My Vodafone subscription is running out and there seems to be plenty more out there on the market that offer a better solution than an enormous fob in a leather case which has to be with you at all times. If it's not, you get a phone call, that's it.

It needs to be S5 for insurance purposes and the above seems a decent option?

Any advice/recommendations appreciated.

I also like it can be transferred from car to car.

I think they're all much of a muchness at the moment if going for simply tracking.

I added the immobiliser and went with SmarTrack/Global Telemetrics in a previous car. Its a good and simple app, customer service was great and worked fine (although phone calls sometimes drop but you know its them calling).

I went with them because the immobiliser recognition thingy is either your phone or a credit card-type card. This makes more sense rather than the others that use a fob, which might look good but ultimately ends up on the same keychain as car keys defeating the point.

Thanks, they're all a pain to be honest and theft is so unlikely, it's just another insurance premium.

However, I thought if I've got to have one it may as well be as simple to use as possible and the app/mapping of routes etc is an added bonus if it's ever needed. With the Vodafone one, you can't track your car yourself, not that you're likely to want to but I do occasionally lend it to people and geofencing/speed alerts could be handy.
