Important
GPS tracking is designed to support stolen vehicle location and recovery. It does not prevent theft on its own, and outcomes depend on many factors including the circumstances of the incident, signal availability, and third-party response.
What’s included with our GPS tracker installation
We supply and fit insurance-recognised GPS tracking systems suited to your policy requirements and your vehicle’s use. Then, we provide confirmation of installation details that insurers commonly request.

- Driver recognition (S5): a driver ID tag is used to help confirm authorised use, where the selected product supports it

Thatcham & insurance guidance (S5 vs S7)
If you’re asking “Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance?”, the answer depends on your insurer and your policy wording. However, many insurers specify a Thatcham category, and they may also specify that an approved installer must fit the unit. Therefore, it’s best to confirm the exact requirement before booking.
- Thatcham S7: a tracking category designed to support stolen vehicle location and recovery through a Secure Control Centre.
- Thatcham S5: adds driver recognition to help verify authorised use, and it is commonly requested for higher-value vehicles.
Because insurer criteria vary, we will match the tracker category to what your insurer asks for, where applicable. Additionally, while a compliant tracker may be recognised by insurers, it does not guarantee acceptance, continued cover, or any premium change.
UK security notes for Mercedes-AMG SL63
UK-wide, model-specific theft data for the Mercedes-AMG SL63 is not widely published in publicly accessible police releases, so it is not possible to state an SL63-only risk level from official sources. However, broader UK reporting and police communications have referenced theft incidents involving high-value Mercedes vehicles, including AMG variants, and these tend to be discussed as part of wider high-end vehicle crime rather than as SL63-specific breakdowns. Additionally, public guidance around premium, keyless-equipped vehicles often advises owners to consider additional security layers, which may include insurer-recognised tracking, alongside other measures. Therefore, if your insurer flags the SL63’s value or specification, it is sensible to confirm whether they require Thatcham S5 or S7 specifically.
Tracking & recovery support (new install or existing system)
Some vehicles arrive with an existing tracker subscription that needs reactivation, while others need a fresh, hard-wired install. Either way, we can help you identify what’s fitted, confirm whether it meets an insurer’s category requirement, and then install a suitable Thatcham-approved unit where needed. For additional background on services and coverage, you can also refer to Vehicle Trackers Coventry.
Although GPS tracking is designed to support location and recovery via the Secure Control Centre, it does not prevent theft by itself. Nevertheless, quick reporting and accurate vehicle details can improve the chance of a timely response.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance on a Mercedes-AMG SL63?
It depends on your insurer and the policy terms. However, insurers often specify a Thatcham category (S5 or S7) for higher-value vehicles, and they may require professional installation evidence.
Which tracker is suitable: S5 or S7?
S7 is a tracking category designed to support location and recovery via a Secure Control Centre. S5 adds driver recognition, and insurers frequently request it for higher-value vehicles. Therefore, the correct choice is the one your insurer states in writing.
Will a tracker stop the vehicle being stolen?
No. GPS tracking is designed to support stolen vehicle tracking and recovery, but it does not prevent theft on its own. Outcomes can vary based on circumstances, coverage, and third-party response.
Is monitoring included?
Insurance-recognised trackers typically use a Secure Control Centre, and monitoring is provided through the tracker’s subscription. We can explain what’s included with the selected product and what you need to keep active.
Can you install a tracker if my insurer has very specific requirements?
Yes, in many cases. If you share the insurer’s requirement (for example, “Thatcham S5”), we can advise on a suitable unit and provide installation confirmation. However, the insurer makes the final decision on acceptance.
Do S5 trackers include driver recognition?
Yes, S5 category trackers include driver recognition as part of the category definition. The system uses an ID method to help confirm authorised use, and the Secure Control Centre can follow the relevant process if the vehicle is reported stolen.
Do you offer immobilisation?
Some insurance-approved tracker systems support optional immobilisation, and it is typically controlled via the Secure Control Centre under defined procedures. Availability depends on the chosen product and insurer acceptability.
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’ll confirm the tracker category and booking details in advance.
Note on subscriptions
Most insurance-recognised GPS trackers require an active subscription for Secure Control Centre monitoring. Subscription terms and renewal costs vary by product and provider.
