Our S5 Tracker Installation Process: What You Need to Know

17th March 2021

When it comes to safeguarding your vehicle, having a reliable and efficient tracking system is crucial. The S5 Tracker by Safe & Sound is one of the most advanced and trusted options on the market, offering top-notch security for your vehicle. 

In this article, we’ll walk you through the S5 Tracker installation process, along with some key considerations to keep in mind when buying and installing this Thatcham-certified tracker from Safe & Sound.

What is an S5 Tracker?

Before diving into the installation process, it’s important to understand what an S5 Tracker is. The S5 Tracker is a Thatcham-approved vehicle tracking system designed to provide high-level security and improve vehicle recovery in the event of theft. It offers GPS and GSM tracking, allowing for real-time monitoring of your vehicle's location, and it’s often a requirement for high-value cars or vehicles that are susceptible to theft.

Thatcham approval ensures that the tracker meets the rigorous standards set for vehicle security devices. This is why the S5 Tracker is a trusted choice for those looking to secure their cars effectively.

Why Choose Safe & Sound for Your S5 Tracker Installation?

At Safe & Sound, we pride ourselves on offering professional thatcham tracker installation that are both seamless and secure. Our experienced technicians are certified to install Thatcham-approved trackers, ensuring that your vehicle remains protected from theft. Here’s what you can expect from our installation process:

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Before any installation takes place, our team will conduct an initial consultation to assess your needs and the specific requirements of your vehicle. During this stage, we will discuss the different features of the S5 Tracker and help you understand how it fits into your vehicle security plan. Whether you're installing it for personal peace of mind or as part of a fleet security solution, we’ll ensure the tracker meets your needs.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Installation Location

The Thatcham tracker installation like the S5 requires strategic placement within your vehicle to ensure optimal performance. Our technicians will carefully choose an ideal location, often in a hidden part of the vehicle, to ensure the tracker remains covert. This makes it harder for thieves to locate and disable the tracker, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the security system.

Step 3: Professional Installation

Once the location is chosen, our technicians will begin the installation process. The S5 Tracker is wired directly into your vehicle’s electrical system, ensuring that it operates continuously without relying on external power sources. Our technicians ensure that the installation is done correctly and efficiently, following all manufacturer guidelines and Thatcham standards.

The installation typically takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the vehicle type and complexity. We’ll ensure that your vehicle is fully functional and ready to go once the installation is complete.

Step 4: Testing and Verification

After the installation is complete, we conduct thorough testing to ensure everything is functioning as expected. We’ll check the GPS and GSM signals, as well as the ability to communicate with the monitoring centre. Our team will also provide you with an overview of how to use the system and its features, so you’re fully equipped to monitor your vehicle’s location.

Step 5: Post-Installation Support

At Safe & Sound, we offer continuous support after your S5 tracker installation. If you have any questions or issues with your tracker, our team is just a call away. We’re committed to ensuring that your vehicle stays protected at all times, and our customer support team is always ready to assist with any concerns.

Key Considerations Before Installing an S5 Tracker

Before purchasing and installing an S5 Tracker, there are a few factors to consider to ensure you're making the best decision for your vehicle's security.

1. Thatcham Certification

It’s essential to ensure that any vehicle tracker you purchase is Thatcham-approved, as this ensures the system meets industry standards for vehicle protection. The S5 Tracker is fully accredited by Thatcham, offering peace of mind that your investment is backed by a trusted security standard.

2. Installation Location

As mentioned, the installation location of your tracker is key to ensuring its effectiveness. Be sure to work with a trusted professional like Safe & Sound, who understands the importance of placing the tracker in a secure and discreet location to prevent tampering.

3. Ongoing Subscription Costs

Most vehicle trackers, including the S5, require a subscription for ongoing monitoring and tracking services. Before making your purchase, it’s important to review the subscription options and ongoing costs. Safe & Sound can help guide you through the available plans to ensure you’re getting the best value for your needs.

4. Compatibility with Your Vehicle

Not all vehicle tracking systems are compatible with every type of vehicle. When purchasing an S5 Tracker, it’s important to ensure that the system is suitable for your car. Whether you’re driving a luxury vehicle or a fleet of company cars, Safe & Sound’s experts can help determine if the S5 Tracker is the right fit. Simply get in touch with us and we will advise on the best suited device for your vehicle.

5. Legal Considerations

Make sure you’re aware of any legal requirements for vehicle tracking systems, especially if you’re operating a fleet of vehicles. In some cases, Thatcham-approved systems may be required by insurance companies, especially for high-value or high-performance vehicles.

Conclusion
