Scorpion Auto tracker registration

[VT24SEP]

Hello All, I am new to the forum and have already learnt astonishing amount of stuff here - grateful to the ones who created the space and all the members who share so much.

After scanning through the forum, I couldn't find a solution for Scorpio tracker issue I have (UK). I have all the paperwork and the fobs etc. but the dealer says, call Scorpion auto to register, Scorpion says call Lotus as its manufacturer installed , Lotus says ask dealer and scorpion also says that Lotus need to assign it to the car, only then, will they see it on their system. Finally, Lotus call center says, we don't have a clue, it should be Scorpion. There is a email address and phone on scorpion card in the car but that doesn't work. In a nutshell, has anyone my head is spinning - after going around in circles

Has anyone faced this and is there a way to get the device registered ?

My opinion is - both Scorpion & the dealer are at fault here and could do more to assist. Which dealership are you using?

I experienced a similar issue with my Emira, although I had the tracker details and the Lotus login + account set up. I rang scorpion and they attempted to ping the car, but it didn't respond. Scorpion then came out and replaced the tracker for free and made sure the app was set up and fully functioning.

This is what I used and my tracker and fob are all working. https://scorpiontrack.com/new-vehicle-owner/

Have to say my dealer (Lotus Silverstone) did all this for me. Even showed me it all working on the App on day of pick up. I would go back to the dealer.

This ===^^ for a quick fix and since a recent app update the phone tag option doesn't work in conjunction with Apple CarPlay (there's now a note in the app to that effect) so expect (has your car been nicked!) calls if you don't have the physical tag with you.....

My Dealer (Lotus Essex) set it all up. They are also Scorpion fitters so know what to do.
I got the Lotus Scorpion account details 4 days before I picked the car up and installed the app straight away. Make sure you install the Lotus Vehicle Tracker app rather than Scorpion's own app.
I even tracked my car being taken to a petrol station on the morning of pickup.

None of the above helps you but maybe give Lotus Essex a call to see if they can offer any advice?

The email address on my ScorpionTrack card is customercare@lotuscars.com and I read elsewhere someone saying that one doesn't work anymore. The customer care email address on the Lotus website is ukcustomercare@eu.lotuscars.com so I'm assuming this replaced the previous one and the tracker cards are old ones being used up.

Interestingly the Scorpion website has a slightly different telephone number to use in case of theft (01257 240 945) to the one on the card (01257 249 945). Maybe a typo on the website?

The dealer is B&C near leatherhead. They called Scorpion technical helpline after I couldn't get anything to work. Finally, sorted the techies were able to activate and I was able to login in just now. Thank you!

That's the dealer I use. I didn't purchase from there, so only had experience with the service dept - (Phil Marking) and so far he's been excellent and very helpful!

Anyway, glad you've got it sorted.

A very helpful tip on the "correct APP" - as the Scorpion app wasn't accepting my details. Regarding number for tech support i called (01257249928) and that team was efficient.

I had the same issue. As pointed out by someone else you need to ignore the Scorpion app and use the Lotus app instead.

 

[VT24SEP]

Thanks , all sorted. Series of snags and redundant emails and phone numbers on the paperwork didn't help.

Had my Emira 3 days - what Tracker/Scorpion paperwork did you get? (because I got nothing).

I have the card and 2 key fobs.

Attempting to log in to the website lotus.scorpiontrack.com doesn't recognise my 'lotus registered' email address.

Password reset claims to have emailed me (tried that just in case) but received nothing.

Cheers

Hi There - Give the Scorpion Tracker help line a call on 01257 249928, this worked for me as was in the same situation.

Cheers - and off topic, but did you get an owners manual other than the 3 booklets?

Cheers - yes I'd stumbled across that post looking for the manual

The sales guy at Manchester (Adrian, he's a good guy) said the manual is in the car HMI - but I've not found it if it is...

I had the same issue as you and those logon details etc are redundant. After a bit of back and forth with dealer the technical team at scorpion track was able to find the car. All i finally did was to email the reg number of car, the pictures of barcodes on the scorpion fob keys and any other codes on the card to
technical@scorpionauto.com

They were quick to check the setup and activate . They called me and asked me to drive around so they can see it's working on their system and activate. I hope that works

 

[meenboli]

They sorted it yesterday - all I have to do is start up the car - which I did last night.

Nothing has happened as yet, but I was sat in my garage so it's not had change to get a GPS fix yet.

I'll try this weekend, rain permitting...

Mine was sorted today
Bought the car 2nd hand, so was a bit messy getting it set up, as the previous owner was Lotus and they never activated it. Does mean I get a full 12 months subscription though

One Q for those using the App. Anyone have issues with the App crashing on Android? Done all the obvious things, force stopped the app, restarted the phone, but it still crashes after about 15secs

Pretty sure you get 12 months from initial activation - which happens when the first signal contact is made (that's what it says in the emails I received from Scorpion).
