Mercedes-AMG E63 S Insurance Approved Tracker
Professional Retrofits Ltd supplies and installs Thatcham-approved GPS tracking systems for performance vehicles, including the Mercedes-AMG E63 S insurance approved tracker, and every installation is Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton.

Additionally, depending on the tracker type and insurer requirements, systems may include driver recognition and, where approved, optional immobilisation that is controlled through the Secure Control Centre in line with police guidance.

Installer notes
This page covers GPS tracker supply and installation only. We do not describe concealment locations or provide technical instructions that could undermine vehicle security.
What’s included with our GPS tracker installation
Our service centres on supplying an insurer-recognised tracker and fitting it to a professional standard, so the system can support monitoring and recovery processes if needed. Moreover, we keep the approach practical and tailored to how you use the vehicle.
- Thatcham-approved GPS tracker supply: We can advise on S5 or S7 options based on your policy wording and vehicle requirements.
- Hard-wired installation: A permanent install designed to integrate neatly with the vehicle and support long-term reliability.
- Secure Control Centre support: Monitoring is provided via a Secure Control Centre to help coordinate tracking and recovery actions when appropriate.
- Driver recognition (where applicable): S5 systems typically include driver recognition, which insurers may request for higher-risk or higher-value vehicles.
- Optional immobilisation (where applicable): Some insurance-approved systems support immobilisation; however, it is only used under Secure Control Centre control and in line with police guidance.
- Handover guidance: We explain the day-to-day basics, including app/portal access where relevant, without sharing sensitive security details.
Although GPS tracking can support visibility and recovery, it does not prevent theft on its own. Therefore, it should be considered one element within a wider security approach.
Thatcham, S5 vs S7, and insurer requirements
Insurers often specify a Thatcham-approved tracker category, so choosing the right type matters. In general, Thatcham S7 (formerly “Category 6”) provides vehicle tracking without driver recognition, while Thatcham S5 (formerly “Category 5”) adds driver recognition and is commonly requested for higher-value or higher-performance vehicles.
However, your policy wording should lead the decision, because insurers can differ in what they accept. If your insurer asks for “Thatcham S5” specifically, then an S7 may not meet that requirement. Likewise, if your insurer allows S7, you may not need the extra driver recognition layer. We can help you interpret the wording, but you should always confirm acceptance directly with your insurer before booking.
UK security notes for Mercedes-AMG E63 S
UK police-record datasets released under FOI have listed AMG E63 S 4MATIC+ among Mercedes entries recorded in vehicle-theft incidents, which indicates this model has appeared in theft records in some forces. However, comprehensive UK-wide statistics at exact trim level are not consistently published, so these records should be read as indicative rather than a complete national picture. Separately, UK reporting has highlighted unauthorised access risks affecting some keyless-entry luxury vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz variants, which helps explain why insurers may set stricter security conditions for high-performance cars. Consequently, many owners of vehicles in this category are asked to consider an insurer-recognised tracking system as part of their cover requirements.
Tracking, recovery support, and account setup
If you already have a compatible subscription or monitoring arrangement, we can discuss whether it can be linked to a new installation. Alternatively, we can supply and fit a new hard-wired tracker and help ensure it is set up for Secure Control Centre monitoring, so it is ready to support recovery processes if required.

Ready to check tracker suitability for your insurance?

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance on a Mercedes-AMG E63 S?
Some insurers may require a Thatcham-approved tracker for higher-performance or higher-value vehicles, while others may not. Therefore, check your policy documents or ask your insurer for the exact wording (for example, S5 or S7) before booking.
Which tracker is suitable: Thatcham S5 or S7?
It depends on what your insurer asks for. S7 provides tracking without driver recognition, whereas S5 includes driver recognition and is often specified by insurers for higher-risk categories. If your insurer specifies S5, an S7 usually will not meet that requirement.
Will a tracker stop my car being stolen?
No. A tracker is designed to support location visibility and recovery processes via a Secure Control Centre, but it does not prevent theft on its own. Consequently, it works best as part of a wider security approach.
Is immobilisation included?
Some insurance-approved systems may support immobilisation, but availability depends on the tracker type and insurer acceptance. Where provided, immobilisation is controlled via the Secure Control Centre and used in line with police guidance.
What is driver recognition and when is it needed?
Driver recognition is commonly associated with Thatcham S5 systems and helps the monitoring centre confirm authorised use. Insurers may request it for certain vehicles or policies, so it is best to follow the requirement stated in your documents.
Where is the tracker fitted?
Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton. For security reasons, we do not publish or discuss specific installation locations online.
How long does installation take?
Times vary depending on the tracker type and vehicle requirements. However, we will confirm an estimated appointment duration when you enquire, so you can plan your day accordingly.
Will you provide documentation for my insurer?
Yes, we can provide confirmation of the installed tracker specification and installation where applicable. However, insurers set their own acceptance criteria, so you should confirm with them that the chosen system meets your policy requirement.
Important
Insurance requirements vary by provider and policy. Always confirm tracker category and acceptance with your insurer before installation.
