Well - why don't you phone Tracker directly, and ask them to divulge commercially sensitive security information details, oh, and while you are on the dog, don't forget to tell them that you will then publish that sensitive info on a public web forum! 
Take it from me - it WORKS!
What a thoroughly ridiculous rant.
Why - - - - just because I have a little common sense, and don't want to post detail of a security system, you try to ridicule me !!!
IÂ’d assumed it was something that anyone with a Tracker would be aware of, therefore in no way “commercially sensitiveÂâ€Â. IÂ’m not asking for a detailed schematic breakdown of the system, but a driverÂ’s experience of using it.
Then your assumption is very wrong! A Tracker unit is a "fit and forget" item. It requires absolutely no intervention from the driver at all. Furthermore, the owner/driver is prohibited from actually knowing where the unit is located within the car.
So - to answer your specific query re: "driverÂ’s experience of using it" - there is NO drivers experience!
The HorizonÂ’s section on the website notes that the unit contacts Tracker HQ if illegal movement is detected, and then Tracker HQ contact the vehicle owner. From this I took that the driver doesnÂ’t have to tell them if the car is stolen, it is the other way around.
What is written on the Tracker web site is perfectly clear and accurate. What don't you understand? ALL current Trackers automatically detect and notify for unathorised movement, without ANY owner/driver intervention.
What I wondered was does the driver somehow deactivate the unit when he gets in the car by identifying himself as the legal owner?
There is no "deactivation" of the Tracker unit. It automatically knows when the car is being used legitimately, and when it is not - and responds accordingly.
Otherwise, how does the car know what movement is illegal?
It just knows - that is why Tracker are so good, and where their so-called competators products blatantly fall down!
If you have to call them, then the car doesnÂ’t detect illegal movement at all, and it doesnÂ’t make any sense that they later call you to check something youÂ’ve already told them about.
Where did that come from?
The only instances where
you need to call Tracker first are as follows:
a/ you own the original (now discontinued) Retrieve unit (which never did claim to detect illegal movement),
b/ your car keys have been stolen,
c/ you wish to request a "lock-down".
Any other unathorised movement, on all the current Tracker models, and they call you first.
None of this is commercial sensitive in any way, and it wonÂ’t compromise anyoneÂ’s safety. Anyone who owns a system will know the solution, so it is within the public domain. If explaining how a driver interacts with the unit compromises the system, then itÂ’s a total waste of time and not worth a penny.
OK, I say again, phone Tracker directly, and demand they give you detailed info on their Tracker units, so that you can post the info on a public web site. Their polite answer will be something like "commercially sensative", or "security sensative", or similar phrases. When you end the said fone conversation, then phrases begining and ending with the letter "F" may be targeted to you!
