Before you enquire
Meta Trak S5 VTS, answered.
01Do I need S5 or S7?
Your insurer's policy wording decides. S7 is monitored tracking; S5 adds driver-recognition tags, so the monitoring team is alerted if the vehicle moves without one. Send us the wording and we'll match the system to it.
02Does it stop the engine?
Not as standard. Meta Trak's Deadlock adds no-tag-no-start immobilisation to the same S5 tracking.
03Does it work abroad?
Meta Trak states coverage across the UK and EU (excluding Switzerland).
