Hi Simon,
Our national installation partner is RS Connect. You may not have heard of them but they are the largest and by far the most capable company whom are carrying out automotive installs (on any scale) in the UK and beyond, we have an SLA with them to ensure every system is installed to our standard (& thatchams) including photographic evidence which will be stored for a minimum of 3 years.
All data is handled and held by our partner The Internationsl Security Register (The ISR - they hold millions of data on car codes, key numbers etc for manufacturers and are the most accredited database of its type - we don't see or touch any information on you or your car)
You're welcome down to our place anytime (just let us know you are coming) in Banbury to see a demonstration and a system if it provides peace of mind. If you check any of our sites to look at some of our clients, we deal directly with many motor manufacturers and would never release anything we felt would jeopardise our reputation.
Not to add fuel to the fire gents:
As for Portector,
This is a dedicated obd port protection device, it has no other function and no plans at all to extend into other areas, tracking, data capture or otherwise (trust me I own the company so can assure you of that).
Each to their own, all we've tried to create is a modern day solution to a modern day issue - fully appreciate a massive steering lock looking like mr happy on a £30-£100k motor works just as well (but looks ***** and totally impractical), as does cutting into the wires (if you're careful, not worried about warranty and know what you're doing) and plenty of other methods to protect your motor.. But when you decide to choose a motor, if you didn't choose a Kia Picanto to get you around although it ultimately does the same job, instead you chose a premier brand like Audi, why not opt for a premier system to protect the most known way to bypass the manufacturers security?
Insurers may decide that you should have obd security, that's true.. Not anyone's fault but their decision in order to minimise the risk of paying out for theft, unfortunately we aren't part of that decision nor can we influence it, that's just insurance. If anyone decides they'd prefer not to suffer like Luke then our system fits within a modern motor, is independently tested and assured by Thatcham for both security and integration into the vehicle. It's cost effective and the complete process of booking to installation is hassle free - trust me took months of meeting and a **** load of contracts and paperwork to ensure that's the case!
No drama if it's not for all, we fully understand and respect that. Any concerns just ask the question and I'll do my upmost to answer.
