Interesting note for those of you with an immobilizer. Today the wife and I drove up to Santa Fe, I had all the lights on, as I usually do for safety's sake while driving. I proceeded to park the car and inadvertently leave the lights on for over two hours. When I returned to the car I realized my oversight and crossed my fingers. It had plenty of battery left to crank the engine, but, apparently the voltage was low enough to freak out the immobilizer and it would not fire. Luckily I had my jumper plug in the tool kit and that remedied the problem. Interestingly, it would turn over but not fire for several tries, and then it resorted to its normal immobilizing function by not allowing the engine to turn over at all. So my suggestion is you all make one of these if you don't have one already as the need for it goes beyond the system breaking, and into the very real possibility of having a low to flat battery. Not that you have the same issues as most street rodders do with the placement of the battery, but having to remove panels etc to get to it could be an issue in some cases. In my Willys coupe, I mounted my gel cell behind the interior bulkhead and in front of the trunk front panel. But because all my doors and trunk were electric, if my battery went dead I was up the creek without the necessary equipment. So I used these from Jegs Auto Parts.  [url= http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/74140/10002/-1] http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/74140/10002/-1[/url] These are $41.99 for the pair. I had to use mine a couple times. I mounted them inside the rear fender well where I could reach them to hook up jumper cables. This saved my bacon more than once. I could see a set of these located outside someplace on a M3W for convenience sake. They’re brass so they do not rust or corrode and have the plastic snap attached covers. Just a thought for you guys.

Hi Dean
If a previous or another car in your ownership has/had Tracker, they will do a deal on the fitting cost for an additional car, but not on the annual licence cost. Give them a call.
I have a mixture of Tracker and Cobratrack between our little family fleet. It's becoming a pain that Cobratrack units will fail a monthly healthcheck 'ping' if they are kept in an underground bunker garage.
Also, try challenging your insurer - they seem to want them on everything nowadays. I had to put one on a MB A Class which seems a bit excessive
