How It Works
The Trackstar S5 iPRO is a Thatcham Category S5 approved GPS tracking and immobilisation system designed to protect your vehicle against the latest forms of car crime, including relay theft and key cloning. Using advanced Driver ID technology and a secure starter cut relay, it ensures that your vehicle cannot be started or driven away unless an authorised driver tag is present.
Once installed and activated, the system constantly monitors the status of your vehicle and its power supply. If movement, tampering or a suspected theft is detected, the 24/7 control centre is immediately alerted and can work alongside the police to help recover your vehicle quickly. The built-in backup battery means the system can continue to operate and report its location even if the main vehicle battery is disconnected.
Day to day, the system is simple to use. You just keep your Driver ID tag with you. When you approach and enter the vehicle, the Trackstar S5 iPRO recognises the authorised tag and allows the engine to start as normal. If a tag is not present, the immobilisation remains active and the vehicle will not crank, even if a thief manages to unlock the doors using a cloned or relayed key signal. Everything happens automatically in the background, so you get maximum protection with minimal effort.
How It Works
- Driver ID recognition:When the ignition is off, the system stays in a low power state and periodically scans for its paired Driver ID tags. As soon as a valid tag comes into range, the system prepares the starter relay to allow the vehicle to start.
- No Tag, No Start immobilisation:If the ignition is turned on without a valid tag detected, the immobilisation relay remains in the “cut” position and the engine will not crank. This blocks thieves who rely on relayed or cloned key signals to start the car without the genuine driver present.
- Secure starter cut relay:A dedicated relay is installed in the starter circuit in a covert location. When a recognised tag is present, the relay is energised and the starter circuit is complete. When no tag is detected, the relay opens the circuit to immobilise the vehicle.
- Real-time GPS tracking:The Trackstar S5 iPRO uses GPS and GSM to report the vehicle’s location in real time. This information is available through the monitoring centre and via the smartphone app, allowing you to view your vehicle’s position, journeys and status at any time.
- 24/7 monitored control centre:In the event of an alarm trigger, such as unauthorised movement, tow-away or tampering, the system sends an alert to the dedicated control centre. Trained operators can then contact you, assess the situation and liaise with the police to help recover the vehicle if a theft is confirmed.
- Battery and power monitoring:The unit continuously checks vehicle battery status. If the battery is disconnected or voltage drops unusually, the system generates a battery or power alert. The internal backup battery keeps the tracker working for a period of time even if the main supply is removed.
- Smartphone app access:The companion app allows you to see live location, review previous journeys, set up geofences and monitor alerts. This gives you full visibility of your vehicle’s movements and security, wherever you are.
- European tracking coverage:The Trackstar S5 iPRO uses multi-network GSM and GPS technology with European coverage, providing protection at home and abroad. If your vehicle is stolen and transported across borders, the system can still report its position to assist in recovery.
- Professional covert installation:Thatcham-approved installers fit the tracking unit, wiring loom, starter relay and antennas in discreet locations that are difficult to find or tamper with. All connections are tested and verified to ensure reliable operation and compliance with manufacturer and insurance requirements.
- Simple ownership and transfer:Once installed, you simply maintain your subscription to keep monitoring and immobilisation services active. If you change vehicle in the future, the system can be removed and transferred to your new car, subject to compatibility and reinstallation.
