I have a Quiktrak system installed in my car and I wouldn't use anything else.

You pay a bit for them but they are worth it. I would say get it because if your car is nicked at least they can get it before they do too much damage to it.

Plus I think insurance company’s love them.

Ezitrak much better and you monitor it yourself if you wish, Quiktak have very limited cover .

They are useless outside Sydney metro, I live about 10 minutes form the F3, if someone stole it and drove on the F3 in another 10 minutes they can be out of range for good . At least with GPS I'll know as soon as they moved it . even if ot was a metre. Don't forget everytging has limitations, in my case nobody will start my car, even they use another computer. the only way to take it is by towing it .

correct. though the coverage is sydney wide. in brisbane its gold coast -> redcliffe -> marburg.

if they tow it you will know. if they force entry you will know. if they get it started QT will shut it down.

the system works if you are within the area it serves.

I know exacly how they work and I had several in my cars pre-GPS systems. When you say wide coverage in Sydney, its only metro 20km north of Hornsby and thats it . If you stole the car from hornsby in less than 10 minutes its out of coverage .

thanks for the replies guys

ended up still getting Quiktrak and the main point being someone else tracks it, immobilise it, rings the cops for me. If i cant afford to pay roughly $1 a day to get the car monitored then I may as well get a Barina or something

From ezitrack.com.au

"Simply call your eziTRAK® at any time, to immobilize, obtain information relating to location, nearest cell site reference, distance from home base or last parking position. "

To me, whats the point of me calling them to say its stolen, immobilise it and for me to ask where the car is? and by the sounds of it, I have to ring the cops myself and tell them to check it out?? by that time the car's probably torched or something.
