Hi all

Apologies if this has already been subject of conversation before but I have just purchased a HSV GTS-R and was wondering how you guys have gone about satisfying your insurance companies with an alarm that is Thatcham approved. Is the standard good enough or do I need to fit something??

It's a question for your Insurer. The Monaro one is not Thatcham approved but not all Insurers require that level of approval. If they do, you'll need to get a secondary system fitted - some guys on here have done this. I'm with A Plan and they don't mind.

Our insurance company would'nt touch our CV8 without a Tracker. Its peace of mind also. Just get one fitted and your insurance company will be pleased with that

I had an immobiliser fitted when I got my GTS-R. Got it fitted at home, AMS do a mobile fitting service. Search 'AMS car Alarms' for info.
What number "R" did yo get?.

Hey thanks for your replies guys very helpful. As my GTS-R is a bit special being UK001 of two in the UK, it looks like Tracker may be the way to go....

Thanks Mike. I have been looking for the right HSV for about 5 years now and I have definately found it. Everytime I go outside I have to stop and stare at her - what a car.

Guys... be careful what you discuss on a public forum.

But whilst I`m here... I have a wild lion in mine which is nice.
