Meta Trak S5 Tracker
Thatcham Category S5 approved tracking, so you can find your car if it's ever taken, and your insurer recognises it too.
How the S5 works
The S5 is a GPS/GSM tracker, fitted discreetly into your vehicle and connected to Meta Trak's 24/7 monitored control room. Every vehicle gets a small driver ID tag, carry it, and the system knows you're the authorised driver. If the car moves without the tag present, an alert is raised immediately and the control room contacts you directly to confirm whether it's genuine or a theft in progress.
Unlike a PIN immobiliser, the S5 doesn't stop someone from starting the engine, its job is recovery, not prevention. If the worst happens, live location data means the police have a real chance of getting the vehicle back before it's stripped or shipped abroad, rather than relying on it ever turning up.
This is a Thatcham Category S5 device specifically, the insurance-recognised standard that many policies for higher-value or higher-risk vehicles require or reward with a lower premium. Worth checking your own policy wording.

Questions about the S5
Does it stop the car being stolen?
No, the S5 is a recovery device, not an immobiliser. It won't prevent theft, but it gives you and the police a real chance of getting the car back afterwards. Many owners pair it with a Ghost or Scorpion X for prevention as well as recovery.
Is there an ongoing cost?
Yes, the £550 covers fitting and the hardware. The monitoring subscription that powers the 24/7 control room and live app is billed separately by Meta Trak.
How long does fitting take?
Around one to two hours, at your home or workplace.
