what are the pros and cons to lojack...please help me out...i'm thinking about getting it and want to know everything about it.

 

ive heard mixed emotions on lojack.

 

Pros- if they are trying to actually steal your car, there is a better chance that police find the car.
Cons- Most theft is they either break in and steal your ECU, stereo, whatever or they drive it a few minutes away, steal your wheels and leave it, in which they will find car anyways, and you spent $600 on nothing.

 

what did you hear ferrell?

 

LoJack does "NOT" work. 2 of my friends both with 2000 civic si w/ LoJack installed, guess what both cars were never ever found again. Thieves are getting smarter these days they have ways to get around it. I had lojack in my old coupe, and when i was stripping the car, i found the lojack device duct taped inside the back of the cup holder.(if you have a 6th gen civic its that middle plastic part of the center console where the shifter, shift boot and cup holder are.

Who do you think designs these things. Thieves that's who.

 

anyone have good experiences with lowjack?

 

Only way I would mess with Lojack was if I didnt have full coverage. But I do and if my car is ever stolen, I dont ever want to see it again. Would rather just take the money from insurance and move on.

 

anyone else?

 

LoJack doesnt really work most of the police dept. dont even have LoJack Locating systems.

 

Here is my dealership experience with Lohack. They are always installed with either duct tape or wood screws, sometimes both. I can find a Lohack in less time than it can find me. If you want a theft deterrent I suggest something physical not electrical. I can go around wires way easier than a pedal locking device. Lohack sucks.

 

yup when i found the lojack device behind the cup holder, it was held by 2 screws and some duct tape. there you have it LOJACK is a waist of money

 

Behind the cup holder?! What theif, that knows anything about Lohack, wouldnt look there, or even for it or an alarm. They are ghetto, you might as well use a ball of yarn tied to you house to track your car.

 

Why wouldn't you relocate it?
