What Are The Best Volkswagen Trackers?

Volkswagen are an iconic car brand, from the classic VW camper van to the new, electric ID 5 range. This means that they are also likely to be targeted by thieves, who will resell the vehicle or chop it for parts. Protect your VW against theft with a Thatcham approved car tracker.

 Volkswagen have their own We Connect app, so why do I need a car tracker, I hear you ask. Whilst the We Connect app offers a convenient way to find your car in a busy car park, it doesn’t do much to protect your car against theft.

The We Connect app has a ‘Parking Position’ feature that allows you to see where your car is parked, but wouldn’t be much help if it was stolen. You, the car owner, are solely responsible for tracking the car. That means if a thief stole your car whilst you were asleep, you wouldn’t know until you checked the app. Thatcham approved car trackers, on the other hand, are monitored 24 hours a day by a security centre. That means that no matter what time your car is stolen, they will see it and alert the police immediately.

As we’ve briefly discussed above, a Thatcham approved car tracker has a whole host of features to protect your VW. Take a look at the features of a category S7 car tracker below: 

  • GPS system - to monitor the vehicle’s location in real time.

  • Monitored 24/7 by a security centre - even if you’re asleep when thieves strike, operatives at the security centre will alert to a theft.

  • Vehicle motion detection - thieves may attempt to tow or roll a car, but motion sensing means the system will still alert to a theft.

Thatcham approved category S5 car trackers provide even more protection for your VW, as they come with a driver identification device. This protects your car against the growing threat of keyless car thefts, which highjacks wireless car key signals to open your car. The driver identification device overcomes this, because if the engine is started without the ID device, the system will alert to a theft.
