Insurance / tracker

[nelly111s]

I’m in the process of getting insurance quotes for a V6 Manual.
Just for info, a few insurers (in the UK) will not insure without a tracker. LV and Direct Line Select for sure.

Also, anyone had a tracker fitted post delivery? Any recommendations?

I added the ScorpionTrack S5 PLUS. Think it's the same as Lotus fit, but with an immobiliser. The main benefit of this one is that an iPhone works as the token.

I've had to call them once so far (In 7,000 miles) for a reboot when car wouldn't start.

When parked in areas with a poor phone reception (For me it's been the Highlands), I sometimes get a theft alert call, but it's just a case of pressing a number when they call to clear it. The app is pretty good too.

I further to this, Direct Line Select won’t insure without a tracker, but with one fitted, they are £120 cheaper than any other via the comparison sites (all those without tracker).

I specced the factory tracker, my thinking being it would avoid any restrictions on who would insure me and, being factory fitted, it would be better integrated than aftermarket.
(Although, seeing where it‘s located, I could have fitted it myself. Whilst blindfolded!)

btw, the phone-as-token works fine with the factory fit.
