CAT 5 Trackers

The Best CAT 5 Tracker for Your Vehicle

As of January 2019, Thatcham Category 5 trackers have been replaced with Thatcham Category S5 Trackers. If your insurance provider has requested that your vehicle is fitted with either an S5 Tracker or CAT 5 Tracker, then all the products in this category will be compatible with your vehicle.

CAT 5 FAQ's

IS A THATCHAM CAT 5 TRACKER INSURANCE APPROVED?

A CAT 5 tracker is insurance-approved in the sense that it bears a Thatcham accreditation. Thatcham regulates and categorises vehicle security and safety products, which fall in line with insurance requirements. The CAT 5 tracker is the highest-level vehicle theft recovery tracking system - therefore, proceeding with a CAT 5 tracker installation will most definitely be approved for insurance purposes.

HOW MUCH DOES A CAT 5 TRACKER COST?

The Thatcham CAT 5 tracker cost starts at £379 including fast mobile nationwide installation. Trackershop installs in every UK postcode and provides the quickest installation time for all vehicle security/Thatcham accredited products.

WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST CAT 5 TRACKER?

When it comes to the cheapest CAT 5 tracker product, the additional factor to consider is the ongoing subscription cost. If you would like the most cost-effective CAT 5 tracker option then a ScorpionTrack S5 tracker with unlimited duration of ownership subscription will be a really good move!

WHAT IS THE BEST CAT 5 TRACKER?

The best CAT 5 tracker for you really depends on your own needs. Regardless of the brand, all CAT 5 trackers need to adhere to the same stringent Thatcham criteria. However, each brand will have additional features that may appeal to your own requirements. Eg, the Tracker UK S5 PLUS has VHF technology, allowing your vehicle to be detected underground, in shipping containers etc. The Smartrack S5 iMob was specifically launched for electric vehicles, that also need an immobilisation feature.

Yes, we do! Trackershop provides speedy mobile Thatcham CAT 5 tracker installation UK wide!

DO ALL CAT 5 TRACKERS HAVE IMMOBILISATION?

When it comes to CAT 5 / S5 PLUS trackers, what makes them different to standard S5 trackers is that they have some kind of additional security that is not part of the Thatcham accreditation. Predominantly this is an immobiliser feature. Whether this is driver controlled or remote control room activated. However, the TRACKER UK S5 PLUS does not feature an immobiliser but has VHF tracking capabilities instead. This means that your vehicle can be tracked in an emergency, even if it has entered a signal-blocking container or is hidden underground.
