alerts but no included staffed monitoring or driver tags.

If your policy schedule says “Thatcham approved tracker” without naming a category, yes. If it says S5, no — S7 will not satisfy it.

For very high-value or high-risk vehicles, yes. For a £20–30k family car where the insurer has not asked for S5, S7 often covers the need at lower subscription cost.

Every tracker we install is Thatcham-certified to category S5 or S7. We fit brands accepted by major UK underwriters and send the Thatcham installation certificate the same day.

Admiral, Aviva, Direct Line, LV=, Adrian Flux, Hagerty, A-Plan, NFU Mutual, Lancaster, Sky Insurance, Performance Direct and many more.

If your schedule names a specific brand, fit that brand. We hold accreditation across the common named brands including Scorpion, MetaTrak, SmarTrack and Trackstar.

Often — typical reductions are 5–25% depending on the underwriter and vehicle. We will tell you what is realistic; we will not promise figures we cannot back.

For S5, the subscription pays for the 24/7 ADR control room. For S7, it covers app access, GPS data and platform services.

It varies by brand and tier. We show exact figures before you book, including annual, multi-year or lifetime options where available.

Yes — every brand we fit allows tier upgrades or downgrades through the platform.

The hardware is yours, but control-room or app service stops. Most brands let you reactivate later.

A CAN-bus immobiliser fitted invisibly into your vehicle wiring. The engine will not start until you enter a PIN sequence using existing buttons.

No. Ghost II prevents theft. A tracker recovers the vehicle after theft. The strongest install is often Ghost II + S5.

No. The install is non-invasive — no cuts, no splices, no removed components.

No. Ghost II is not a conventional alarm and does not appear in the OBD diagnostic tree.

Yes. We discount the labour on a re-fit.

S7: 1.5–2.5 h. S5: 2–3 h. Ghost II: 2–3 h. Ghost + tracker stack: 3.5–4.5 h. Thinkware dash cam: 1–3 h depending on front-only or front+rear.

We do not publish hidden-fit locations. The position is non-obvious and varies by vehicle.

No. Cabling is concealed, trim is refitted to factory standards and there are no warning lights.

For a mobile fit, no — we do it on your driveway or at work. Workshop fits can be wait or drop-and-collect.

Your home, office, storage compound, dealership or our Base Town workshop.

A flat accessible parking spot, the vehicle key and your V5 to hand for registration. We bring everything else.

Most installs work under any weather because we are inside the cabin. For a few longer Ghost programming jobs, we may suggest covered space.

Probably. We cover Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, York, Hull, Wakefield, Doncaster, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Rotherham, Pontefract, Castleford, Selby, Goole and surrounding postcodes.

The tracker has been tested and certified by Thatcham Research to S5 or S7, and the install has been completed to the relevant standards.

A document confirming the tracker make, model, serial number and category, signed off by the installer. We email it the same day.

TASSA requires competence, public liability insurance, professional development and complaints procedures. It is the closest the trade has to a regulator.

Thatcham certifies products and standards rather than individual installers. We install to those standards as a TASSA-member installer.

We fit cars, vans, motorbikes, motorhomes, caravans, tractors and plant machinery. The right brand depends on the vehicle.

Yes. Trackers and Ghost II install cleanly on Tesla, Polestar, Audi e-tron, BMW iX, EQE/EQS, Ioniq, EV6, Taycan and more.

On S5, the control room sees unauthorised movement and liaises with police. On S7, the alert hits your phone and you report live location to police.

S5 trackers use multi-network positioning and store-and-forward telemetry. Jamming delays the data rather than stopping it.

Yes. S5 brands maintain force-liaison desks and UK police are familiar with major tracker control rooms.
