Your Car Is More Vulnerable Than It Has Ever Been
Why Car Tracker Installation Has Become Essential.
According to published data there were 375,048 reported vehicle thefts across England and Wales, roughly 6.2 thefts per 1,000 people. And those are only the reported ones.
The methods driving that figure are not opportunist. They are professional and they are specifically designed to defeat every security measure your car came with from the factory. Relay attacks amplify your key signal from inside your home and use it to unlock and start your car from the street. Key cloning creates a working copy of your fob. OBD port exploitation reprogrammes a blank key in under a minute using a laptop plugged into your diagnostic port. None of these trigger your alarm. None of them leave signs of forced entry.
A professionally installed Thatcham approved car tracker changes the equation. It does not stop a thief from attempting to take your car. What it does is ensure that the moment your car moves without authorisation a professional monitoring centre is alerted and working with UK police to recover it, often before the thief has reached the end of your road.
For many vehicles especially premium SUVs and keyless models insurers have tightened conditions requiring higher levels of tracking or immobilisation. Car tracker installation has moved from a sensible precaution to a policy requirement for a growing number of vehicle owners.
S7 or S5 Car Tracker Installation. H-Track's Recommendation Guide
The Honest Answer Most Installers
Do Not Give You First.
This is the question every car owner searching for car tracker installation should have answered before they book anything. H-Track’s view is that the right tracker depends on three things, your car, your insurer’s requirement and your risk level. Here is how to think through each one:
If your insurer has specified a category
Follow it precisely. S7 means S7. S5 means S5. Fitting a lower category than your insurer has specified can invalidate your theft cover even if the product itself is Thatcham approved. H-Track will confirm your requirement and make sure the right tracker is fitted and certificated correctly.
If your car has keyless entry
Insurers are placing greater emphasis on S5 requirements for keyless cars as of 2025. H-Track’s recommendation for any keyless entry vehicle, regardless of what the policy currently states, is the S5 as a minimum. The S5’s Automatic Driver Recognition is the specific countermeasure against relay theft. The vehicle key signal can be relayed but the ID tag cannot so the system knows something is wrong before the vehicle has even left the driveway. That early alert is what the S7 cannot provide.
If your car is standard value with a traditional key
The S7 is the right call. It provides genuine Thatcham approved protection, real-time GPS tracking, 24/7 professional monitoring and a direct police liaison recovery response. For a standard vehicle where relay theft is not the primary risk the S7 is proportionate, fully insurance approved and the most commonly required category across standard policies.
If your car is high-value or a prestige model
H-Track’s recommendation is the S5 as a minimum and the S5 plus for vehicles where your insurer has specified remote immobilisation. Prestige and high value vehicles attract a different level of professional criminal attention. The S5’s Automatic Driver Recognition closes the relay theft vulnerability specifically. The S5 plus adds remote immobilisation, preventing the engine from restarting in a confirmed theft once police authorisation is given.
If your car has been previously targeted
A previous theft attempt changes everything. H-Track’s recommendation for any car that has been targeted, regardless of value or whether it has keyless entry, is the S5 as a minimum. The risk profile has been established and the protection should reflect that.

