Factory Fit Cobra Tracking System.
« on: 25 May 2016, 21:41 »
Hi guys

I see on the VW site there is an extra to have a the factory fit cobra tracker system fitted, Is it worth it? does it reduce insurance by much?

Im looking for all good and bad points please.

Thanks

I'd personally put the money into prevention rather than detection.

Personally speaking, I wouldn't be without one. Just make sure you factor in the annual subscription.

My insurers insist on a tracker, had to fit one to my GTI and have ordered one with my R.

I don't want one. If my car gets stolen I'd rather not get it back. It's not like the thief is going to drive it carefully is it.

Think share that sentiment, will just have to endure the inconvenience of 16-20 week wait for it to be replaced.

Though the flipside is that these people have no care for the emotional damage they can cause on top of the huge amount of hassle also for honest hardworking folk, so you want them caught also.

Totally understand what people are saying but when my gti went GMP said if it had a tracker there'd be a 95% chance it'd be returned. That does help with insurance costs as I'm paying the price now. I suppose all insurance companies find a way to stick it to all of us though!
