Saw a commercial for a new company selling personal GPS for cars, and pets. Its only cost $199.99 for the gps and $9.99 a month or $144 for year subscription
Its last about an 5 days on the battery

It also has text message alerts for the safety zone you can set

What do you guys think about it?

ummmmmm $10 a month for 12 months = $120, vs. $144 for a year???? wtf is that all about?

Where care u gonna put a GPS unit where a theif isn't going to find it, but its easily accessible for you to change the batteries every week?

Sounds like an excellent and cheap idea if u can hide it well. And I think re-chargable batteries would be friendly as well

 

it charges on 12vdc so why not splice in the charger to a live wire from the battery? you can keep it hidden and charged all the time

 

$144 a year for unlimited use

And I was thinking the same in wiring it directly into the power of the car

 

meh, just change the batteries when it gets stolen :D

yeah, i'd hardwire the charger and mount the unit behind the glovebox or something where it won't be SUPER easily found

and the ability for me to track it, as opposed to a cop hearing a beep if he's within X distance is much better in my book, you can pack a few friends and find it yourself

 

Seems like a good idea. Its rediculous that they don't just build these kind of features into cars in the first place.

 

yea especially that its so cheap now

 

Theyve been hitting TV with a Super Commercial Campaign this week.....I just saw it......electronic leash for all!!! I feel sorry for todays kids......All it means is they will be 10x worse when them go to college!

Great idea for the car.......Imagine the future with it, cheaper/better.....we may have a shot at keeping our Hondas from getting jacked!!!! YEAH!!!!

 

yeah, until they come out with a transmitter blocker that blocks the signal

...o wait
