I had a streetwize gps tracker. Worked fine for a few months then died. Was well recommended.

I have put a MetaTrak into a few cars now. It gives a very useful app that one can use to track cars, journeys and where the car is at all times (and status of battery etc). a lot of the guys in the M-B Club UK in the London area have used Ian from Quantum AVS to fit these, his work has been very good

I just got a notice from T-Mobile about a device they are offering called sync up tracker. Unlike the air tag from Apple which needs to be in proximity of an iPhone (which it’s kind of hard not to be these days but that’s beside the point), this works on the T-Mobile network…which is nearly everywhere.

…and since they are a German company maybe it’s offered there too.

Hi Maurice,

I can highly recommend Classic Tracker Ltd (www.classic-tracker.com)

All the usual phone app tracking features. If you are travelling you can set 'safe zones' at overnight stop overs plus you have a feature where, if the worst happens, and your phone notify you that your car is being driven away you can isolate, for example, the fuel pump from your phone and the car will slowly come to a stop.

Nick the company owner is a great guy to deal with also.

We can talk about another anti theft feature also next weekend if you like.
