Just a quick heads-up.
You should take a drive with your phones Bluetooth disabled and/or your fob at home but warning, you are likely to be made very unhappy with the result.

After three consecutive 3 year subscriptions, I thought best to check the tracker before investing in another non-refundable subscription period, so after driving the car without either phone pairing ( Bluetooth disabled ) or fob ( long deceased ) I hadn't received the automated texts requesting a pin code to stand-down the alarm. Instead, the first notification came from a very polite person after approx. 30-40 mins, when asked if the response time was normal, a request to attempt the test again within the next couple of day resulted in the same experience of no texts and a call after 30 minutes of driving.
Well, if you can imagine how much devastation you could achieve with half an hours free access to someone else's car, is the owner likely to want it back ? A situation described by my insurance broker as a 'chocolate tea-pot' and a question of is it worth £250 a year to save £75 in insurance premiums, your decision .
