Before you enquire

Pandora Storm Plus, answered.

01What does Storm Plus add to Storm?

GPS and GLONASS tracking over 4G, so you can see where the vehicle is in the app and get push alerts, texts or calls if something happens to it. The Category 2 immobiliser is the same.

02Does it need a subscription?

It needs GSM airtime for tracking and alerts: the first 6 months are free, then £70 for 6 months or £125 for 12. Alerts come to you in the app; there's no monitoring centre.

03Can I use my phone instead of the tag?

Yes. The Pandora Connect app works on iOS and Android, over Bluetooth or GSM, and most smartwatches work too. The Bluetooth driver ID tag and your factory key are the other ways to authorise it.

04Is remote start or anti-hijack included?

Both are optional, and both depend on the vehicle, so we check your make and model before quoting.
