I had monitored tracking with anti-theft alarm system in a previous car.
Also had remote unlocking and shut down. My experience wasn't good. Car got sideswiped without triggering their alarm so no phone call. Phone calls for alarms that didn't happen. Due to a series of events, I also found out there were far too many blackspots in highly populated areas. Mounting an external aerial didn't help. I ran a test with a monitoring operator one night. I drove the car like a stolen joy ride. Tracking location was always so far behind me it was useless. I eventually parked in a known blackspot. The last definite location he had on me was roughly 1km away. If you don't drive the car often, you also need to check the battery drain. I knew I had to run my car every 7 days or by day 10 it would be dead flat. I won't elaborate on any specifics but I do recommend doing your homework on the company and system you consider. |

I would not use the system you are talking about, I would get the sim one, where it is not affected by sky view etc, only problem is if there is no mobile coverage, but there is allways a draw back isn't there??
I am happy to have some idea where my car is and what suburb and general direction its traveling in rather than no idea at all without the system. For all I know the car might be just in the next street and I don't even know its there, so I am pretty sure a tracking system will be a great idea, rather than just be looking at an empty garage with no idea. Get this sort of device and you can track it yourself with your phone or laptop of ipad. I think this one supports satellite as well as mobile coverage, so even better: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GPS-TRACKER-S...#ht_2550wt_952 Last edited by XB GS 351 Coupe; 10-01-2011 at 04:43 PM. |

It's a 1967 fastback and appears to be a Shelby replica (may even be a real one)

I have an iPhone and you can locate my iPhone using the maps with great accuracy, even which room of the house your in - so if the GPS one does the sane then well worth the small price.

Some of these tracking systems are getting pretty good. Might have to get a couple....
