Hi All,

Any advice on buying a tracker / locator system would be appreciated, either a pro installed or a diy system.

 

Anybody any experience of the Accutrac system?

I know a lot of people use these for there insurance, and I like the idea that they can track your car if it is stolen and hopefully return it in one piece. But I know my next door she had one and they knew everything from changing gear to late, what roads she went down, and what speed she was doing :(

For that reason I wouldn't have one fitted. The big brother thing annoys me :D

The only thing I know is it costs each year for subscription I would check that it will save you money with it on the insurance before doing anything.

Other then that I couldn't say if a DIY tracker would be any good or not :)

was considering one of these -

just sends messages to your phone insert pay as you go sim card - the car I have has a tracker fitted by subaru but I haven't resubscribed for the reasons above, not keen on big brother nanny state watching over my shoulder all the time

That's pretty smart I would consider that as it seems I have more control on who see's what I do :D
