That seems to be a Motorola tracker - there's one currently for sale on ebay with similar part number.....

Wasn't suggesting a purchase, merely using it as a point of reference to answer OPs original question as no one had yet to identify his tracker which was found by a bit of googling...job done ;-)
Would never buy 'security' based gear second hand or from eBay...ever !

Just to take this thread further if i could.
Im due to pick my cayman s up in the next few week which has "VTS Preparation".
Now as i understand things, this was just an option to include the wiring element within the car from factory? Does this then mean, all I now have to do is approach Cobra, for example, and just purchase the actual tracking unit, at a reduced cost of a full installation?
Reason i ask is that i am currently looking at the various car insurance options based on having a tracker or not.
I could potentially save £250 with one provider who requires a tracker, over one which does not.
I need to weigh up the initial outlay and potential future cost savings.
Cheers

The Cobra subscription is £215 per year though - factor in the installation and I doubt that this is going to be cost effective unless the policy requiring it offers you something that the other doesn't. Once your car has depreciated a bit (a year or two from new on a Cayman) its value will fall through the threshold at which insurers require a tracker too (usually £40k or £50k value).Im due to pick my cayman s up in the next few week which has "VTS Preparation".

I'd say that it makes little financial sense personally.
