01 · Overview

What it is.

The Pandora Microbot holds a Thatcham Category 2e certificate and stops the engine starting until you're authorised by tag, PIN or phone. The ScorpionTrack S5-VTS adds insurance-approved, monitored tracking with driver recognition.

A pairing for policies that ask for Thatcham-certified security on both counts. They're two separate systems, each authorised its own way, so a thief has to beat both.

05 · Compatibility

Will it fit?

The Pandora Microbot and the ScorpionTrack S5-VTS are each checked against your exact make, model and year before we quote. Connects over the vehicle's CAN bus, or as a hard-wired analogue install where a vehicle needs it, with no cables cut. Pandora's European distributor lists two versions: one with two CAN FD channels, and one with a LIN and a CAN channel.

Send us the make, model and year, or the registration, and we'll confirm it suits your vehicle before we quote.

Vehicles: A wide range of modern cars
Vehicle network: CAN, Hard-wired (analogue)
Works with: A separate tracker: Microbot doesn't track location itself; The Pandora app (optional, no subscription), which can put it into service mode for garage visits; Your phone as the tag; The Scorpion X-Series immobiliser: the S5 driver tag can disarm it; Phone Tag, which lets your phone act as the driver tag (on STM01 units)

Before you enquire

Pandora Microbot + ScorpionTrack S5-VTS, answered.

01Will I have two tags?

Yes: the Microbot's tag and the tracker's driver tag. Your phone can act as the Microbot's tag, and the Microbot also accepts a PIN on the car's own buttons.
