Tag tracking system

Anyone has the tag tracking system? Any pics of what is visible? Seems to be a Canadian, Montreal based company: http://tagtracking.ca

I recall my dealer mentioned something about it ($350, no monthly/yearly fees), I guess they'll offer it once I get the M4 delivered. And now that I looked at my insurance company, they partner with them. So it looks reputable.

According to their website, they install many self-powered nano-tags that last around 5years with a size close to a grain of rice ! I just didn't know that technology existed yet...

It seems it does in other fields, like animal tracking, ... http://www.futurity.org/mini-tags-tr...tworks’/

Very interesting...

I guess no one has it or everyone does and it's a known thing

Looks like a cool system. Only seems to have a network of dealers in Quebec, though.

Was offered that through my dealer but my insurance company didn't require it so I didn't go for it.

Interesting, I wonder what reduction it gives on insurance premiums. Also don't get why it's needed given the BMW assist program can locate the car in case of theft.

Did you get your M4? I recall you were waiting for an M4 delivery.

Yes Picked it up in early May, took it on a road trip to Toronto, a track weekend and already got 4,200km on it in less than 2 months!

The discount wasn't much with Tag, maybe $150ish/year ... I forgot but some companies required it to even get the insurance.

Try calling Wawanesa for a quote they were by far the least expensive for me and I was able to include replacement cost coverage (free for 48 months), since they don't usually include it on vehicles over $75k.
