About this app

Beame, a brand by MiX Telematics, ensures your stolen vehicle recovery is ‘Simply Sorted’. In the unfortunate event of car theft or a hijacking, Beame offers a recovery service with one of the highest recovery rates on the market. The Beame Smartphone App makes it easy to check on your unit’s status, report a stolen vehicle, request your insurance certificate, sign up for the Beame Protect service or register a claim if you already subscribe to the Beame Protect Service.
The app is free to download and can be used by all Beame customers. If you have an active Beame account, please email customercare@beame.co.za or call 0860 BEAME1 (0860 232 631) for your app login credentials.
The status on the app indicates whether your Beame unit is working and if the battery needs replacement – if you see a thumbs down then there may be a problem with the unit and you should contact us to resolve this.
Please note: Beame is for stolen vehicle RECOVERY ONLY. It's not a tracking service which enables you to view the live movement of your car on a map, therefore this app doesn't show your vehicle’s current location. Our sophisticated technology enable us to find your vehicle once you report it as stolen.
How does the Beame service work?
The small, wireless device is installed into vehicles, trailers, caravans, motorcycles and quad bikes by one of our approved fitment centres. The installation is quick and easy as it is not connected to the car’s battery or wiring. The Beame device has a Lifetime Warranty and is powered by a battery that lasts for at least 3 years, after which it will be replaced at no charge (T&C’s apply). National Network coverage ensures your vehicle is covered anywhere in South Africa. Jamming Detect technology can detect vehicle jamming to alert the Control Centre, helping to combat vehicle theft.
Beame is approved by all major insurance companies, and with VESA approval and ABS certification, you can rest assured that Beame offers the best stolen vehicle recovery service. Find out more here.
