im having 2.0d but essentially tracker is already fitted you just need to sign up to jaguars secure tracking option

 

[Pos.k]

Are you sure about that as I was advised differently, and that the tracking module had to be ordered and fitted at the factory, although there may be a work around

 

[Shaunyt]

Yes im sure as you can track your car yourself with the incontrol apps on your phone

Yes, but I think that is different from the controlled secure version via a monitoring centre...but you may be right!

You could try asking Ryan at Jaguar customer services on here

suggest that's one for the OP or anybody that hasn't ordered the tracking facility on their order.

I'm also baffled why this isn't an option for FE customers, surely it's just a piece of software that needs enabling? They know where the car is already, the app tells you.

Strange...

No, apparently it needs a gadget fitting (similar to the original Tracker units).
I understand that my dealer is trying for a workaround to retrofit to an FE, as it was not an option to spec.

The problem with the app version is that it relies on the web and possiby the Simcard/GSM. The secure version - like the tracker units need to transmit their location once activated to allow tracking. If it was just the cars software, then that could potentially be disabled / hacked or whatever. The tracker needs to be physically found and disabled.

IMHO they are not the same.

I have added the tracker - was advised that it is essential for insurance for any car over 40k. Was the first question from the insurance companies.

None of my quotes for insurance requested a tracker be fitted.

I don't think it's included with the Jag tracker but being a keyless car is anyone worried about key cloning and theft? I know this has been a big problem but not sure if Jaguar have updated their keyless entry to mitigate this problem?

I'm looking at the Cobra ADR system, it means you carry a small card but protects against this.

Tesco issuance accept the Incontrol secure as a tracker...it maybe cat 6 but it works and reduces the insurance ....my concern was it would not be recognised by the company but it's was ...

The Incontrol secure IS the tracker option - about £500? including the 3 yr service fee - thats different from the basic app visibility/ tracking , but it must be specced as an option.

Get a decent insurance company is the easier answer ,

 

[Waynem]

Didn't say it was free :roll: ...the free bit is Incontrol protect

None of my quotes for insurance requested a tracker be fitted.

I tried quotes with and without a tracker - the difference was only about £10 per year so not worth in IMHO

+ 1 ........... Same experience with my quotes.

You guys must live in a crime zone! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am seeing my dealer tomorrow to sign paperwork etc so I will get back to you

 

[Kojak]

Okay, dealer says that the tracker is a dealer fit option and that the vast majority of insurance companies will be asking for trackers to be fitted. The F Type is a perfect example with the bigger engines. All insurance now ask for the R to have a tracker fitted. Obviously I can't vouch for the accuracy of this but this is what he told me
