'08 Vantage Battery Drain

[oodathort]

Hi I have a V8 Vantage and battery drain, Aston Works wanted £485 for new battery I fitted a new one myself but still have flat battery and think it is the tracker, does anyone know where this unit is located in the car ?

Same question, folks. Anyone know where the tracker is so I can completely disconnect it?

I asked that on here and didn’t get a reply - it’s something I need to tackle on my car as well.

I can sort of understand why people are loathe to post public instructions on how to disable a tracker...

As an aside, I've got a 3rd party one which is a lot cheaper on subscription; still meets the insurance company requirement, and has lower battery drain. Although I do use a trickle charger (CTEK or solar) if not in use for a few days or more

You can't just disconnect it, it needs to be plugged into the AMDS by a dealer or independent to program it out. Bamford Rose did a video on this recently.
