Audi make some truly incredible cars, from the classic Audi A4 to the innovative e-tron range; they’re the kind of cars that you’re proud to park on your driveway. Unfortunately, this also makes them attractive to thieves, who know they’ve got a sure market for stolen Audi’s and car parts. That’s why it’s important to install a car tracker and protect your vehicle against theft.
Why you need a car tracker for your Audi
Thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated, as techniques like keyless car theft enable them to steal cars without so much as setting off an alarm. Thatcham approved car trackers provide the best chance of recovering a stolen vehicle. That’s why many insurers now require car owners to install a car tracker on premium vehicles like Audi’s.
Thatcham approved S7 car trackers are monitored 24/7 by a remote security centre. Operators monitoring the tracker will alert to any unusual movement of the car and inform police. They can then provide updates on the vehicle’s location to police, helping them to intercept and recover the vehicle.
Thatcham approved S5 car trackers provide even more protection, as they come with an automatic driver recognition device. An ADR device must be present when you start the vehicle, or the remote security centre will immediately alert to a theft and contact police. That means there’s an even faster response and more chance of recovering the vehicle.
Do Audi’s have trackers?
Whilst many modern Audi’s do come with a GPS tracker installed, this provides relatively little protection against theft. The Audi Track system is great for improving driver performance, but you are solely responsible for monitoring your vehicle’s location. That means that if thieves steal your car at 3AM, it could be hours before you realise it is missing and attempt to track it. This gives thieves the chance to remove the tracking system, block the signal or chop your car for parts. That’s why it’s much better to choose a Thatcham approved tracker, which will alert to theft immediately and provide the best chance of recovery.
