Almost certainly magnetic. So just another reason to buy Audi ..
The offenders are not likely to be stopping at lights and the delay of stopping the car getting out getting around the back then getting back in .. precious seconds lost.
I agree with d8vh its a win win for forces of law and order.
In city chases at present they often have to take extreme avoidance risks when meeting traffic at lights etc. If the police are not right behind them but just tracking from a distance, they can be less desperate and also get chances to lose the tracker.
Even at present they often stop for the police and then take off again as soon as an officer is out of his car, the resulting gapping sometimes enabling them to hide in a estate etc, creating another removal chance.
The one time these might be useful is on the frequent occasions the police chase vehicle is ordered to stand down the chase for safety reasons. On those occasions the police often continue to search the likely area, so a tracker would help that. But of course it's also a tracker removal opportunity once the offenders know they are used.
There's a parallel with the Stinger, the puncturing device. When first introduced they were very successful, but the offenders soon realised that by constantly turning into and out of various roads the police have no idea on the ever changing route where to prepare a Stinger launch.

It uses some sort of adhesive to attach not magnetism. It would be interesting to see how well it's fixed.
