This seems pretty decent...I wonder how it works in practice. Automatic and immediate tracking....

Apparently only available in Ontario and Quebec right now....
anyone got it?

HOW DOES BOOMERANG2 WORK?

Upon the installation of Boomerang2, you will be given two special transponders that you must keep with you at all times. You must attach them to your key chains, one on your regular key chain and the other on the spare key.

If your vehicle moves without the presence of one of your transponders:

• The Boomerang tracking team will immediately start tracking your
vehicle.
• At the same time, they will attempt to notify either you or the authorized contact person you indicated on your service agreement.
• Either yourself or the contact person will have to contact the police to get a report number.
• We will not delay tracking your stolen vehicle but require a police report number in order to return the stolen property to authorities.
• The police will then contact you or your authorized person.
BOOMERANG2 USES THE WIRELESS NETWORK…

Boomerang2 uses the wireless network to offer you the most cost-efficient and cost-effective tracking system available today. Boomerang2's tracking teams are standing by to protect you when you are in need, offering protection seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

• TWO-WAY COMMUNICATIONS. In case of a theft, your Boomerang2 will send a signal to our tracking team who will immediately commence tracking. You can leave your protected vehicle anywhere and be sure that if it is stolen, we will know immediately.
• 24-HR. MONITORING. Monitoring fees are $12.95/month payable 1 year in advance or $11.95/month, payable 2, 3 or 4 years in advance.




BOOMERANG2 PROVIDES:

• The assurance that we will know your vehicle is stolen even if you don't know;
• The ability to recover your vehicle and personal belongings should your car be stolen;
• Immediate theft notification;
• Immediate response to theft once it occurs;
• 24-HOUR PEACE OF MIND AND SECURITY. No more worries about leaving your vehicle unattended at the airport or other public parking areas;
• MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE. If we do not recover your stolen vehicle, we give you a new Boomerang2 (including installation) and pay for your monitoring fees for as long as you own your new vehicle;
• POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND/OR DEDUCTIBLES. Please contact your insurance broker for more

 

I know there was a theft of a Canadian R last week that was outfitted with a Boomerang. Not sure if it was the 2nd generation or not, though. Not sure if the Boomerang helped or not.

 

boomerang - They get your car into a truck or underground and you have no signal over wireless network...therefore useless

at least thats what was told to me by two different acura dealers (close friends)

-Rage

 

good point.

 

I have it on my X5, don't know chit about it though
