Toyota fitting trackers for free on CH-R's?

[TBCTBC]

My wife has taken her CH-R in today for a service and MOT as the car is now 4 years old.

She's been told by her dealer (Waterlooville, near Havant in Hampshire) that they're fitting a tracker for free - anyone know what this is all about or any issues/concerns?

I've heard of insurance companies insisting on it but never a main dealer.

Can't help with the Toyota version.
I'm hopeless at doing a link, but if you go to lexusownersclub.co.uk, there's an article entitled Tracker about Lexus doing the same thing

Anecdotally I’ve noticed a lot of modern Toyotas getting nicked on a local area facebook group. I assume it’s the CAN system that they are plugging into.

No, it's a new(ish) car, registered in 2020, due it's 4 year service. Corrected the original post - apologies.

The paper work accompanying the tracker indicates it comes with a 3 year subscription, paid for by Toyota.
