Id rather just have to replace the window after a break in then find my car missing

Thats for sure . By the way if you get one of them dont lock it in 5th ( they can drive in 5th no worries ) , lock it in reverse .

Dont mean to be rude guys. But the guys that are in Sydney and have a tracking system give your tracking company a call as my tracker doesnt work outside the metro area. As soon as you get on the F3 just after Hornsby there is no more signal until you get to Newcastle. And heading South I think Wollongong is the limit as well. I only know this as I sold a car with Quiktrak to a guy that lives in Terrigal and he rang them and they told him it was useless to him as there is no coverage there.

Thats quiktrak , they don't have any cover outside sydney at all and its old technology .

The latest trackers use gps to track ( as long as its above ground you can track it ) and gsm to communicate .

With the gps tracker you dont have to pay annual fee you can track your own for the cost of a phone call.

That sounds cool. Much better than the old system.

We have all our fleet at work tracked using the satellite/ gsm system and it is a wonderful piece of gear.

We have a pc with large hard disk space that was included in the package which we are able to "live track" the vehicles when they are on the road to see there position.

If we dont live track the vehicle, as soon as it returns to base it auto downloads its days events through the aerial we have mounted on the roof of the depot.

In relation to systems that dont get coverage everywhere, we originally had this system years ago and as mentioned dont use satellite technology.

They work ( well ours did) on the old analogue/cdma mobile phone towers and triangulated your postion from the nearest 3 towers hence when in remote/rural areas we lost track of the vehicle.

Just wondering how they drive it in 5th?

My car is stuck in 3rd gear at the moment and I had trouble hill starting (smelt burning clutch heh)..

You cant drive it in 3rd gear ? you got to be kidding !

Do you think the thieves will care if they burn your clutch ? They take the car away then cut the lock when they get their grinder going .....

Lock it in reverse and they cant get far ...

these tracking system's seem almost bullet proof how ever i wonder if its worth getting that system when you have full-insurance!!!

Don't forget you buy insurance just in case you don't want to use it though .

If you have a high performance car stolen it will be hard to get insurance again and if you do can you imagine the price !!!

If its stolen and recovered you are going to be out of pocket as well , most people would have high excess for theft .

Some insurance companies will give you lower premium if you have a tracker , mine will not cover me without it .
