Halfords weFit - hardwire installation service
Halfords offer an installation service to hardwire the dash
cam which includes hiding the power lead behind the inner windscreen
surround. Then when you turn on the ignition the dash cam fires
up with no button pushing and begins recording. The hardwire
installation avoids the inconvenience of power cables hanging
from the dash cam down to a power plug. Halfords offer an upgrade
deal including the dash cam, an SD card and a hardwire kit
with installation. weFit |
Classic Tracker
Sadly classic car theft has become a serious concern for owners
of even modestly priced classic cars like MGV8s so having live
monitoring of your car available via your smart phone provides
alerts of any mischief with your car and enables you to take
prompt action that improves the chances of a successful recovery
of your car. Classic Tracker say "You own a classic, don't
make it history...."
Classic Tracker offers three service levels - SAFE, SAFER
& SAFEST
The services range from simple SMS-text based alerting only,
to full interaction with the police in the event your vehicle
is stolen. Their bundles comprise a Tracker, Optional Immobiliser
(*not available with SAFE option) and the SAFE, SAFER or SAFEST
subscription (1, 3 or 5 years). Classic Tracker's most popular
service is the SAFER package which includesa Remote Vehicle
Immobiliser with a relay that can, for example, enable the owner
to cut the low tension supply to the coil via a smart phone
thereby shutting down the engine of a stolen classic car and
bringing it to a halt. With movement alerts sent to your phone
an owner can be aleterted to movement of the car which provides
you with a prompt alert of any mischief with your classic car.
