My insurance have thankfully downgraded the security requirements on my 2013 V12v from tracker to Thatcham catagory 1

Is there a chance my car has this from factory as a standard fit?

I don't know what the alarm system is but weren't UK cars fitted with a Thatcham Cat 5 tracker? You would need a subscription though to make it live.

If it helps, equipment for 2013 is:

Alarm and immobiliser
“The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) is a fully automatic engine immobiliser” [taken from AM materials]
Tracker: Factory fitted ‘Aston Martin Advanced Tracker’ (Thatcham Category S5)

I believe the OEM for the tracker is Cobra 2140 S5.
Vodafone Automotive Tel. #: 0333 222 0003 [to activate a tracker]
Amusingly you have to pay vodafone more for the 'Aston Martin Advanced Tracker' than if one had a generic Cobra 2140 S5.

If you put your VIN in AMTIS online, then there is a Vehicle Alarm Insurance letter available for your vehicle...
