I've heard they're pretty shite and the company is going out of business.

Apparently the area tha quicktrack monitors is pretty poor, some say its a triangle in the city centre of sydney and thats about it.

Thats just what ive heard so take it with a grain of salt.

I have not used any of them and don't know much about them. But if you do end up buying one I'd be curious to opinions :thumbsup:

Hi kgangulw,

I am an authorised installer of Quik Trak's. DONT BUY ONE!

Quik track is a fair alarm system, if you live work and only ever travel within its coverage zones.

For a better product, check out the car minder system, it works on GSM technology, which means depending on the sim card you put in it the coverage will be huge. ( a lot larger than quik track will ever be)

You will also save on the monitoring fees because you will only be paying for a sim card. I usually recommend something like a cheap optus/voda plan. Telstra SUCK!

You will get similar functions to a quiktrack but you will have access to it from any phone on the planet.

EG - car is stolen with your mobile phone in the console

- go to phone box

- call car

- shut down motor

- get gps position

- recover car

Easy, Just make sure the people putting in the system know what they are doing.

Please note, i do not work for either carminder, quiktrack or Cobra, I am just referring you to a better product.

pj,

I'm going to play devils addvocate here ( and yes I'm a dealer also.)

what say I find a nice 33 and have a GSM jammer handy? that is going to kill the GSM side of the unit long enough for me to find it ( if its tucked under the dash) and turf it. welll installed - not a problem I'll move on.

I like the quicktrak system for one reason- you cannot jam it. you are correct onthe downfalls though range is great if youare in the coverage area.

I know of another system that is GSM based you you can track yourself but I have yet to lay hands on it or try my 'toy' on it so I cannot comment.

    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
    • lol that caught up a year quickly! good to see you on the track again, hoping to do it myself one day
    • Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
