AUTOCOM GPS TRACKER

Post by guest2360 »

Just seen one of these.  They look easy to install and having no contract look very good value at £129.  Anybody fitted one yet. Not sure about battery drain from it.

Had a tracker fitted to my Multistrada. Haven't bothered with the RT.  Something tells me it's less likely to get nicked.  Am I wrong?

Don't  think you are, however one of my 1100 RTs came up on BMWs computer as stolen sometime after I had sold it. Am I not right in believing that with trackers you normally have to take out a contract.  Not so with this one so should make it more affordable.

I had a contract on my last one.  It worked well but I reckon the Autocom one does all the same things, apart from having somebody call you up.


Wonder where you could hide it effectively on the RT?

If you're comparing with http://www.tracker.co.uk/ then there is a difference in the way it works, even if tracker does not have a GPS signal due to been underground, in a container etc it can still be found by the VHF signal it transmits with Police vehicles installed with Tracker receivers which shows direction from police vehicle and signal strength.

Easily hidden I've been told.  More details can be made available in a pm.
