Tracking device =$2.35/month insurance savings (for BOTH cars)... I can't think of any way to make this work, but I figured I'd share what USAA is offering for a discount, at least here where I live. Can any of your think of a way to make this work?
Background:
The only additional discount that my insurance offers is for a vehicle tracking device. Very little information is provided online about what kind of tracking device is acceptable and if it needs to be professionally installed, so I inquired via online chat. The quote from the adjuster when I asked this question was as follows:

We have pretty much zero risk of car theft where I live, but we do visit major cities relatively often and leave our car at the airport during longer-distance travel, too. I doubt my vehicle would be stolen from the airport long-term lot and I don't think Subarus are high up on any thieving lists, but a discount is a discount, so long as I'm not paying for it. Brings me back to the above question - is there any way to make this work? Seems impossible, since any service that would report to the police would cost way more than the savings just for the monitoring service.
