997tt - is VTS standard?

[gd]

Hello again,

Just a quick one - I'm looking at 2007 and 2008 97 turbos and womdered if the Porsche Vehicle Tracking System comes as standard with these? Some of the dealers don't know and are starting to confuse me.

Also, I've just been asked by my insurer if it has a satellite based tracker... does anyone know if VTS is satellite (I assume they mean GPS) based?

Many thanks
Gary

Yes VTS is standard. Pretty sure it's only satellite and not GPS.

My VTS instruction manual says the system is a "GSM / GPS" based tracking system.

This may not help answer your insurer's question as this would mean the system uses satellites to locate itself (GPS) but the cellular network rather than satellite communications network (GSM) to communicate with the monitoring system. You'll need to ask them to be a bit more specific with the question.

Brilliant - thank you both for the quick replies.

Err, what do you mean - GPS signals come from satellites... not sure how it would use a satellite without GPS?

The VTS is a Cobratrak 5 system, so have a read up below on the specs:

Sorry, I meant GSM!
