Macan is now 10 months old and had my first Tracker activation call today 🤣

Checked the fob, light still flashing! Hope this is not a regular occurrence from now on! Guessing I’m going to have to change the battery a bit early if it happens again! The battery is a bugger to get at sometimes.

Anyone else had a call lately 😁

Did you get a warning come up on the rhs (graphic display) of the instrument cluster? The battery had gone in my fob and when I turned on the ignition a warning came up with a picture that looked a bit like a SIM card.

Not yet, but may be worth replacing the battery anyway

Just been to pick up my lad from school and it hasn’t happened when I turned the ignition & drove off !

Batteries are just a couple of quid so will try that before I get any more calls 😁.
If it happens again after I put a new battery in then I’ve either put the battery in wrong or there’s another issue 🫣

You should have 2 fobs. Use new one, change battery in the one you're using. NB place a small lable on the one with the replaced battery and date.
