Is this any good?

No idea, but I'd be concerned about Note 2:
2.As to the review of my customers,this Mini A8 Tracker could not be
used in El Salvador/Slovakia/Spain/UK/Sri Lanka,due to the GPRS Network.

That's odd. It claims to be a GPS tracker, it's printed on the box, and the photo shows a GPS antenna but Note 1 says that it does "not rely on GPS positioning, rely on the GSM/GPRS baseband station location".

Weird! Mind you, at £21 I might try one and see.

I saw the same one on Banggood's website at twice the price! The only review says it works for months now, very accurate GPS but it doesn't have a remote or shock sensor.

There are a couple of good makers Xenun and Coban, maybe a few others and a load of rip offs. For that money it will be rip off, it may work, or it may not, your call.

I agree with John That sort of cheap Chinese / Asian electronic stuff generally works for a short while then not. At £21 it is not much of a gamble, but nothing worse than when you buy anything and it is crap......my experience is based on in car Bluetooth FM transmitters and tv Cast dongles.

ive heard stories of toerags going to classic car shows and hiding gps trackers in the car of their choice. they can then track it back to the garage its stored in and steal it in their own time!

Something for everyone to be aware of!

Sounds plausible, some have magnetic backs and large batteries.

I'm looking at one from this company......https://www.rewiresecurity.co.uk/ No connection whatsoever............You've got a choice of two cards if you choose the Data only one. it works in the EU at no extra charge, although saying that it does cost £55 per year on top of purchase price or you go for pay as you go needs topping up every 90 days as long as you can remember to do it, and some of the units can connect to ignition or fuel pump and be triggered remotely, the one or two I'm looking at are the FM 1110 or the 104 Pro.....If you give them a call they are very helpful. I know somebody who's got the FM1110 and it seems very good.....Worth having a look at there site.

Like I've said before I have no connection with this company

specification seems to have been written by a 1st language english person.

99% feed back on 1/4 million sales is good.

really cant say about the product though, it probably 'runs on smoke' !!!! as in its electronic!!!

They also sell the 103 which is the same one on eBay that I just ordered.

And if you bought on ebay with paypal you have protection anyway if it don't work.

I buy loads of stuff, especially electronic stuff from china through ebay, never had a problem with any of it, and it is dirt cheap .. most expensive thing I bought from China was a front suspension strut for my Mercedes, 700 quid in UK, 170 quid shipped from China, been on 2 years with no issue's.
