What sets the S5 apart
- Real-time GPS tracking — know your vehicle's location and movement history at any time.
- Driver recognition — TOTP tags identify who's driving, so the tracker can flag unauthorised use rather than just unauthorised movement.
- Instant alerts — if the vehicle moves without an authorised tag present, you're notified straight away.
- 24/7 monitoring — a manned control room watches for alerts around the clock, not just when you happen to check your phone.
Insurance and running costs
Many insurers offer premium discounts for vehicles fitted with a Thatcham-approved tracker, so the S5 can offset some or all of its £8.99 monthly fee over time — on top of the theft protection itself.
Who it suits
The S5 works for any vehicle, but the added driver recognition makes it a particularly good fit if you want to know not just that the car moved, but who moved it — useful for high-value vehicles, multi-driver households, or anyone parking somewhere higher-risk.

Do you fit nationwide?
Yes. More than 250 Thatcham-accredited engineers cover UK postcodes. Appointments are at home or work. Free fitting is available in major areas.
How fast is the certificate issued?
The official digital certificate is available in the app as soon as the engineer signs the job off.
