Hi guys,

I live in Sydney and was wondering if there are any other vehicle tracking services out there? I was a quiktrak customer until they ceased trading and I still have the quiktrak system in my car...can I possibly reuse this technology with another provider or should I simply remove the hardware?

What is the latest on quiktrak?

I was hoping with today's 4g and app technology that there are more options than over 5yrs ago :)

The ORIGINAL one did not. The last versions DID.

How old was yours ? If pre 2008 then it was spread spectrum radio. If later (after I lost $65k in contracts) then they were sim based.

Mine was 2004ish.

I do remember seeing the unit and it was a little thin black box with an aerial hanging off it, kinda looked like a funnny walkie talkie hence I'd say it was spectrum radio.

We're u a founder / shareholder of quiktrak? (Lost 65k)

I did a Google search but couldn't find much other than u being a distributor. There is obviously a gap in the marketplace for this solution as I don't really hear of ppl using these tracking devices anymore...why is that?

It's on this forum.

I was selling their product from 2002-2009. Was successful with it until it cost me a council contract with 10 ferries in planning to be equipped with a modified version of that system.

Self monitored systems took over in reality. $5 SIM card and a cell phone dapple of yanking your car up on a map.

Fleets use a variant system but the idea is the same. GPS location and VMS at the base.

Self monitoring systems sounds interesting, can u recommend a particular vendor?

Hi Marko, did you find anything.

I have been looking for something as I am getting paranoid about spending a Shat load $s on mods and the insurance not covering the costs.

I want one that is wired in and I only want it if the car gets stolen and I can see where it is and report it.

They all seem to come with too much info, not wired in, fleet or base monitored systems

But I will keep searching :)
