Workshop fitting information

Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop. Please contact us to check availability, discuss tracker category requirements, and book a suitable fitting slot.

What’s included with our GPS tracker installation service

We supply and fit Thatcham-approved GPS tracking systems selected around your vehicle and your insurer’s requirements. Then, we configure the core features so you can use the service as intended, including access to the tracking app/portal where applicable.

Because different brands and categories vary, we confirm exactly what’s included before booking. Additionally, we can advise on ongoing subscription costs and account setup, as these form part of most insurance-recognised tracking services.

Thatcham categories and insurance suitability (S5 vs S7)

Insurers typically refer to Thatcham Tracker categories when they specify an “approved” GPS tracking requirement. Therefore, choosing the correct category matters as much as the installation itself.

However, insurer requirements vary by policy, postcode, and underwriting criteria, so we recommend confirming the required category with your insurer before you book. Additionally, GPS tracking supports visibility and recovery coordination, yet it does not prevent theft on its own.

Tracking and recovery support (new installs and existing systems)

If your vehicle already has a tracker, we can discuss whether it remains active, subscription-backed, and suitable for your insurer; then we can advise on next steps. Alternatively, we can supply and install a new hard-wired Thatcham-approved tracker and help you get set up with the provider’s monitoring and app access. For more background on our tracker services, you can also visit Vehicle Trackers Coventry.

Because recovery processes depend on the tracker provider and the Secure Control Centre, we focus on correct installation, correct category selection, and clear handover information. Moreover, we encourage customers to keep subscription details up to date so the service remains active.

Why professional GPS tracker installation matters for Lexus IS 500 F Sport

A Lexus IS 500 F Sport insurance approved tracker needs more than a basic power connection; it also needs careful placement, stable operation, and correct commissioning with the monitoring service. Therefore, professional installation helps reduce the risk of faults, nuisance alerts, or poor GPS performance. Additionally, insurers may expect evidence that the device is a recognised category and is installed to the provider’s standards, so we ensure the installation supports those expectations without overpromising outcomes.

What to expect on the day (workshop appointment)

Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop, and we confirm the agreed tracker category before work starts. Then we complete the installation, carry out commissioning checks with the tracker provider where applicable, and run through the app/portal access at handover. Although fitting times vary by tracker type and vehicle condition, we will give you an expected timeframe when you book. Finally, we provide guidance on what to tell your insurer, including the tracker category and any reference details the provider supplies.

Why choose Professional Retrofits Ltd

We focus on insurer-recognised GPS tracking systems and consistent installation quality. Moreover, we keep the process straightforward, from confirming the correct Thatcham category to explaining subscriptions and handover steps.

Next step: confirm the right tracker category for your insurer

If you are unsure whether your policy needs S5 or S7, contact Professional Retrofits Ltd and share your insurer’s wording. Then we will confirm suitable tracker options, expected subscription arrangements, and available fitting slots. Although a tracker can support recovery and visibility, it works best when it matches your insurer’s required category and remains actively subscribed.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance on a Lexus IS 500 F Sport?

It depends on your insurer and policy terms. Some policies request a Thatcham-recognised tracker category (often S5 or S7), while others do not. Therefore, it’s best to check your certificate or speak to your insurer, and then we can help you choose a suitable category.

Which tracker category is suitable: S5 or S7?

S7 focuses on location tracking and recovery support, while S5 adds driver recognition. Because some insurers prefer driver recognition for certain risk profiles, S5 may be required in specific cases. However, your policy wording should guide the final choice.

Will a tracker stop my car being stolen?

No. A GPS tracker supports location visibility and recovery coordination through a Secure Control Centre, but it does not prevent theft on its own. Nevertheless, it can form part of a layered security approach.

Does the tracker come with monitoring?

Thatcham-recognised systems typically operate with a Secure Control Centre as part of the service, and they usually require an active subscription. Therefore, we will explain the monitoring arrangements and ongoing costs before installation.

Can you fit an insurance-approved tracker if I already have one installed?

Possibly. First, we would check what category it is, whether it is still supported by the provider, and whether the subscription is active. Then we can advise whether it meets your insurer’s requirement or whether a replacement makes more sense.

Is immobilisation included?

Some insurance-approved systems offer immobilisation as an option, but it is only used within the approved process and is typically police-controlled via the Secure Control Centre. Therefore, availability depends on the tracker brand and category selected.

Where is the tracker fitted?

Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton. Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop, and we complete the installation during your booked appointment.

How long does installation take?

Times vary depending on the tracker category and the vehicle’s configuration. However, we will provide an estimated duration when you book, and we will confirm what to expect for handover and app access.

Important

GPS tracking systems are designed to assist with vehicle location and recovery. They do not prevent theft. Any insurance acceptance or premium impact depends on your insurer and policy terms.
