When it comes to safeguarding your Mercedes, a top-tier car tracker is an obvious and essential investment.
With ever-advanced technology, there are many trackers you can choose (many of which are available in our store) to provide real-time location monitoring, theft alerts and a range of other features designed to keep your vehicle secure. But which are the best? Which are the three trackers we’d recommend to Mercedes owners that perfectly balance the most effective security at a great price.
If you’re looking for the right tracker, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
In this blog, we’ll explore three of the best car trackers available for Mercedes owners: namely the S5 VTS and S7 ALS, both from ScorpionTrack and the Meta Trak S5 VTS.
Each of these devices offers unique features and benefits that cater to the different needs and preferences of even the most discerning Mercedes lover. Let’s start with:
1. ScorpionTrack S5 VTS
There’s little doubt that the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS is a premier car tracking system that combines sophisticated technology with user-friendly features.
It’s been designed to offer maximum security and provide real-time tracking and a range of other functionalities. Its key features include:
![ScorpionTrack S5 VTS](https://www.infinititracking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/BMW-S5-1024x1024.jpg)
- GPS & GSM Tracking
The ScorpionTrack S5 VTS uses a combination of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and GSM technology to provide precise and reliable location tracking. This multi-pronged system ensures that your Mercedes can be located even in areas with poor GPS signals, such as underground car parks or remote locations.
- Driver Recognition System
One of the standout features of the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS is its driver recognition system. This system uses an encrypted key fob to authenticate the driver. If the vehicle is moved without the presence of the key fob, an alert is immediately sent to the owner and the monitoring centre, triggering an investigation.
- 24/7 Monitoring and Alerts
The ScorpionTrack S5 VTS offers round-the-clock monitoring by a professional security team. In case of suspicious activity, such as unauthorised movement or tampering, instant alerts are sent via SMS, email or push notification on its dedicated app. This ensures that any potential theft is addressed as quickly as possible.
The mobile app and web portal are both intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to monitor your vehicle.
- Journey History and Reporting
The system maintains a detailed log of your vehicle’s journeys, including start and stop times, routes taken and mileage. Detailed journey logs provide valuable insights and can be used for various purposes.
This feature is particularly useful for personal tracking purposes, but if you work in fleet management, then you’re going to love it.
- European Coverage
For those who travel across Europe, the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS provides extensive coverage, ensuring that your vehicle is protected no matter where you go.
2. ScorpionTrack S7 ALS
![ScorpionTrack S7 ALS](https://www.infinititracking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Ford-ST-S7-1024x1024.jpg)
The ScorpionTrack S7 ALS is another excellent option for Mercedes owners, offering another incredible balance of advanced features and affordability. Whilst it doesn’t have the same specifications as its big brother above, it is still designed to provide reliable tracking and security without breaking the bank.
- Real-Time Tracking
Like the S5 VTS, the ScorpionTrack S7 ALS offers real-time tracking using GPS, GLONASS, Galileo & GSM technology. This ensures that you always know the exact location of your Mercedes.
- Tamper Alerts
The system is equipped with sensors that detect tampering attempts. If someone tries to disable the tracker or interferes with the vehicle, an alert is immediately sent to the owner and the monitoring centre.
- Geofencing
Geofencing allows you to set virtual boundaries for your vehicle. If your Mercedes leaves or enters a predefined area, you will receive an instant alert. This feature is particularly useful for monitoring your vehicle’s movement and ensuring it stays within designated zones.
- Speed Alerts
The ScorpionTrack S7 ALS can be configured to send alerts if your vehicle exceeds a certain speed. This feature is beneficial for monitoring driving behaviour, especially if multiple drivers use the car.
- Mobile App and Web Portal
The system also includes a dedicated, user-friendly mobile app and web portal, allowing you to track your vehicle and manage settings from anywhere. The interface is designed for ease of use, making it accessible to all users, as it’s the same one used for the S5 above.
3. Meta Trak S5 VTS
Last but by no means least is the Meta Trak S5 VTS. Without a doubt, this is a high-end car tracker that combines state-of-the-art technology with comprehensive security features. It is designed for Mercedes owners who want the best protection and monitoring capabilities. Let me explain why:
![](https://www.infinititracking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Meta-Trak-S5.png)
- Thatcham S5 Approved
The Meta Trak S5 VTS meets the stringent requirements of Thatcham’s S5 standard, ensuring it provides top-level security. This approval is recognized by insurance companies and can help reduce premiums.
Thatcham S5 approval and accreditation tells you it offers unparalleled protection to any car owner.
- Automatic Driver Recognition
Similar to the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS, the Meta Trak S5 VTS uses an encrypted key fob for driver recognition. Unauthorised movement of the vehicle triggers an alert, providing an additional layer of security.
