Eco Trak Navigation App

Download the Eco Trak Navigation App from the Apple or Android store and view your vehicle location and journey history. Here you can also set a GeoFence area to send an alert if the vehicle moves outside this ringed area.

The App also gives simple updates on the car's location and updates every few seconds. Although not as frequent as a self management tracker this is a nice feature to have.

Car Insurance Trackers

Car insurance trackers are designed to provide car tracking to Thatcham Approved standards. This system comes with ADR (Automatic Driver Recognition) tags and one of the updated difference of Thatcham Category 5 to Thatcham Cat S5 is that now these tags are allowed to have ring holes, and can be carried on the same key ring as the car keys. If the car is driven without the ADR tag then an alert is sent to the monitoring station.

ADR tags are primarily designed to protect against relay theft, key cloning and OBD theft as the unique tag must be present when driving the vehicle. The tags also protect the car from being towed away or loaded onto a transporter lorry. This is because it would trigger an alert at the control centre signalling that the vehicle location has changed without the tag being present.

How ADR Tags Combat Relay Theft

Relay theft is on the increase with cars being stolen easily and very quicky from driveways. This type of theft uses the keyless entry system of modern cars to read the key signals and obtain entry.

The ADR tag does not form part of the car system and therefore, although not preventing the vehicle from being taken, Vehicle Tracking Systems will mean an immediate alert is sent to the monitoring station informing that the tracker tag is not present.

What is a Car Tracker For Insurance?

An Insurance Tracker is a Thatcham approved device. It has been rigorously tested by the Motor Industry Research Centre based near Thatcham which is a Government backed body. Once Thatcham Approved systems can be used to comply with UK car insurance company requirements.

To maintain Thatcham and Insurance approval an ongoing monitoring subscription is required.
