Mercedes spies on drivers by secretly installing tracking devices in cars and passing information to bailiffs

Well, there goes next year’s purchase of the new AMG convertible.

Mercedes installs these things (it says) so the company can recover them in the event of a repo situation.

(From The Sun)

“Locating the car is part of the repossession process and is not permanently tracking customers.

“It is only activated in exceptional circumstances where the customer has breached their finance agreement and repeatedly failed to reply to requests to contact us.”