- 24/7 Control Room Monitoring
The Meta Trak S5 VTS offers continuous monitoring by a professionally, fully manned control room.
In the event of suspicious activity, the control room can take immediate action, including contacting the police if necessary. Continuous, day and night monitoring ensures that any suspicious activity is addressed promptly.
- Journey and Event Logging
The system logs all journeys and significant events, providing detailed reports that can be accessed via the mobile app or web portal. This feature is useful for keeping track of vehicle usage and detecting any irregularities.
Whilst features like these can often be overlooked when looking for a tracker, comprehensive journey and event logs will provide you with valuable insights and can even aid in vehicle recovery.
Choosing the Right Tracker for Your Mercedes
Whilst these three are some of the best, they’re not the only ones. You can find some other trackers ideally suited to a Mercedes by clicking here but almost all of the ones we sell offer fantastic features and value.
Regardless of which one you choose, when selecting a car tracker for your Mercedes, it’s important to consider your specific needs and preferences.
Here are a few factors to bear in mind:
- Budget: The ScorpionTrack S7 ALS offers excellent features at a more affordable price, making it a great choice for those on a budget. The ScorpionTrack S5 VTS and Meta Trak S5 VTS are more expensive but offer additional security features and monitoring capabilities.
- Security Requirements: If you prioritise maximum security, the Meta Trak S5 VTS with its Thatcham S5 approval and remote immobilisation feature is an excellent option. The ScorpionTrack S5 VTS also provides robust security with its driver recognition system and 24/7 monitoring.
- Additional Features: Consider what additional features are important to you. For example, if you want detailed journey logs and customisable alerts, both the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS and S7 ALS offer these functionalities in abundance.
- Ease of Use: All three trackers we’ve listed here provide user-friendly mobile apps and web portals, but you might prefer the interface of one over the others. It’s worth exploring the demo versions of these apps if available.
Investing in a high-quality car tracker is a smart move for any Mercedes owner (and car owners in general).
Whether you choose ScorpionTrack’s S5 VTS or their S7 ALS or opt for the Meta Trak S5 VTS, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is well-protected.
Each of these trackers offers a unique set of features and benefits, ensuring that you can find the perfect solution to meet your security and budgetary needs.

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to surge in popularity, ensuring their security has become a top priority for owners.
Vehicle tracking systems are essential for protecting these high-value assets from theft and ensuring peace of mind.
Latest EV Car Sales in the UK
The UK has seen a significant rise in electric vehicle sales, driven by increasing environmental awareness, government incentives and advancements in battery technology.
![](https://www.infinititracking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/myenergi-4SyUf9MvWjU-unsplash-1024x576.jpg)
According to recent data, in 2023, the UK saw a substantial increase in EV registrations, with a growth rate of over 30% compared to the previous year. This surge is attributed to new model releases, a consistently improving infrastructure and heightened consumer interest.
Electric vehicles now account for approximately 20% of the total car market in the UK. This figure is expected to rise as more manufacturers transition to electric models and the government pushes for greener transport solutions.
The UK government continues to support the EV market with various incentives, including grants, salary sacrifice, subsidies for home charging stations and investments in public charging infrastructure. Even those on a Motability scheme can now choose an electric car to help with their mobility needs.
Analysts predict that by 2030, electric vehicles could comprise over 50% of new car sales in the UK, aligning with the government’s goal to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035 (which may still change, it was originally meant to be 2040….. then 2030 before settling on 2035)
If you’re looking for a tracker for your EV, in this blog, we’ll explore three top-tier vehicle trackers looking at their features and benefits. Whilst they’re not solely exclusive to EVs, they are ideal for anyone looking to secure their own vehicular green revolution.
ScorpionTrack S5 VTS
The ScorpionTrack S5 VTS (which unoriginally stands for Vehicle Tracking System) is a state-of-the-art tracking device specifically designed for high-value vehicles, including EVs. It combines GPS and GSM technology to provide precise real-time location tracking.
The S5 VTS also meets the stringent criteria set by Thatcham Research, the UK-based insurance industry body. This approval can even lead to insurance premium discounts. The Thatcham approval is a testament to its reliability and effectiveness.
One huge benefit of this system is its use of Driver ID tags, ensuring only authorised users can operate the vehicle. If the vehicle is attempted to be driven without the tag, the owner is immediately alerted and the car is disabled.
The ScorpionTrack team monitors your vehicle round-the-clock, offering rapid response and recovery services if your EV is stolen. The tracking service extends across Europe, providing protection even when you’re travelling abroad.
Through its app, you can set virtual boundaries, known as geo-fencing, for your vehicle. If your EV moves outside these predefined zones, you’ll also receive an instant notification.
