Steve Hurt posted a few days ago that he had lost his 914. As it turned out, he did recover it, but this caused me to act on something I have been meaning to do for quite some time. I called Lojack.
I was able to negotiate a deal for 914World Members. In fact, quite a deal. I have copied and pasted the email that Derek Vinson, our LoJack representative wanted you to see. To get this deal, you must deal directly with him, and you must identify yourself as a 914World member. At this time, it is open ended but I would jump in quick. They will meet you at your home or a shop of your choice. Maybe we can get some regional stuff together by having events at different shops, Original Customs, 914LTD, CFR, etc... Here is Dereks letter to you guys... Dear Fellow 914 World Club Members, I wanted to pass along information regarding LoJack for Classics. I have negotiated a deal with LoJack that can save 914 World Members 57% off the regular price of a LoJack System. To take advantage of these great savings, be sure to call Derek Vinson at 800-838-1177 x4195 or email him at dvinson@lojack.com. See below for all the details…. LoJack offers the most effective solution for recovering a stolen vehicle.

That is a awesome price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I wonder why the recovery rate is only 90%, why not 100?

I asked that question. Sometimes, when the basic system is ordered, and the car is stolen from a storage situation, it isn't discovered before it's chopped, shipped out of the country, etc... The other thing that happens is the car is moved out of the 'coverage' area. It is a radio based system that has limited coverage in the middle of the country.
If you order the more expensive system, you are warned by text, phone call, etc, when your car is moved without your LoJack key fob within proximity of the unit. Then, theft from a storage unit would be jumped on. |

Before someone asks, the recovery is higher than the GPS based systems.

When I bought my 2004 Vette, I had the dealership put one on and it has never given me any indication of trouble. We watch the Vette like a hawk and watch where we park. The LowJack gives us additional security and is highly recommended by us. I would never have a specialty car without it's installation. I think I paid just a little over a thousand dollars and do not know where the unit is installed on the car.
I think the system has been drastically improved since 2004. I will think bout it for the Alfa and the Sixer. Great job of providing information. Steve Hurt |

I plan on the basic system for my 914-soon to be 6 and my 240Z. I have limited exposure since the rarely are not garage parked. But, I do go to events and the car rides a trailer or is parked in a hotel lot. $295 is cheap for that peace of mind and my insurance company says they will give me a discount for installing the system.

Does this have to be installed by a dealer? There are no dealers close to me.

It is a radio based system that has limited coverage in the middle of the country. Cell phone actually, but yes, there are spots in the US that do not have coverage. This is a great price btw., good job! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Their video seems to say it's not cell or GPS... ? I doubt they pay through their nose to use satellite transmissions or worse, short band. Most tracking devices use cell phone carriers to transmit their data. That has absolutely nothing to do with GPS. You don't transmit data through GPS, you use GPS to determine your location, speed, heading and local time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

If it requires no power when are the batteries changed and how much are they? Who can do that and who installs the system. Sounds like a great price. I just want to know the bottom line. Thanks.

Is there any maintenance fee? I suppose a battery fee at replacement time. But any other service fees? I was thinking about putting it on a trailer but also have no close centers and wondered about install?

Great deal Rob and thanks for the initiative. I want this for my Six without a doubt for the peace of mind. But for the next year I am pretty sure that it will be locked in Scotty's shop. I am hopeful that when the car is ready for LoJack the deal will still be available. I would opt for the early warning system in this situation.

How's this work, Rob. We call Mr Vinson and he "groups us" with others at location to be named. I'm wondering if we can make it easy on them as a return favor. I'll bet SoCal will have at least 20 members wanting one.

My 914 is at Original Customs in Sonoma California. They are going to do that one there. My 240Z is at home, they are going to do that one at the house. They will pretty much come to you wherever. They even told me at work.
I wasn't told a fee for replacing the battery, perhaps there is one. They are on about the same schedule as pacemaker batteries so I suspect, the same kind. There is no maintenance fee. There may not be coverage in Colorado. I will get Derek to give me a coverage map and post it here. But, really, all of these questions can get answered by simply calling him. |
