VW CRAFTER Volkswagen Grand California Insurance Approved Tracker
Professional Retrofits Ltd supplies and installs Thatcham-approved GPS tracking for customers who want a VW CRAFTER Volkswagen Grand California insurance approved tracker, fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton.

Workshop fitting only (Nuneaton)
Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton. Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop. This service page covers GPS tracker installation only.
What’s included with our GPS tracker installation
We supply an insurance-recognised GPS tracking system and install it at our workshop. Then, we set it up so it can report location and status to the monitoring network, and we confirm the basics with you at handover.
- Supply and installation of a Thatcham-approved GPS tracker (model depends on requirements)
- Secure Control Centre support designed to assist with stolen vehicle tracking and recovery after a theft is reported
- Driver recognition (where required) for S5-grade solutions, using approved methods
- Optional immobilisation only where the product is insurance-approved and the function is controlled via the monitoring centre process
- Documentation to support your records and insurer conversations
However, please note that tracking improves visibility and recovery support; it does not prevent theft on its own.
Thatcham approval, S5 vs S7, and insurance expectations
Insurers often ask for a Thatcham-approved tracker because it follows recognised standards for monitored tracking. Therefore, we typically discuss S5 and S7 options based on how the vehicle is used and what your insurer requests.
- Thatcham S7: monitored tracking designed to support location reporting and recovery assistance via a Secure Control Centre.
- Thatcham S5: includes monitored tracking and driver recognition, which can help confirm authorised use when required by an insurer.
Because insurer requirements vary, we recommend you confirm the exact category your policy asks for before booking. Additionally, fitting a compliant tracker may help meet policy conditions, but it does not guarantee acceptance, a claim outcome, or a premium change.
Tracking and recovery support (new installs and existing systems)
If your vehicle already has a tracker, we can discuss whether it can be supported, re-registered, or replaced, depending on the brand and condition. Alternatively, we can install a new, hard-wired, insurance-approved unit and set it up for monitoring so that it supports recovery processes if the vehicle is reported stolen.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance?
Some policies request an insurance-approved tracker as a condition of cover, especially for higher-value vehicles. Therefore, it’s best to check your policy wording or ask your insurer which Thatcham category they require (often S5 or S7).
Which tracker is suitable for VW CRAFTER Volkswagen Grand California?
Suitability depends on insurer requirements and how the vehicle is used. For example, if your insurer specifies driver recognition, an S5 tracker is commonly requested; otherwise, an S7 tracker may meet the requirement. We will confirm options before booking.
Where can I get a GPS tracker fitted near me?
Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton. Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop, and we install and set up the tracker during a booked appointment.
Will a tracker stop my vehicle being stolen?
No. A tracker supports location visibility and can assist recovery via a Secure Control Centre after a theft is reported. However, it does not prevent theft on its own.
What is a Secure Control Centre?
It is a monitoring centre that receives alerts and location data from the tracker. Then, when appropriate, it can support the stolen vehicle recovery process in line with the service terms and relevant procedures.
What’s the difference between S5 and S7?
S7 is monitored tracking designed to support recovery, while S5 adds driver recognition to help confirm authorised use. Therefore, S5 is often requested when an insurer wants that additional verification.
Can you fit a tracker if my vehicle already has one?
Yes, we can discuss the existing system and whether it can be supported, re-registered, or replaced. However, compatibility and condition vary by brand, so we will confirm what is practical before your appointment.
Do you offer mobile fitting?
No. This is a workshop-based service only. Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton, and customers bring their vehicle to our workshop.
Important: GPS tracking supports vehicle location visibility and recovery assistance. It does not prevent theft and it does not guarantee an insurance discount or claim acceptance.
