My Auto Security S5+ Tracker | Thatcham S5+ GPS Tracker

My Auto Security S5+ Tracker | Thatcham S5+ GPS Tracker & Immobiliser

Protect your vehicle with the My Auto Security S5+ Tracker, a premium Thatcham Category S5+ insurance-approved vehicle tracking and immobilisation system.

Designed for high-value, high-risk and desirable vehicles, the S5+ combines live 4G GPS tracking, 24/7 UK monitoring, Automatic Driver Recognition, Driver ID Tags, tow-away detection, tamper alerts and engine immobilisation into one comprehensive vehicle security system.

The standout feature is No Tag, No Start. If an authorised Driver ID Tag is not detected, the vehicle will not start, providing an additional layer of protection against vehicle theft. The TrackManager S5 Plus Tracker is certified under Thatcham Security Certificate TSC 528.

Thatcham Category S5+ Insurance-Approved Tracker

The S5+ is the highest Thatcham category of monitored vehicle tracking and is designed for vehicles requiring the highest level of tracking and immobilisation protection.

The My Auto Security S5+ provides the features of an S5 tracker while adding engine immobilisation. This means the system can both alert a monitoring centre to an attempted theft and prevent the vehicle from being started without an authorised Driver ID Tag.

The system is certified under:

Thatcham Security Certificate: TSC 528

If your insurer specifically requires an S5+ tracker, fitting an S5 tracker instead may not satisfy your policy requirements. Always check your individual insurance policy before installation.

No Tag, No Start Immobilisation

One of the biggest advantages of the My Auto Security S5+ Tracker is its integrated immobilisation system.

The vehicle remains immobilised until an authorised Driver ID Tag is detected. When you approach the vehicle with your paired tag, the system recognises it and allows the vehicle to start normally.

Without the recognised tag:

NO TAG = NO START

This provides an additional layer of protection even if a thief manages to defeat the vehicle's original security system.

The S5+ immobiliser operates separately from the vehicle's factory immobiliser, adding another security layer rather than simply relying on the manufacturer's existing protection.

Automatic Driver Recognition

The S5+ uses Automatic Driver Recognition (ADR) to identify an authorised driver.

Two Driver ID Tags are supplied and programmed to the tracking system during installation.

The tags don't replace your vehicle key. Instead, they communicate with the tracker to confirm that an authorised driver is present.

This means you can continue to use your normal vehicle key or keyless system while the S5+ provides an additional layer of authentication.

2 Driver ID Tags Included

The My Auto Security S5+ includes two Driver ID Tags, allowing the system to recognise authorised drivers.

The tags are paired with the individual tracking system during installation.

Keeping the Driver ID Tag separate from your vehicle key can provide an additional security benefit, as the tag is responsible for authorising the S5+ immobiliser.

24/7 UK Vehicle Theft Monitoring

The S5+ is backed by a 24/7/365 UK monitoring centre.

This means your vehicle security isn't dependent solely on you seeing an app notification. The monitoring centre continuously monitors security alerts generated by the tracking system.

Alerts can include:

• Unauthorised movement
• Tow-away activity
• Tampering
• Power loss
• Vehicle movement without an authorised Driver ID Tag

The monitoring team can then contact you and provide support through the appropriate recovery process.

Live 4G GPS Vehicle Tracking

The My Auto Security S5+ provides live 4G GPS tracking, allowing your vehicle's location and movements to be monitored.

The system uses 4G multi-network connectivity, helping the tracker connect through available mobile networks rather than being restricted to a single network operator.

Live GPS tracking can provide valuable information including:

• Current vehicle location
• Journey history
• Previous vehicle movements
• Journey playback
• Vehicle movement alerts

Tow-Away Detection

The S5+ is designed to detect vehicle movement even when the vehicle's ignition has not been switched on.

This makes tow-away detection an important part of the system's theft protection.

If your vehicle is:

• Towed
• Winched
• Lifted onto a transporter
• Moved without being driven

the system can generate a movement alert for the monitoring centre.

Tamper & Power-Loss Alerts

The S5+ doesn't just monitor your vehicle's location.

It can also detect tampering and power loss, helping identify attempts to interfere with the tracking system.

This provides additional protection against common attempts to disable or remove a vehicle tracking system.

Security alerts include:

• Tow-away alerts
• Movement alerts
• Tamper alerts
• Power-loss alerts
• Unauthorised driver alerts
• Low-battery alerts

Protection Against Keyless & Relay Theft

Modern vehicle theft can involve sophisticated methods designed to defeat factory keyless-entry systems.

