Your insurance requirement comes first
Some insurers require a particular vehicle security tracker before providing or continuing cover.
The required category may be S5, S7 or a more specific named product.
If your insurer has given you a requirement, it's best to match that wording before choosing a device.
Confirm the exact category, named device and monitoring requirement before buying.
Different trackers offer different security features.
Choose the category that matches your needs, then check the genuine products available for your car.
01 / TRACKER CATEGORY
Monitored tracking & recovery support
S7 focuses on vehicle location and monitored stolen-vehicle recovery support. Choose this where your insurer accepts S7.
Features and monitoring depend on the actual device and active plan. Price on request.
02 / TRACKER CATEGORY
Tracking with automatic driver recognition
S5 adds automatic driver recognition through a supported tag or equivalent manufacturer-approved arrangement. Driver recognition is not automatically engine immobilisation.
Features and monitoring depend on the actual device and active plan. Price on request.
03 / TRACKER CATEGORY
More than location tracking
Some S5 packages add immobilisation and may be marketed as S5+. The actual product, authorisation and vehicle compatibility must be checked.
Features and monitoring depend on the actual device and active plan. Price on request.
The right tracker depends on what you want from your vehicle security and whether an insurer has set a specific requirement.
Here's a straightforward comparison.
If your policy specifies S5, don't assume S7 is an acceptable replacement. Confirm the exact category and any named-product requirement.
A vehicle tracker uses location and communication technology to provide information about a vehicle's position and activity.
Depending on the product, the device may transmit location data to an app, online account or monitoring service.
Some systems also provide theft-related alerts and professional monitoring intended to help with stolen-vehicle recovery.
Features vary between manufacturers.
A vehicle tracker is not automatically the same as an immobiliser.
Check location information through the supported service.
Certain devices report relevant movement or security events.
Selected systems include professional monitoring with an active plan.
Support follows the provider's actual terms and procedures.
Monitored trackers combine a fitted device with a service provided by the tracking company.
The exact alerts, customer notifications and recovery procedures depend on the product and monitoring plan.
01
A suitable device is fitted according to the product requirements.
02
The relevant monitoring account and subscription are activated.
03
Supported security events may trigger notifications.
04
The provider follows its notification and recovery procedures.
Physical installation alone does not establish active monitoring. No tracker guarantees police attendance or stolen-vehicle recovery.
Automatic Driver Recognition, commonly called ADR, is an important feature of S5 tracking systems.
It helps the system recognise whether the expected authorised driver-identification device or equivalent is present.
Depending on the product, unexpected vehicle movement without recognised driver authorisation can trigger a relevant alert.
The exact operation depends on the tracker manufacturer and installation.
Driver recognition is not automatically engine immobilisation, or a Ghost PIN.
Some customers want a tracking system that also includes an additional immobilisation function.
Certain S5-based products offer this combination, often described as S5+.
The actual immobilisation behaviour, driver-authorisation method and vehicle compatibility vary by product.
If your insurer specifies tracker immobilisation, confirm the exact requirement before choosing a system.
S5+ describes an enhanced S5 product or package. It is not a separate Thatcham certification category.

Choose your vehicle so the available tracking products and fitting options can be reviewed.
Can't find your car or van?
Send the registration, make, model and year so we can review the tracker enquiry. Electric and unlisted vehicles need their own checks.
The catalogue identifies your vehicle only. It is not evidence of tracker fitment. No verified STX Tuning tracker product, stock, subscription or fitment catalogue is connected.
Some vehicle tracking products include smartphone apps or online accounts.
Depending on the manufacturer and active subscription, these may show vehicle location, journeys or selected alerts.
The features available to you depend on the actual tracker.
Through the supported service.
Available on certain products.
Product-specific security notifications.

