while my type-r is still stolen and prob chopped up, i saw this on engadget today. if you got the money this is a good diy tracking device. for those who dont think lojack works, this is Charles Bronson style go find it yourself and kill the thieves gps locator you hide in your car. Battery lasts 3 wks and is rechargeable.

damn it runs off sprint network. this one is a cheap easy way there is a company out there that does this as well but cingular is partnered with them if you a web based phone you can install the tracking software on your cellphone and track it via cell i was looking at unlimited everyting for 3 year plan is 1147 not a bad price if the car has remote start you can do it wiht the cell lock your keys int he car can open with cell and if your lost in mall parking lot your cell phone can make your car honk tell you get within range. damn i forgot the company i have forgeting my notepad

yes they can, but they do not due so fo pivacy issues unless. you broke the law in a high matter murder ie. Cell phone mini gps for everyone to have.

I have been hearing alot lately through my sisters bf that they are trying to use cell phones with little kids as a tracking deviece to find abductors. I dont know much about it but i cant see much harm from it besides a little invasion in pivacyl.

 

it will be pretty fun to catch a cheating g/f, b/f tho haha

 

 

Hey guys, my cousin is running the exact same unit in his Type R. he didnt get it from that site though. He got it from a vendor in New Jersey. Many honda owners are using this device in Jersey these days. The battery life does not actually last 3 weeks on standby. It more like 2 weeks. It seems like a cool device. My cousin hides the unit under the backseat of the car and reception is pretty cool. He says he doesnt like it much b/c of constant battery change every 2 weeks. If you track it often from the net, the battery actually only lasts a couple more days than a week. If you guys have more questions on this unit I can shoot an email to my cuz. Peash~

UPDATE: it seems that the new anytrack is not battery operated but it can be charged up. I guess my cousin has the 1.0 model.

This is the coolest security device

If you have a spare java enabled phone, there are apps that can display a cellphones position on google maps.

The base Lo-jack has a high price(in comparison) tag that is a one-time fee. *Please correct if I am wrong* With this in mind, I don't see any logical reason to take lo-jack out once it has been installed. They now have offer several versions, including "Early Warning Detection" info here.

I have the Early Warning System. To test it out i went for a drive with out the "Key Pass". In less then 5 minutes I was called on my cellphone with a message saying my car had been moved with out the keypass and to check for tow or theft. I was happy

 

Try this one!

I myself am a firm believer in LoJack Early One. Its a bit pricy at about $1400, but well worth it. Lojack calls your cell phone once your vehicle has moved if the transmitter that they give you is not in the vehicle. If they can't get a hold of you they contact the local authorities and give them the location of your vehicle. Just keep the transmitter on your keychain and your good to go. I'll take some pics of the transmitter when I get home just to show you guys how small it is.

The only way to beat this system is for someone to steal your keys (very unlikely) or they break into your car and remove your dash. backseats, carpet, or basically your whole interior looking for Lojack and then removing it.
