FREE £249 Skytag tracking device

WITH the clocks turning back the nights are drawing in, which means one thing according to a survey report from Skytag – an increase in Land Rover theft. In fact, the stolen vehicle recovery company always sees a rise in thefts during the winter months with the additional cover of darkness and noise from wind and rain providing ideal conditions for the car thief to operate. With October proving to be their busiest month, with an increase in thefts compared with this time last year, Skytag has a fantastic offer for LRM readers. You will be required to pay a subscription payment but Skytag is offering a free tracker worth £249.

With an 11 minute recovery record and unique features such as monthly operation checks and direct police access to live online location information, a Skytag tracking device will give you peace of mind. The locating device itself is a very small covert unit designed to be hidden in the vehicle (it is smaller than a computer mouse) and it’s very easy for you to install it yourself making it impossible for anyone else to find, and makes it transferable between vehicles.

While it is compact it is clever, using a GPS chip that can pinpoint its location on the planet to within five metres, and a module that communicates this position to Skytag via the GPRS data network. Should the vehicles battery be disconnected it also has an in-built back-up battery that lasts three days. With a 24-hour 365-day monitoring service by a real live person in the UK – who is able to liaise directly with the police – it doesn’t get much better. It also offers Geozone holiday cover which puts a virtual electronic fence around your vehicle and will alert with any unauthorised movement.
