01 · Overview
What it is.
The Pandora Microbot is a Thatcham Category 2e immobiliser, authorised by tag, PIN or phone. The Meta Trak S7 ATS adds monitored tracking and movement alerts, without driver tags.
They're two separate systems, each authorised its own way, so a thief has to beat both.

Before you enquire
Pandora Microbot + Meta Trak S7 ATS, answered.
01Why S7 rather than S5?
S7 is monitored tracking without driver tags, and costs less to run. If your insurer asks for S5, the Microbot with a ScorpionTrack S5-VTS is the pairing to look at.