The S5+ adds another layer of security by requiring recognition of an authorised Driver ID Tag before the vehicle can start.

This means that even if a thief manages to compromise the vehicle's original key authentication, the S5+ immobilisation system provides an additional barrier.

The TrackManager source specifically highlights the S5+ as providing protection against relay attacks through its Driver ID and immobilisation system.

GPS Journey History & Playback

The My Auto Security S5+ provides access to journey history and playback, allowing you to review previous vehicle movements.

This can be useful for understanding where a vehicle has travelled and reviewing journeys after an incident.

The platform supports:

• Live vehicle tracking
• Journey history
• Journey playback
• Interactive mapping
• Vehicle movement information

Geofencing

Create virtual geographical boundaries around locations that matter to you.

Geofences can be created around:

• Home
• Work
• Business premises
• Vehicle storage
• Depots
• Other regular locations

You can then receive notifications when the vehicle enters or leaves a defined area.

Speed & Motion Alerts

The tracking platform provides additional alert options including speed alerts and motion detection.

Speed thresholds can be configured so that you can be notified if the vehicle exceeds a specified speed.

Motion alerts can also provide notification when unexpected vehicle movement is detected.

Track Your Vehicle From Your Phone

The S5+ tracking platform can be accessed through iOS and Android apps, as well as through a web browser.

This provides convenient access to your vehicle tracking information without requiring specialist software.

You can view your vehicle's location, journey information and alerts from compatible devices.

Interactive GPS Mapping

The tracking platform provides interactive mapping to help you understand exactly where your vehicle is and where it has travelled.

Mapping features include:

• Live vehicle location
• Journey routes
• Journey playback
• Google Maps integration
• Street View
• Alternative map layers

4G Multi-Network Connectivity

Reliable communication is essential for a monitored vehicle tracker.

The S5+ uses a 4G multi-network roaming SIM, allowing the system to move between available mobile networks rather than being permanently tied to one network.

This helps maintain connectivity between the vehicle, tracking platform and monitoring centre.

Discreet Professional Installation

The S5+ is professionally installed and discreetly concealed within the vehicle.

Installation is carried out by an approved installer, with the immobilisation system integrated as part of the installation.

Because the S5+ includes engine immobilisation, correct professional installation is particularly important to ensure the system operates correctly and maintains its certification requirements.

Insurance Certificate

Following installation, an insurance certificate is issued.

This can be provided to your insurer as evidence that the vehicle has been fitted with the required Thatcham-approved security system.

Always check your individual insurer's requirements, including the required Thatcham category.

S7 vs S5 vs S5+

Thatcham tracking categories provide different levels of vehicle protection.

S7

Designed around monitored tracking, including tow-away, tamper and power-loss detection.

S5

Adds Automatic Driver Recognition and Driver ID Tags to the monitored tracking system.

S5+

Adds engine immobilisation to the S5 specification, providing No Tag, No Start protection.

For high-value and high-risk vehicles, S5+ provides the highest level of protection in this range.

Who Is the My Auto Security S5+ Suitable For?

The S5+ is particularly suited to vehicles where the highest level of monitored security is required.

High-Value Vehicles

Ideal for owners of expensive vehicles where theft protection is a priority.

Performance Cars

A strong choice for high-performance vehicles that may be targeted by thieves.

Prestige Vehicles

Suitable for premium and luxury vehicles where insurers may specify a higher Thatcham category.

High-Risk Vehicles

Some vehicles may have specific insurance requirements due to their theft risk. If your insurer specifies S5+, the S5+ system is designed to meet that requirement.

Business Vehicles

The S5+ can also provide an additional layer of security for valuable business vehicles.

What Happens If Someone Tries to Steal the Vehicle?

The S5+ is designed to provide both prevention and recovery.

If an unauthorised person attempts to use the vehicle without a recognised Driver ID Tag, the vehicle's immobilisation system prevents it from starting.

At the same time, the security system can generate an alert for the 24/7 monitoring centre.

If the vehicle is moved or an attempt is made to interfere with the system, relevant alerts can also be generated.

If your vehicle is stolen, contact the police immediately and obtain an incident or crime reference number, then follow the monitoring provider's emergency procedure.

S5+ Monitoring Subscription

The S5+ requires an active monitoring subscription because the service includes the 24/7 UK monitoring centre, mobile connectivity and recovery support.

The subscription is an important part of the overall monitored vehicle security system and should remain active for as long as your insurer requires the tracker.

Contact My Auto Security for current installation and subscription options for your vehicle.
