Tracker tags? What do you do with yours?
Discussion
I am about to take delivery of a 2016 Vanquish Volante (have I mentioned that yet? 
).
I have noticed that the current tracker system (Cobra) uses tracker tags. The old system (Eurowatch) on my DBS did soo too but gave one the option of pairing with your phone, so the phone acted as a tracker tag. Very smart. The new system doesn't do that.
My question is, what do people do with them. I can see myself leaving them behind constantly. The obvious answer is to leave them in the car but that rather defeats their whole purpose.
Has anyone with the cobra system come up with a smart idea of how to keep them where one won't forget it?

mine fits nicely in the poach of my wallet, and as i always need to take my wallet with me (to fill up with fuel) it works nicely. The other good thing about this is that I get a call if i have left my wallet at home, I can then turn around and get it.This then ensures I can fill up with fuel and get my full 3 hr drive allowance i am given by my other half. :-) ;-)

Congratulations on your acquisition - I didn't think you had mentioned it before 
sorry, I don't have any novel solutions but the tags on the new system are so much smaller and I just pop in my pocket. They are probably a third of the size of the original tags.
When do you collect your new one and looking forward to seeing pictures. May the good weather continue!!

Only problem is sometimes I forget to take them out of my pocket and then have to remember which pair of jeans I was wearing that I left the tracker in......

This is an iPhone sleeve with a pocket on the front. As I never leave home without my phone I always have my tracker tag with me, that way it's not left in the car or lying at home so Cobra don't phone to remind me.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I actually found a good thread:
Great Tracker Solution
So I also have a few ideas from that.
I have ordered a leather pouch (http://cobracartech.co.uk/en/home/968-bespoke-leather-case-.html) for it but I'm thinking of the wallet solution.

I use an older version of this to hold mine.
Its a pity Aston don't offer a suitable product .
I like to think using it helps in a very small way to my recycling efforts.

After finding glass key in pouch, garage door activator, house keys and tag I used to put tag in pocket but still got a few stolen calls. Had four on way to Le Mans including when the eurotunnel started on way out - although they must have got fed up as no call on way back!
A pouch wouldn't work with Vantage key and have too many other different keys sets.
Have started putting it in empty leather key pouch once inside and car started, then back in pocket when out of car.
