Fitting a stolen vehicle tracker is one of the most effective ways to protect a car, but the quality of installation is just as important as the device itself. Even the most advanced tracker will not perform properly if it has been fitted incorrectly or placed in an easily accessible location. Choosing a professional tracker installer ensures the system works as intended, provides accurate location data and remains discreet enough to prevent tampering.
With Trackerfit, the price of professional installation is already included in the cost of the tracker. There are no hidden fitting charges, which means customers know exactly what they are paying for from the outset. Trackerfit is also accredited by TASSA (Tracking and Aftermarket Security Systems Association), which is the recognised industry standard for vehicle tracker installation.
The Importance of Correct Installation
A vehicle tracker relies on several key components, including GPS antennas, power connections and communication modules, all of which must be positioned and wired correctly to function as they should. Poor installation can lead to weak signal reception, inaccurate tracking data or intermittent connection loss, which can reduce the effectiveness of the entire system.
Professional installers have the technical knowledge needed to integrate the tracker safely with a vehicle’s electrical system, and they know how to position and conceal components to avoid interference from metal panels or other electronics. This level of care ensures the tracker maintains a strong and stable connection with the monitoring centre and recovery teams, even in challenging environments. The TASSA accreditation ensures that installations adhere to the highest standards.
Protecting Warranty and Insurance Compliance
A certified engineer must fit many insurance-approved tracking systems to meet policy requirements. This is particularly important with Thatcham-approved trackers, where installation standards form a core part of the certification. Attempting a self-install can void the device’s warranty and may lead to an insurance claim being rejected if the tracker fails to perform during a theft.
By choosing an approved installer such as Trackerfit, customers remain fully compliant with insurance requirements and receive documented proof of professional fitting. This can be passed on to insurers as evidence that the system meets all the required standards for coverage, giving drivers peace of mind that their investment is fully protected.
The Value of Discreet Installation
When installing a tracker, it is essential that the device remains hidden and secure. Experienced thieves can quickly locate and remove a visible or poorly concealed device, undermining the entire security system.
Engineers who specialise in tracker installation understand how to place the unit in secure and hard-to-reach locations. Larger vehicles, such as vans and 4x4s, can present additional challenges, and different mounting positions may be needed to maintain strong signal strength without compromising concealment. Trackerfit engineers assess each vehicle individually to select the most effective location for security, accessibility and performance.
Integration with Modern Vehicle Systems
Modern vehicles are fitted with complex electronics, infotainment systems and advanced driver assistance features. Installing a tracker safely requires a clear understanding of how these systems interact to avoid conflicts or battery drain. Professional installers use manufacturer data and diagnostic tools to ensure the device is connected correctly and does not interfere with existing functions.
Trackerfit’s engineers are trained to work on all major makes and models. Their experience allows them to fit devices confidently without affecting other onboard systems, ensuring both safety and full compatibility with the vehicle.
Post-Installation Testing and Verification
Once installation is complete, the tracker undergoes thorough testing to confirm it is working correctly. Installers check that the unit is connecting with the monitoring centre, transmitting accurate location data and triggering alerts as expected.
Customers are also given a clear demonstration of how the system works, including setting up mobile apps, receiving alerts and monitoring their vehicle effectively. This practical handover ensures the owner understands the system and can make full use of its features from day one.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Even after the installation is complete, ongoing support plays an important part in keeping the system reliable. Trackerfit provides aftercare services that include device health checks, battery inspections and subscription renewals to ensure long-term performance.
If any issues arise, customers can access technical support directly without the need for third-party intervention. This helps maintain system reliability and ensures continued protection.