For EV owners, the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS offers unparalleled security. Its driver recognition system significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised use, while real-time tracking ensures you can always locate your vehicle.

MetaTrak S5 VTS
MetaTrak S5 VTS is another top contender in the vehicle tracking market, offering robust security features tailored for modern vehicles, including EVs.
This is an incredibly well-featured tracker that offers EV owners a comprehensive security solution with the added convenience of smartphone integration. The motion sensing technology provides an extra layer of protection, ensuring that even sophisticated theft attempts are detected early.
The app’s journey history and status updates help EV owners monitor their vehicle’s usage and health, contributing to better maintenance and efficiency. Advanced motion sensing technology detects unusual movement, such as towing or lifting, and sends alerts to prevent theft. This is all thanks to the MetaTrak app which comes free and is easily downloadable
The app also provides real-time location tracking directly to your smartphone, so you’ve always got easy access to the information you need right from the palm of your hand.
Similar to ScorpionTrack, MetaTrak S5 VTS is Thatcham-approved, ensuring high-security standards and potential insurance benefits. It also features Driver ID tags, preventing unauthorised driving and alerting you immediately if the vehicle is started without the tag.
If you drive an EV or are looking to buy one, you really can’t go wrong with this amazing device.
SmarTrack S5 D-iD
SmarTrack S5 D-iD is a premium vehicle tracking system that combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it ideal for EV and non-EV owners who seek both security and convenience.
Like the other systems mentioned, SmarTrack S5 D-iD is another Thatcham-approved device, offering assurance of its high-security standards.
Unlike the other two, the SmarTrack S5 R-iD uses innovative Driver Identification technology that pairs with your smartphone. This way only recognised devices can start the vehicle. This feature eliminates the need for separate tags or key fobs, streamlining access whilst still maintaining high security.
The S5 D-iD also offers worldwide tracking capabilities, perfect for EV owners who travel frequently.
It features an internal battery backup to ensure the tracker remains active even if the vehicle’s power supply is cut, the car’s battery dies completely or is tampered with.
Should the worst happen, SmarTrack’s monitoring team provides constant surveillance and rapid response in case of theft.
As the electric vehicle market in the UK continues to expand, securing these high-value assets has never been more critical.

In the world of car ownership, saving money is often a key factor, especially in these difficult economic times.
From fuel efficiency to maintenance costs, from styling to security, every aspect of vehicle ownership demands puts a drain on the wallet. One often overlooked area where substantial savings can be achieved is car insurance.
In the UK, where insurance premiums are mandatory but can also be pretty steep, finding ways to reduce these costs is essential.
Fortunately, advancements in technology have paved the way for innovative solutions, such as car trackers, which not only enhance security but also offer potential discounts on insurance premiums.
Let’s delve into the world of car trackers and explore some of the best options available in the UK market to help you drive down your insurance costs.
Understanding Car Trackers and Insurance Savings
Car trackers, also known as telematics devices, are sophisticated gadgets that utilise GPS technology to monitor and track the location, movement and sometimes even the behaviour of a vehicle.
Insurance companies have increasingly embraced the use of these devices to offer usage-based insurance (UBI) policies. These policies allow insurers to assess a driver’s risk profile more accurately by monitoring their driving habits, such as speed, braking and mileage.
For responsible drivers, this presents an opportunity to prove their low-risk status and consequently secure lower insurance premiums.
By installing a car tracker and agreeing to share driving data with their insurer, drivers can potentially save hundreds of pounds annually on their insurance premiums.
With the UK’s insurance costs notoriously high, such savings can significantly affect household budgets, but which trackers really help reduce those premiums? Let’s take a look at three of the best.
Benefits of Car Trackers Beyond Insurance Savings
While the potential for insurance savings is undoubtedly appealing, car trackers offer additional benefits, beyond the peace of mind they offer, that enhance the overall driving experience:
- Enhanced Security: Many car trackers come equipped with features such as real-time GPS tracking and geofencing, which can help locate and recover stolen vehicles quickly.
- Improved Driving Habits: By monitoring driving behaviour, car trackers encourage safer driving habits, reducing the risk of accidents and promoting road safety.
- Fleet Management: For businesses with vehicle fleets, car trackers provide valuable insights into driver behaviour, fuel efficiency and maintenance schedules, helping to optimise operations and reduce costs.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that their vehicle is equipped with a tracking device can provide drivers with peace of mind, especially in high-theft areas or when lending their car to others.

1. ScorpionTrack S5 VTS
If you’re looking for a tracker that ticks all the boxes in terms of features and will also please your insurance company, then look no further than the S5 VTS from ScorpionTrack.
With the rise of increasingly elaborate workarounds to counteract the protections trackers offer, the S5 VTS has a few tricks up its sleeve.
