Iirc tracker is a dealer fit option. I suspect what you have with that code is the emergency telephone tracker unit that is fitted if you have one of the tech options fitted for telephone ie they can find you if you hit the emergency number button

Is there a better way to spend a day. Lucky you

Assuming you close the deal, you are going to be driving along with your eyes inside more than out. Soooo many toys

Best of luck and have a great day. Can't wait
