Has anyone had Trackstar or Autowatch Tracker (not Ghost) fitted and if so are they worth the installation and subscription costs.

Now BMW have sorted the keyless ‘scanner’ threat - are trackers still worth it ?

If you want to do it in a cheap way, you can find something like "GPS tracker" from Amazon, which you insert a PAYG SIM card, and hide it somewhere inside the car. It has built-in battery, about the size of a USB power bank. You only pay for your SIM card, no subscriptions.

In its descriptions, it says if something happened, you can send a text message to that SIM card number, it will then reply back with its current GPS location.

I didn't buy it, don't know if it works well or not. I bought the GAP insurance instead. If you have one, please share with us if this type of mobile tracker works well.

I am still thinking about it. I get the car in about 2 weeks (it’s just finished production).
I enquired about Gap insurance and they said speak to the dealer. How much did you pay and for how many years cover

I pushed the sales to throw in with no additional cost. They said they have to show the full value on the invoice, as well as the paint protection. Give it a try.