It boasts a myriad of features to help prevent most modern theft methods such as key theft, key cloning and OBD hacking. If you’re looking for a tracker that has it all, including a way to reduce your premiums, this is it.

2. Meta Trak S5 VTS
One of the most cost-effective S5 trackers you can buy, it also meets Thatcham’s strict CAT-5 and S5 criteria meaning it’s insurance-approved and perfect to secure your vehicle.
Approved by Škoda, Seat and Volkswagen, this powerhouse of a tracker gives you access to their 24/7 Control Centre via its dedicated app and puts a whole host of notifications and alerts right in the palm of your hand.
Being an S5-rated tracker, you also get Driver ID tags which give you another level of protection. These small pieces of cutting-edge tech mean that, if they’re not in close proximity to the vehicle, it won’t start and even if it does move, both the control centre and you (vai the app) will get instant notifications.
There are few trackers but than this one, but it’s not the only one that can help reduce your premiums.
3. ScorpionTrack S7 ALS
Not only is the ScorpionTrack S5 VTS one of the best trackers you can buy right now, especially if you’re looking to reduce your insurance premiums, but it’s also one of the most cost-effective.
![](https://www.infinititracking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ScorpionTrack-S7.png)
As you would expect from a company like ScorpionTrack, the S7 comes with a host of features to help you keep your car secure (something your insurance company will love) but, if you manage a fleet, then it also includes a host of advanced features that you’ll love to manage things like journey history, multi-vehicle tracking and geofencing.
Not only that, like it’s big brother above, it’s also manufactured in the UK to the Police Preferred Specification so you can be sure you’re getting an amazing system that both you and your insurer will love.
Keep Your Insurance Premium Down!
Car insurance premiums, especially in the UK, can be a significant financial burden, so finding ways to reduce costs is crucial.
Car trackers like those mentioned above, whilst not an exhaustive list, all offer a compelling solution by not only enhancing security but also potentially lowering your insurance premiums through usage-based insurance policies.
By monitoring driving behaviour and rewarding safe drivers, these devices empower motorists to take control of their insurance costs and drive more responsibly.
With an even wider range of options available on our website, drivers have the opportunity to choose the best car tracker that suits their needs and budget, ultimately leading to greater savings and peace of mind on the road.

With the cold weather looming, Christmas on its way (we know!) and the cost of heating going through the sunroof, it’s time to turn your attention to securing your vehicle over the winter.
With the new year approaching, the peak months for many car thefts, making sure your car, motorhome, motorbike or sleigh is secure is going to be vital in having a peaceful, stress-free festive period.
With that in mind, we thought it would be useful to give you some fantastic tips to help you secure your vehicle this winter.
WINTER IS COMING
One of the most common ways thieves can steal your car isn’t through a technically advanced technique involving gadgets or trickery, it’s by getting in and driving away with your own key!
Frost-jacking, as it’s known, occurs when you leave your car unattended to warm up.
As you try to get yourself and the family ready for school or work, many people will go out and start their car, then leave it alone.
They will allow it to idle, either to warm up the interior or defrost the windscreens after a snow shower or frosty morning (often both). This obviously involves leaving your key in the ignition and vehicle unattended, but that’s the problem.
Thieves, often opportunists, will walk around neighbourhoods looking for this exact pattern. When they see an unattended vehicle ticking over, they simply get in and drive away.
The easiest way to stop yourself becoming a victim to frost-jacking is obviously not to do it. Do not leave your car unattended with the engine running!
Most modern cars warm up very quickly and many come with heated windscreens, so there’s often no real need to anyway. If you can cover it overnight to protect it from snow and frost, then there will be even less reason to, and less opportunity for thieves to steal your vehicle.
A KEY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE KEY TO CAR THEFT
Just a couple of years ago, 92% of the cars that were stolen from homes were done so without the use of a key. Whilst that figures sounds staggering, and it is, remember many modern cars don’t come with a traditional key anyway, but that hasn’t stopped thieves from exploiting the technology to their own gains.
To steal your keyless entry car, many car thieves use a technique called a Relay Attack.
This involves a team of thieves, one of which stands near your door (they’ll rely on the fact you’ll store your car keys near your front door) and by using a device to scan for the signal omitted by your key fob, transmit the signal to their accomplice who’s next to you car with a receiver.
Once the signal is received, your car will open and off they’ll drive. To combat this, there are trackers that can help.
SCORPION HAS A WINTER STING
The ScorpionTrack S5 VTS and its big brother the S5+ with immobilisation are both designed and manufactured to the Police’s preferred specification.
Not only that, they both will help protect your vehicle from Relay Attack in addition to key cloning and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) hacking.
