Can you tell us more about this feature? Can it do something more than simply sms the gps co-ordinates? This hints at a feature like: can establish a gprs connection to an IP address you specify (running who knows what protocol/software) and upload *live* data. If that's the case, I'm in...

Im interested, if this question can be answered re GPRS connection to a static IP.

You might need to ask the distributor for the installation and user manuals, or get someone to scan them in and post them up.

Yes still on....

With regard to the GPRS connection to an IP address, this advanced function is probably more relevant for companies with a fleet of vehicles to track at the same time. So instead of using the low-cost SMS commands via GSM, the unit will constantly send data to your computer (with tracking software & modem) via GPRS which is pretty costly. This is the sort of function used by transport & logistics companies to track their fleet and they have a dedicated monitoring centre for it. That's why I think the unit's main sms command function is good enough for private uses since it won't cost you much at all (only sms's).

may be intersested.. i went to google earth ect..(a few other map sites) i couldnt find anywhere u could put coordinates in unless u pay for a subscription..?

In google earth, easiest way seems to be to add a "placemark", ctrl-shift-P or click "Add" menu, and select "Placemark"

Among many others, Google Maps are also mostly free and easy to use.

Use this link:

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Enter the coordinates that you've received in the sms, and that's it. For EXAMPLE: 33.877935 s 151.218958 e

Look like an awesome unit, by reading i assume its only a tracking device, and won't alert you if your alarm gets triggered?

This has been discussed before:

"You may also be able to use the main power cut alert function as an alert trigger, so if you have an aftermarket alarm system just connect a relay between the unit's power cable and the siren, that way when the siren is set off it will temporarily cut its main power and triggers its automatic alert. The unit will call your mobile phone if the main power is cut off for longer than +/- 3 seconds, so you will not get false alerts from locking/unlocking your car. This relay trick should work if the siren on the car blares continuously, not intermittently. Therefore, it should be okay with most aftermarket car alarm systems."

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
