Answer: Tell the insurer. The device may need to be removed, returned, deactivated or left in the vehicle.
Do not remove equipment just because the buyer asks
Some devices are intended to stay in place until professionally removed or deactivated. Others belong to the insurer and may have to be returned. Sort this out before handover day so it does not delay the sale or create an unexpected charge.
The policy and the car need to be separated cleanly
Selling the vehicle does not transfer your insurance or telematics account to the buyer. Tell the insurer when ownership changes and follow its instructions for any fitted, plug-in or windscreen device.
