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. In fact, our proven technology and direct integration with law enforcement have allowed us to achieve over a 90% recovery rate – and many of those recoveries happen within just a few hours of the vehicle being reported stolen.



LoJack® Corporation, the company that invented the stolen vehicle recovery market, offers LoJack for Classics, a Stolen Vehicle Recovery System that is specially designed to meet the unique requirements of classic cars and help owners protect the investment they make in these one-of-a-kind vehicles. The system leverages LoJack’s next generation, self-powered Stolen Vehicle Recovery Technology, which offers several advantages that make it ideally suited to classic cars, including:

· A self-powered system that does not draw energy from a vehicle’s battery, and as such does not need to be connected to the vehicle’s electrical system.

· Carefully controlled installation that is covert, non-invasive and performed by a certified technician.



LoJack offers two key recovery solutions to meet the needs of Classic Car owners, which are outlined for you below.



LoJack for Classics Stolen Vehicle Recovery System: $695.00 (one-time payment) – special discounted pricing for 914 World members- $295

The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is the only system used by the police, and is proven to track and recover your stolen vehicle or your money back. If your vehicle is stolen, LoJack’s proven technology uses a small hidden transceiver to send a signal to police, silently leading them to your vehicle’s exact location. Coverage areas do apply.



LoJack for Classics Stolen Vehicle Recovery System with Early Warning: $995.00 (one-time payment) - special discounted pricing for 914 World members- $595



Don’t give thieves a head start—upgrade your LoJack system with Early Warning and know when your car is on the move…without you. With Early Warning, your car is equipped with a motion sensor that is uniquely linked to a Key Pass you add to your keychain. If your car moves and the sensor cannot detect your Key Pass, you will be notified by phone, email, or text message if your vehicle has been moved without your authorization.* This is our most popular package. Coverage areas do apply.

*Please consult the LoJack Owner’s Manual for details regarding the timing and circumstances of the Early Warning notification.

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.

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.

Yes, even better than I imagined. It's a shear numbers deal, he asked how many (non) members we had and I said almost 15K. He came back with the 57%

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

Cell phone actually, but yes, there are spots in the US that do not have coverage.


This is a great price btw., good job!

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.

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.

I'm told ten year battery life.

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.
