Default Electronic tracking device...

Can anyone here recommend a good tracking device for their 911?

Been searching and can't seem to find anything for Ontario.

Isn't it a constant drain on the battery? Aren't there lots of posts of people disabling it because of dead batteries?

Its doesn't when brand new but when the internal battery wears out, it draws off the car battery and from past experience kills the battery at least ever 2 years even when you have a trickle charger and plug in while not in use.

i had a boomerang on my 997 and it constantly drained the battery. had it removed.

If if someone steals my car, let them have it.

If someone stole your car...would you even want it back? Assuming you aren't talking about a family heirloom or very special vintage vehicle, I would rather my insurer pay me than wonder what kind of internal damage could have been done while it was not in my hands.

Most insurers have "replacement cost" coverage now for newer vehicles, so you don't even get the depreciation hit.

Thanks.

Just confirmed with my insurance company that I'm covered for 2yrs replacement cost without taking any hit.

They did not explain this properly initially but asked if the car had a tracking device.

I agree on both fronts. Boomerang fried the battery on my 997.2
