Car Tracking Systems

Are Car Tracking Systems Really Necessary?

If you have ever parked your car and walked into a mall or restaurant, only to return a few hours later to find it gone, you know the misery and trauma of having your car stolen. With remote jamming becoming an increasing problem in most areas and the fact that some cars are surprisingly easy to steal, the potential for your car to do a disappearing act is at an all-time high.

Of course, some cars are considered popular targets, so it is advisable that you know if your car is currently on the “hit list” for theft. At the moment, the top picks for opportunistic car thieves in South Africa are, as always, the top sellers, and therefore include the Toyota Hilux, VW Polo (and Polo Vivo), and Toyota Fortuner. If you own one of these cars, having a car tracking system installed is not just an optional extra or a luxury; it is a necessity. Many other cars are at risk too.

There are various types of tracking systems on the market. Some are serviced and offer the convenience of having response teams available to track your car (and retrieve it, if it was stolen). In some cases, car tracking systems are simply required by businesses to keep track of vehicles, stock, and drivers. Regardless of what type of service you want and what your reasons are, you need to choose the system wisely and have it correctly installed by a professional fitment centre.

Car tracking systems such as those from Tracker, Matrix, and BidTrack are known to be among the best on the market for their accuracy and excellent service. Here is what they have to offer:

1. Tracker offers three options: Tracker Retrieve, Tracker Alert, and Tracker SkyTrax.

2. Matrix offers four options: Matrix MX1, Matrix MX2, Matrix MX3, and Beam-e.

3. BidTrack offers three options: BidTrack Active, BidTrack High Alert, and BidTrack Executive.

All of these packages are designed to provide the peace of mind required to know that you can safely park your vehicle and have an efficient course of action to follow if you do not find it where you left it.
