    First of all, I would suggest something a little more user operated, like a GPS locator. It's a small box that can be easily hidden along with the antenna that can be out of sight in a pillar or something. It's hardwired into your electrical but 3 day battery backup packs are available.

    Secondly, i would suggest against posting whether you have it or are getting it or not nah mean? BUT if people are just interested in how it works, etc. then PM me.

    Benefits of a GPS Locator:
    • Get an instant real-time location 24hrs a day with internet access (PDA, cell, computer, etc.) (looks like a dot on mapquest)
    • Set a "Geo-fence" or "Geo-boundry" - Make a box on the map and if the vehicle leaves that area then it instantly notifies you via e-mail, cell, etc. (depending on the features)
    • Unlock & remote disable is an option (log on and you can do either from the internet, again depending on options purchases and how you wire it up)
    • My favorite, top speed of the day is e-mailed to you
    • Some companies offer a timer, say you sleep 11pm to 6am and you can set it so it notifies you if the vehicle moves at all during that period (again, either by e-mail or cell)

    Cost:
    • Initial cost is usually $300 to 500 for the unit
    • Monthly fee's start at $3.00 to $7.00, and go up to $60+ (unlimited everything)

    I'm sure i've left a bunch of things out but if anyone wants to PM me on this so i can get a number then i MAY be able to find a group buy deal.

    Yeah but the GPS doesnt work with the police and I would assume you would be the one who would have to try and get the car back, with no help from the police. But I woul dbe interested in a group buy on the GPS

    yes and no, you call 911 and say your car was stolen and this is the location, end of story...and when dispatch sends that info out you know any officer is gonna be all over it be he/she already has the location.
