Holders of prestige car insurance who are planning to purchase a new vehicle may be interested to read that one automobile supermarket has fitted its models with a new device which aims to add an extra level of security.
Motorpoint has developed its Pinpoint system, which has various functions, including allowing the vehicle's buyer to track the coordinates of their car upon collection.
Website femalefirst.co.uk reports that a car owner can send a text message to the device to find out where the vehicle is parked as long as it is within ten metres, and input the data into a free mapping service over their mobile phone to pinpoint the exact location.
In addition, the system could help drivers avoid a prestige car insurance claim should a thief try to steal the vehicle, as it has an immobilisation facility which can also be triggered via SMS messages.
Vehicles now often come with an immobiliser to increase security, as the facility protects against the car being driven away in the event of a break-in.
