Our Quick Buyer’s Guide to Land Rover Trackers

For those living the Landy life, the key upgrade to security is a Tracker, and a pedal lock, but this guide is specifically about trackers. The advantages of using a Land Rover Tracker is simple. You get all the benefits of a GPS vehicle tracking system, so if someone manages to take your beloved Land Rover, you’ll have a way to track it down and get it back. (And that doesn’t even factor in the trackers that come with a built-in immobilisation feature – some automatic, others remotely activated!) It’s fair to say, however, that there are a lot of trackers on the market. And even though we’ve chosen to stock what we believe are the best of the bunch, there is still a lot of variety between those in terms of cost, features and ongoing subscription charges. With that in mind, we thought it was about time we put together a guide to Land Rover Defender trackers, to help you decide which one is right for you. Our Land Rover Tracker brands LRD Track Cheap, but packs a punch... We have priced this effectively to offer a very affordable unit but with the ability to immobilise remotely. This tracker has been designed with the Land Rover owner in mind, but will work on Discovery's and Range Rovers alike. Specific features are primarily a remote aerial, so that the tracker can be located deep into the vehicle and the aerial higher up to give a higher gain. Other features are, remote immobilisation, built in battery, external battery cut alert, geo fence. Because this tracker is our own, we will always provide the best support, and give subscribers first access to our latest upgrades. All of which will be easily integrated into the LRD Track... Full details available below, we have worked with all the major tracker brands, and have settled on Scorpion being the best. UK made products with UK support. No better way. Scorpion have all the approvals for Thatcham, and Insurance companies. we can fit them anywhere in the UK with in a week. S7, S5 or S5+? You can’t write a guide to land rover trackers without talking about the way they are graded. The labels however can be confusing and it doesn’t help that the lower the number, the higher the grading! To make this simple, the S7 is the base standard for a vehicle tracker, factoring in real-time monitoring of your vehicle, global coverage and a motion detection alert if your vehicle starts moving when it shouldn’t. S5-rated trackers are the next grade up and include that, plus Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) by way of a key fob. This can also immobilise the vehicle or activate remote immobilisation if needed.
