Tracker

[AndrewD]

Has anybody fitted a cat 5 tracker to a Ferrari? HR Owen tell me the Navtrak ADR is 2250 per car via Ferrari. Are there warranty issues unless you go with this somewhat overpriced option?

I know this comes as standard on UK cars but I'm importing mine from genteel Switzerland

Why not wait til you've got an insurer demanding then ask for their recommendation - not all insurers have the same requirements

I wouldn't say it is all about the insurance.

I had a car retrieved by Tracker a few years ago and was very impressed with their service. I now have a Tracker fitted to all my high-value cars regardless of whether the insurance want one.

I worked out at the time how much money it saved and it was well worth it. I ended up selling the car fairly soon after but it was not on any register and I got a lot more than the insurance were going to give me.

Hi, I suggest you call Navtrak Cobra directly and get a quote. They have their own engineers who will come to your home to work on the car. When the Navtrak ADR system went funky on my QP they sent a guy out. Very professional, carpeted areas he was working on and told some good stories of the thing he'd seen. I suspect that HR Owen would simply call them and have them visit their showroom but adding a premium to your price. For the record there was no charge for swapping the Navtrak unit over.

Thanks. Any issues with warranty?

cant remember the guy's name but he had my car apart in seconds and it was very clear he had done many of them before

Well its the official system fitted by the same people who do installs for the main dealers. I get your point though with the small print so not sure. Would a main dealer even realise the tracker was not fitted by a Ferrari dealer if you went to Navtrak directly?

You could call Cobra and get a quote, then call a few main dealers and get them to price match or at least get very close. HR Owen has a rep for being pretty well priced.

Thanks. Yes I think HR Owen were only quoting what Ferrari's official price is, it's what the factory want that is a bit inflated IMO. Will call around
