After Chris's 914 was taken, I called my Lojack rep for a service check. It still worked after being installed in 2002. The back-up battery was 76% and good for another 3 years.
The problem with the original LoJack is you have to call the police or LoJack after you realize the car is gone--a lot of valuable time can be lost. The newer LoJack with Early Warning solves the problem. The system has a motion sensor mounted in the car. If the car moves or is started by a person without a coded key-pass the LoJack sends a signal to to your cell or email. If the user has the coded key-pass, it stays in sleep mode. TThe entire package with Early Warning costs about $1.0K GPS units look like newer technological applications with greater potential, but monthly costs too. Please chime in on Lojack or GPS. |

This tracker looks to be pretty good. It is $279 with a starter kill option, and you dont have to pay a monthly or yearly fee. You can choose to only pay when you need to track the device. It allows you to kill the starter on the car as well, via the web.
