With car theft rates up 56% in recent years in England and Wales, major insurers are often asking if vehicles have tracking systems installed as a condition of providing you with cover. Almost half of all recorded thefts in recent years have involved criminals entering vehicles through an unlocked door, up from just 13% in 2006.
The growing issue of keyless theft – where criminals use relay devices to trick cars into thinking the legitimate key is nearby – now risks becoming standard practice.
Advancements in telematics technology, such as Vodafone Protect & Connect tracking systems, are at the forefront of countering these trends. By providing industry-leading, specialist stolen vehicle tracking protection, you can rest assured that if the worst does happen, there’s unparalleled support on hand to retrieve your vehicle as quickly as possible.
These systems use the latest GPS/ GPRS/GSM technology, providing pinpoint accuracy and unrivalled service levels, with recovery of vehicles via police liaison conducted in local language through Vodafone Automotive network of Secure Operating Centres across 52 countries globally.

Category 7 Insurance Approved Tracking
When you park your vehicle up, a real-time location report is produced using GPS satellite networks. The S7 works on unauthorised movement, so if the vehicle is parked up with the ignition off and it is moved/towed, or has a battery disconnect, a trigger is immediately actioned to the control centre who will contact you.
Professional Installation
We offer a mobile fitting service across the whole of the UK which means that it is much more flexible and can be fitted at your work or home, whichever is more convenient. All our engineers are fully trained, certified and licensed installers giving you peace of mind when having the tracker installed.
Alerts and Notification

The tracker supply in this application is fully transferable to your next vehicle. The benefit is, that you only have an uninstall and install cost, saving money on buying a new tracker.

We offer flexible subscriptions that will make it easy to fit your budget – whether you are someone who has one vehicle, or you manage a fleet of vehicles, we can find the perfect solution. We offer subscriptions from annually, 3 years and 5 years.
*(Subscription and tracker can be transferred from vehicle to vehicle)
Monitored Alarm Center with 24/7 Level 1 Police response
The Control Centre’s are monitored 24/7 so should there be any thefts, you can contact them round the clock. Equally, if there are any tampering, battery disconnect alerts or indeed any unauthorised movement they will be in contact, even if it’s the early hours.
Unauthorised Movement Sensing
The Control Centre will contact you to ask for confirmation that the vehicle is secure if it is moved without the ignition on.
High Theft Recovery Rate
We have achieved some high recovery rates with our device partners and are working tirelessly to try and make it more difficult for the criminals.
Geo Fencing
With the app, if the tracker you have installed supports Geo Fencing, you can set a virtual border around the vehicle, so that if the vehicle breaches this border, you will be alerted immediately.
Recognised by all major insurers
We are recognised by the major insurers as a trusted partner, having been in the business for many years and have worked alongside this sector providing vehicle security to the highest of standards. Our team are all highly trained and certified meaning you will always get experienced installers.
Speed Alerts
As the name suggests, the GPS works to keep track of the vehicle and detects when you are speeding and will alert you.
Route History
You can go back as far as 1 year to check what routes you have taken with the majority of our tracking devices. Helpful if you need to recall where you parked, or which journey you took.
International Roaming Network
Our products use roaming, multi-network SIMS which means that if you take your vehicle abroad it will select the strongest network to connect to.
Location Request
If you are away from the vehicle and want to get back to where you parked, you can request the location in the app to guide you back to the car. If, however, you have parked in an underground car park, GPS tracking can only get you close to where the GPS signal was lost as you drove underground.
12 and 24 Volts
If you are away from the vehicle and want to get back to where you parked, you can request the location in the app to guide you back to the car. If, however, you have parked in an underground car park, GPS tracking can only get you close to where the GPS signal was lost as you drove underground.
Battery and anti Tamper Monitoring
Every tracking device has a built-in battery backup which kicks in when the tracking devices main power source has been cut off or someone disconnects the battery. An alert will be sent by the Control Centre should the battery be disconnected.
Very High Frequency or VHF refers to the radio frequency range between 30 MHz and 300 MHz. In vehicle tracking, VHF technology utilises these radio frequencies for communication and tracking.
VHF trackers are better in many respects as they keep transmitting signals to strategically placed ground stations. One of the most promising features is that VHF trackers provide a precise location.
Yes, there is an annual subscription fee for all trackers. Either we collect the annual subscription fee, or the tracker user has to pay it to the tracker manufacturer.
Please note that the tracker will not operate unless you buy a subscription plan. This fee is charged because the tracker manufacturer or supplier monitors your car 24/7/365.
In most cases, you will be informed by the tracker company if your vehicle gets stolen. In some cases, you will have to call the given phone number to inform the tracker company immediately after you find out about the theft.
