Toyota fitting trackers for free on CH-R's?

[TBCTBC]

My wife has taken her CH-R in today for a service and MOT as the car is now 4 years old.

She's been told by her dealer (Waterlooville, near Havant in Hampshire) that they're fitting a tracker for free - anyone know what this is all about or any issues/concerns?

I've heard of insurance companies insisting on it but never a main dealer.

Can't help with the Toyota version.
I'm hopeless at doing a link, but if you go to lexusownersclub.co.uk, there's an article entitled Tracker about Lexus doing the same thing

Anecdotally I’ve noticed a lot of modern Toyotas getting nicked on a local area facebook group. I assume it’s the CAN system that they are plugging into.

No, it's a new(ish) car, registered in 2020, due it's 4 year service. Corrected the original post - apologies.

The paper work accompanying the tracker indicates it comes with a 3 year subscription, paid for by Toyota.

Our 2020 RAV4 Hybrid is having one fitted FOC on the 30th. It had CANBUS protection plates fitted at the last service.

Can’t fault Toyota. Other manufacturers affected with similar issues should take note.
