Thatcham S5 Plus: GPS Tracker with Automatic Immobilisation
The Thatcham S5 Plus takes our S5 tracker and adds one major security layer: automatic immobilisation. It's a TSC597-compliant, insurer-approved GPS tracker with built-in "No Tag, No Start" protection — the vehicle simply won't start unless an authorised driver tag is present.

- Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) with immobilisation
- TOTP technology tags for secure driver identification

How the immobiliser works
Each authorised driver carries a TOTP tag. Without that tag present, the vehicle's engine is electronically prevented from starting — so even if a thief gets inside, they can't drive off. It's this "no tag, no start" behaviour that separates the S5 Plus from a tracker that only monitors location.
Real-time tracking and alerts
Alongside immobilisation, the S5 Plus keeps the same 4G real-time GPS tracking as the standard S5: if the vehicle is moved without authorisation, you get an instant alert, and our monitoring centre is watching around the clock to help with recovery.
Insurance and running costs
Because it combines Thatcham-approved tracking with immobilisation, the S5 Plus typically qualifies for stronger insurance discounts than tracking-only devices — often enough to offset some or all of the £9.99 monthly fee.
Installation and support
Fitting is done by a qualified technician, free of charge, at a time that suits you. Our support team is available if you have questions about setup or day-to-day use afterwards.
Who it suits
The immobiliser makes the S5 Plus the stronger choice if you want to stop a theft in progress, not just track it after the fact — a good fit for higher-value vehicles or anyone who wants the extra layer beyond tracking alone.

Common questions
Before you order a Thatcham tracker
How do I know if I need S7 or S5?
Read the tracker clause on your insurance schedule. If it only says Thatcham-approved, S7 usually meets it. If it names S5 or Category 5, fit S5 or S5 PLUS.
Will insurers accept the certificate?
Every system we supply is Thatcham-certified S7, S5 or S5 PLUS. A digital certificate is issued when the job is finished and is recognised by major UK insurers including Admiral, LV=, Direct Line, Aviva, AXA, Churchill and Hastings.
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.
What is the difference between S5 and S5 PLUS?
S5 adds Automatic Driver Recognition to the S7 tracking spec. S5 PLUS adds engine immobilisation on top of S5.
