do u have any for sale for the 295..

also curious how quick it sends u a message after the battery is dsconected.. meaning if u disconnect it for 5 seconds or less and put the power back on would it still sms u..? because i was thinkn u would b able to hook it up to a relay so when ya interiorlight comes on/door opens it will cut power ant send u an sms..

Yes, as mentioned before, you can use this method to trigger the alert. Once the main power gets disconnected for longer than 3 seconds, you will get the alert on your mobile phone. It usually takes around 5 to 8 seconds for you to get the alert from the time the main power is cut off.

Thanks gtr_z, my unit arrived about a week ago, I have just not had a chance to have a 'play' until now... actually got it about 4 or 5 days after paying via online transfer? Pretty quick!

Very impressed so far... comes with an active GPS antenna which even works accurately from inside my house (where other GPS's I've tested - bluetooth PC ones for instance - don't get a reliable signal).

A small caveat, FYI re: SIMs:

You need to disable the PIN code on your SIM, if you have set one whilst it was in a mobile phone, to use with the unit.

Great little device, should work nicely. My backup battery came to me charged and working too - switched it on right out of the box (after connecting antennas of course)

Still going...

It doesn't consume anymore power than the average full alarm system.

Can anyone post a manual for this?

I'm interested in utilising the advanced features of GPRS.

[gtr_z]

Still on.....

[deeph]

finally installed it... great product!

thanks mate

Pretty keen for a manual as well to check out the advanced GPRS features. If it does work the way I hope, I'll buy as many as 10 units!

Im keen for one, let me know when things are ready

[R33_Cam]

does anyone know if this has no GPS signal and you SMS it to ask it where it is, will it give you the last known GPS co-ordinate? i read in the details at the top that it will give you the GSM location but this is kinda useless if your in a big city and your car has been stolen and is in some garage somewhere, it would be good if it gave you the last known location then it would make it alot easier to locate?

also how long does the backup battery last for if power is cut to the unit?

[gtr_z]

The manufacturer claims the back-up battery will last for 48 hours if the main power to the unit is cut. I have never tested it myself, I can't really say for sure if it's accurate. The unit will alert you after 3 seconds if the main power is cut or if your battery dies anyway. The unit still works (all GPS, GSM & GPRS) even though it's well hidden in my car inside my full-brick lock-up garage.

Hi mate, just wondering if you know if this will work with nokia N82/95/96 maps?

It should if you can enter the GPS coordinates manually on those phones the same way as you do on online maps such as Google Maps/Earth. You may want to check if your phone has this 'manual-entry' function.