These are features to ask about, not confirmed features of your selected device.
Some professionally monitored vehicle trackers are designed to support the process of locating a vehicle after theft.
The actual service can include monitoring alerts and recovery-related communication according to the tracking provider's terms and procedures.
The features and support available depend on the device, active monitoring subscription and circumstances.
A tracker can be a useful security layer, but no product guarantees that a stolen vehicle will be recovered.
No guaranteed recovery times, police partnerships or theft-proof claims.
A tracking system is more than a device fitted inside the vehicle.
The product, installation, activation and monitoring arrangements all need to be confirmed.
01
Send the registration, make, model and year.
02
Confirm S5, S7 or the exact named device.
03
Check genuine supply, category and fitment.
04
Agree device, fitting and monitoring costs.

Contact STX Tuning with your vehicle and tracker requirements. Confirm product, installer and appointment before travelling.
Where a suitable qualified installer covers your location, fitting may be available at home or work. Coverage, cost and appointment must be checked.
Some vehicle tracking systems require an active monitoring subscription.
Depending on the manufacturer, this may be paid monthly, annually or through a longer-term package.
The tracking device, installation and subscription aren't necessarily the same charge.
Before booking, it's worth understanding both the initial fitted price and the ongoing monitoring cost.
The cost of the tracker itself.
Fitting and setup, included only if stated.
Ongoing tracking or monitoring service.
Terms after the selected monitoring period.
Monthly, annual and multi-year are enquiry preferences. Available plans, rates and renewal terms depend on the actual product. No lifetime plan or first-year total is displayed without verified records.
A vehicle tracker and a Ghost immobiliser provide different forms of vehicle security.
A tracker focuses on location information, monitoring and relevant recovery support.
A Ghost immobiliser adds a separate driver-authorisation requirement to help prevent certain forms of unauthorised vehicle use.
Some customers choose both.
Location, monitoring and recovery-related support. Not automatically a separate immobiliser.
Separate driver authorisation. A standalone Ghost does not provide GPS tracking.
Your live security enquiry
Interested in both driver authorisation and vehicle tracking?
You can request a combined quotation covering a suitable Ghost immobiliser and a separate tracking product.
The right setup depends on the exact car, available products and any insurance requirements.
We'll show the hardware, installation and ongoing monitoring costs separately.
High-value vehicles can have different security requirements depending on the model, electronics and insurer.
Choose your exact car and let us know whether your insurer has specified a tracker category.
Choose a genuine catalogue vehicle above, or describe an unlisted car by registration. These enquiry groups do not establish tracker compatibility or an insurance requirement.
The cost depends on the tracker category, manufacturer and installation arrangement.
S5 trackers usually have different features and pricing from S7 products.
Some tracking systems also require a monitoring subscription, which can be charged separately from the device and fitting.
STX Tuning can help you request a clear quotation showing the initial cost and any ongoing charges.
No approved fitted tracker price is connected. Missing prices are never shown as zero. A full quote needs the device, fitting, any travel, separate Ghost and active monitoring costs.
Vehicle tracking products aren't all the same.
Before choosing a device, it's important to understand the security category, subscription, vehicle compatibility and fitting arrangements.

No. S5 requires driver recognition, but additional start immobilisation depends on the actual product or enhanced package.
Automatic Driver Recognition is a feature used by S5 systems to distinguish expected authorised driver identification from certain unauthorised-use scenarios.
Many S5 systems use a driver tag or supported equivalent identification device. The exact design depends on the product.
Standard S7 classification does not include the S5 Automatic Driver Recognition requirement.
An S7 tracker should not be assumed to meet an S5 requirement. Check the exact wording with your insurer before choosing.
You need to confirm the exact tracking category, immobilisation feature and any named-device requirements with your insurer. A suitable enhanced product can then be checked.
Acceptance depends on the particular insurer, policy, security requirement and product. Certification alone does not guarantee acceptance under every policy.
Some insurers may recognise specific tracking products, but discounts are not guaranteed. Ask your insurer before buying.
The documentation depends on the actual product, installer arrangements and monitoring activation. Any certificate requirements should be confirmed before booking.
Some products offer location and monitoring through an app or online account. The features depend on the device and subscription.
