    Porsche VTS tracking system - good?

    Hi guys,

    How many of you 997.2 owners have gone with the VTS system versus a Tracker Horizon/Response? Any preferences? Thanks

    Just FYI, back when the PVTS system was first introduced, PCGB announced that use of a non-Porsche tracking/security device would constitute an infringement of the requirement to fit only genuine Porsche parts to the vehicle.

    I've been using the system for the past 2 years on my 997.1 car and it's been fine. Cobra only handles the task of monitoring the car for PAG. They charge Pounds176 per year for this and so far they have been fine IMO.

    Didn't know it was an option not too - but system excellent - I paid Pounds200 at collection and it was activated instantly - I got a text before I left the showroom.

    Yep great system....

    i thought it was now part of the standard UK spec ? I was never given the option on my 997.2 . I guess you don't have to have it by not paying the Pounds200 connection/first subscription fee, but why when you would have to pay more for tracker fitment and then subscription + run the risk of non official parts being on the car.....

    VTS is a great system, i had tracker monitor on my last car and needed to report the car lost because a dealer had taken my car for part exchange but had not settled my finance. Tracker was useless they couldnt even give me the location of the car and said they wouldnt activate the tracker unless the police activated it.

    VTS on the other hand tell you immediately where the car is if you ask them.

    VTS works well, forgotten to take the card with me a couple of times. Both times i received a text message then phone call. Both well within 2 minutes of leaving house...