Car Tracker Installation
Across All Vehicle Types
Every Make. Every Model. Every Risk Level.
H-Track fit car trackers across the full range of makes and models. The tracker category and specific product varies by vehicle, we always confirm compatibility before booking. Here are the vehicles we most commonly install car trackers on and the category we typically recommend:
Standard cars with traditional keys Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and similar. The S7 satisfies most standard insurance requirements and provides reliable monitored protection for everyday vehicles. If your insurer has not specified a category the S7 is the most common recommendation for this vehicle group.
Keyless entry cars Any car that starts without inserting a key, which now covers most new vehicles, is in the relay theft risk category. H-Track’s recommendation for every keyless car regardless of brand or value is the S5 as the minimum appropriate protection. The S5’s Automatic Driver Recognition is specifically designed to counter the relay attack methods that target keyless systems.
Prestige and performance cars BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, Jaguar and similar. Consistently targeted by organised professional gangs. H-Track’s recommendation for every prestige vehicle is the S5 and for many models where insurers have tightened requirements the S5 plus is the specified category. We regularly carry out car tracker installation on prestige vehicles across our coverage areas and understand the specific insurer requirements attached to these models.
High-value SUVs and 4x4s Range Rover, Land Rover Defender, BMW X5 and X7, Mercedes GLE and similar. Among the most consistently stolen vehicle types in the UK year after year. H-Track’s recommendation is the S5 as a minimum and in many cases the insurer will specify S5 before you have even asked. We carry out car tracker installation on these vehicles regularly and understand the risk profile and insurer requirements that come with them.
Electric and hybrid vehicles Fully compatible with S7 and S5 car tracker installation. The S5 plus remote immobilisation feature is not currently suitable for hybrid or electric vehicles, H-Track will confirm the appropriate product before your installation is booked.
Modified and performance vehicles High investment in modifications increases both value and attractiveness to thieves. Car tracker installation on modified vehicles is increasingly flagged as a requirement by specialist insurers. H-Track will advise on the right category for your specific policy.
How Car Tracker Installation Affects Your Insurance Policy
The Certificate Your Insurer Needs
Is Ready on the Day.
Two things happen to your insurance when you have a Thatcham approved car tracker installation carried out by a TASSA registered installer like H-Track.
Your policy requirement is satisfied If your insurer has specified a tracker as a condition of cover the valid Thatcham installation certificate from H-Track satisfies that requirement on the day. No chasing documentation. No resubmitting because something is missing. A valid certificate issued by a registered installer, ready to send to your insurer before we leave your driveway.
Your premium may reduce Thatcham approved car tracker installation is recognised by UK insurers as a measurable reduction in theft risk and recovery time. The premium saving varies by insurer and vehicle but for high-value and high-risk vehicles it can be significant. H-Track’s recommendation is to call your insurer before booking your car tracker installation and ask specifically what reduction to expect once the certificate is provided, the answer will give you a clear picture of the financial return.
One important note, the certificate is only valid when the car tracker installation is carried out by a TASSA registered installer. H-Track are TASSA registered. Self-installation or installation by an unregistered fitter invalidates the Thatcham certification regardless of whether the product itself is approved.
Any Installer Can Fit a Car Tracker. Not All of Them Do It Right
Directly Employed Engineers. 20 Years Experience. Honest Advice Before You Commit.
The national tracker retailers you find online will send a subcontracted engineer, ship a device and issue a certificate. H-Track works differently and for car tracker installation the difference matters.
Every engineer who arrives at your car is a directly employed H-Track team member. DBS checked, fully trained and accountable to us and to you. Henry has over 20 years of vehicle security experience. He understands the tracker categories, the compatibility considerations across different makes and models and what a professional car tracker installation looks like when it is done correctly. Cheryll ensures the certificate is issued accurately and that everything your insurer needs is ready before the job is closed.
We will also tell you honestly which tracker your car needs before you book and if that honest answer is the less expensive option we will tell you that too. Our reputation is built on word of mouth referrals from existing customers. That only happens when people trust what we tell them.
Car Tracker Installation and Ghost 2 Immobiliser Together
Maximum Protection Combines Both.
A car tracker locates and recovers your car if it is stolen. A Ghost 2 immobiliser prevents it from being driven away in the first place, even if a thief has a cloned key or has relay attacked your fob signal. The two systems do different jobs and used together they address every stage of a professional theft attempt.
H-Track install both from the same directly employed team. If you are considering car tracker installation on a keyless or high-value car H-Track’s recommendation is to discuss the Ghost 2 immobiliser at the same time. One visit. One engineer. Two layers of protection.

FAQ

anything
What is car tracker installation?
Car tracker installation is the professional fitting of a Thatcham approved GPS tracking device to your car by a TASSA registered engineer. The tracker connects to your car's electrical system and communicates with a 24/7 professional monitoring centre that tracks your vehicle's location and alerts UK police in the event of a theft. H-Track provide car tracker installation across Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Merseyside, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Powys, Flintshire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire.
Which car tracker does my car need - S5 or S7?
H-Track's recommendation depends on three factors, your insurer's stated requirement, whether your car has keyless entry and your overall risk level. If your insurer has specified a category fit exactly that. If your car has keyless entry the S5 is the appropriate minimum regardless of policy wording, the S5's Automatic Driver Recognition directly counters relay theft which is the primary method used to steal keyless cars. For standard cars with traditional keys the S7 satisfies most insurance requirements and provides strong monitored protection. Call H-Track before booking and we will give you a clear honest recommendation.
Will car tracker installation reduce my insurance premium?
For many customers yes. Thatcham approved car tracker installation is recognised by UK insurers as measurable risk reduction. The saving varies by insurer, vehicle and tracker category but for high-value and high-risk vehicles it can be significant. H-Track recommend calling your insurer before booking to establish exactly what reduction to expect and we provide a full installation certificate on the day that your insurer needs to apply it.
How long does car tracker installation take?
Most car tracker installations take one to two hours. H-Track come to your home or workplace across all seven of our coverage regions. We demonstrate how the system works and hand over your Thatcham installation certificate before we leave.
Does car tracker installation affect my car warranty?
A professional car tracker installation carried out correctly — with no damage to factory wiring and all connections made to industry standards, should not affect your vehicle warranty. H-Track carry out all installations to this standard. If you have specific concerns about your manufacturer warranty we recommend checking with your dealer before booking.
Can I fit a car tracker myself?
No. Self-installation invalidates Thatcham certification and the installation certificate your insurer requires will not be valid. Car tracker installation must be carried out by a TASSA registered installer to produce a certificate your insurer will accept. H-Track are TASSA registered and every installation is carried out by a directly employed engineer.
Should I combine car tracker installation with a Ghost 2 immobiliser?
H-Track's recommendation for keyless and high-value cars is to consider the Ghost 2 immobiliser alongside your car tracker installation. A tracker recovers your car after it has been stolen. A Ghost 2 immobiliser prevents the engine from starting without a PIN sequence you choose, stopping the theft before it happens even if a thief has a cloned key. H-Track install both and will advise on the right combination for your car at no obligation.
What areas do H-Track cover for car tracker installation?
