Important

GPS tracking supports visibility and recovery processes, however it does not prevent theft on its own. Always confirm your insurer’s exact tracker category requirement before purchase.

What’s included with our GPS tracker installation

We supply and fit insurance-recognised GPS tracking systems that are designed to integrate neatly with the Audi S8. Moreover, we focus on clear product selection so you can match the tracker category to your insurer’s wording.

Thatcham S5 vs S7 trackers and insurance requirements

If you’re asking “Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance?”, the answer depends on your policy and the vehicle’s risk profile. However, many UK insurers specify a Thatcham-approved tracker category for high-value vehicles, so it’s important to match the requirement exactly.

Because insurer wording varies, we recommend you check your documents for “S5” or “S7” (or “Thatcham-approved tracker”) before booking. Additionally, fitting a tracker does not guarantee an insurance discount or acceptance, as insurers assess multiple factors.

UK security notes for Audi S8

UK-wide, model-specific theft data for the Audi S8 is limited, because public police datasets and crime trackers rarely publish S8-only breakdowns. However, in UK insurance practice, high-end Audi models are often treated as higher-risk than average in insurer inventories, even when precise S8-only figures are not reliably published for 2026. Additionally, there has been at least one UK-reported incident involving an Audi S8 taken during a burglary at a home in Northampton, which shows that isolated cases do appear in local reporting. As a result, many owners focus on insurer-recognised measures such as Thatcham-approved tracking, alongside sensible day-to-day security habits, while still confirming the exact tracker category their policy requires.

Tracking and recovery support (new installs and existing systems)

If your Audi S8 already has a tracker, we can advise on whether it meets current insurer requirements, and we can discuss replacement where the category or subscription no longer matches your policy. Alternatively, we can supply and install a new hard-wired tracker that is designed for Secure Control Centre monitoring and ongoing support.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance on an Audi S8?

Some UK insurers request a Thatcham-approved tracker for high-value vehicles, while others do not. Therefore, you should check your policy schedule or ask your insurer whether they require S5 or S7 (or an “insurance-approved tracker”) for your Audi S8.

Which tracker category is suitable: S5 or S7?

S5 provides Secure Control Centre monitored tracking, while S7 typically adds driver recognition. However, suitability depends on your insurer’s wording and the specific tracker’s approval, so we align the recommendation to what your policy asks for.

Will a tracker stop my car being stolen?

No. A GPS tracker supports visibility and recovery processes, but it does not prevent theft on its own. Nonetheless, insurers may recognise approved tracking as part of a wider security approach.

Can you fit a tracker at my home or workplace?

Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton. Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop.

Does the tracker include Secure Control Centre monitoring?

Yes, insurance-approved S5 and S7 trackers are designed to work with a Secure Control Centre. Additionally, monitoring and response processes depend on the product and subscription you choose.

Is driver recognition included?

Driver recognition is typically associated with Thatcham S7 systems. Therefore, if your insurer specifies S7, we’ll guide you towards an approved option that includes the required driver ID feature.

Is immobilisation available?

Some insurance-approved systems support optional immobilisation, but availability depends on the specific tracker. Where supported, it is only activated under Secure Control Centre and police-controlled processes when permitted.

How do I know the tracker is insurance-recognised?

We supply Thatcham-approved tracker categories (S5/S7 where applicable) and we can help you match the product category to your insurer’s requirement. However, you should still confirm acceptance with your insurer, as policy terms can vary.

Note on insurance

Tracker requirements and acceptance can vary by insurer and policy. We can advise on suitable Thatcham categories, however the final decision on compliance sits with your insurer.
