What Is the Best S5 Tracker?

The best S5 Trackers are designed to counteract key theft and relay attacks.

Relay attack has become the effective car theft method of choice in recent years, due to how quick and easy it is to perform on keyless entry vehicles. 2 car thieves work together with relay equipment to hack your key signal, tricking your car into thinking the key is in close proximity - subsequently unlocking your vehicle, allowing the thief to enter without making a noise or causing damage.

Fortunately, the primary feature that helps to detect this method of theft is the ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition).

ADR detects if an unauthorised person has accessed your vehicle, and triggers an instant alert in your 24/7 control room. This means that an immediate response to theft occurs - resulting over 96% recovery rate.

Why Do I Need a Thatcham Category S5 Tracker?

Note: Category S5 Trackers are sometimes referred to as Cat S5 Trackers.

This is typically a stipulation set by your insurance provider due to increasing rates of keyless car theft and the low recovery rates for stolen vehicles. The Thatcham category S5 tracker is specifically designed to combat keyless theft.

Another reason why you need a Thatcham category S5 tracker is because there is not a single location on the vehicle where it can be fitted. This gives a huge advantage over factory-fitted vehicle security, which will always be fitted in the same location -making it easy for thieves to locate and deactivate it.

Your Thatcham category S5 will also have an instant tamper alert that will trigger if a thief does try to disconnect it.

Even if it’s not required by your insurer, an S5 tracker fitting significantly enhances your vehicle’s security, giving you peace of mind.
