The Best Mercedes Trackers

Car theft is an unfortunate reality for car owners in the UK. The threat of theft becomes even greater when you own a prestigious car model, like a Mercedes. Both the Mercedes C Class and Mercedes E Class graced the top 10 most stolen vehicles in the UK in 2022. Thieves target these high end models to resell or chop up and use for parts.

Installing a car tracker can help to protect your Mercedes against theft. With real time location tracking and 24 hour monitoring, a car tracker provides the best chance of recovering a stolen vehicle. Car trackers are so effective, some insurers will only cover your car if a tracker is installed.

Why do I need a Mercedes car tracker?

Car theft is becoming more and more common as thieves target vehicles to resell or use for parts. It was recently revealed that just 1.6% of car thefts ever lead to a criminal charge in London, with similarly low statistics nationwide. That means car owners are unlikely to see their vehicle returned or the thief brought to justice. 

Installing a Thatcham approved car tracker puts the odds back in the car owner’s favour. GPS tracking, 24 hour monitoring and anti-jamming technology massively increase the likelihood of recovering your car, in collaboration with police. 

How do Mercedes trackers work?

A Thatcham approved tracker uses GPS, VHF or other tracking technology to monitor your vehicle’s location. This is monitored 24 hours a day at a remote security centre. Once a theft is detected or reported, they will contact police and provide them with updates on the vehicle’s location, increasing the chance of interception and recovery.

A Thatcham approved Cat 5 car tracker provides even greater protection for your Mercedes. A Cat 5 car tracker also comes with a driver identification device, like a card, key fob or even your phone. This device must be present when the engine is started or the system will immediately alert to a theft. This leads to even faster intervention and greater chance of recovery.

What are the benefits of a Mercedes tracker?

Installing a Mercedes car tracker has many wide-ranging benefits. It can even lead to lower car insurance premiums, as insurers recognise it increases the chance of vehicle recovery and means they are less likely to have to pay out. It also gives car owners complete peace of mind, as they know their vehicle is safe and secure.

Do Mercedes cars have trackers?

Some Mercedes cars already come with a tracker already fitted, which can be activated on the Mercedes Me app. However, this does not protect your vehicle against theft. You are solely responsible for tracking your vehicle, whereas a Thatcham approved tracker is monitored 24 hours a day by security operatives. That means it could be hours or even days (if you are on holiday, for example) before you realise your vehicle has been stolen. This gives thieves the opportunity they need to get away.
