Thatcham S5 or S7? If you're trying to figure out which tracker is right for your Land Rover, the main difference comes down to one feature: Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR).
📌 An S5 tracker uses a small ADR tag. If your car moves without that tag inside, an alert fires straight away. This is the standard for new Defenders, higher-value vehicles and high-specification models.
📌 An S7 tracker gives you GPS tracking without the ADR tag. It is a more budget-friendly option for older or lower-value Land Rovers as long as your insurer accepts it.
We generally recommend the S5 if you're on the fence. The ADR tag separates a standard tracker from a comprehensive theft-deterrent system. It also means you won't have to upgrade later if your insurer changes their rules.
