i know compustar is pretty pricey but i'm not positive where you can get them. my best bet is to call around some places that are close to you

first question is how much are you looking to spend and fuck lojack get gps if your gonna spend the cash

[jdm_nate]

at most 6 bills

screw lojack.....if ur gonna spend that kind of cash u could get a true GPS system

i install and can get compustar...or i can get you a great deal if u just wanna do some regular

The LoJack network is monitored by police and your GPS system is not. GPS is nice but I wouldn't run it by itself.

Yes, but with gps Advert can check EXACTLY where his car is 24/7 from his computer or phone, and if it moves he gets a call from them immediately.

I would go for a pager alarm (not neccessary though), multiple hood pins in the BACK of the engine bay, multiple HIDDEN sirens, and a backup battery with fuel kill.

A garage would be fantastic too

DO NOT skimp on security. I haven't even modded my car yet, and I have so much security I don't even fear for my car being stolen. Let alone if it does get stolen, I will be getting it back in a VERY timely manner. :)

I can't stress this enough, it's sad but don't turn your back to it. Peace of mind is awesome.

[SiR Mikey]

Add GPS and a handful of other goodies ;) and we have a similar setup I have. DO NOT skimp on security.
Cuz Jeffy is gangsta

That's good, but like I said, in my original post.....

With that being said, plan on taking the initiative on your own vehicle recovery with your GPS system. You need more that that. If you want monitoring service that is proactive like you described and will contact you... maybe LoJack with Early Warning system is for you. It's proactive and has the support and trace ability of law enforcement.

My buddy at work has lojack and it comes with a pager and calls his cell phone if his truck is turned on. But the pager only works if your in distance. God forbid if his cell phone don\'t have a signal at the time.

That is not lojack. They don't have pagers. I would know.

how many police cars do you think have a lojack unit in them to find a lojack car?

also how many cops are board enough to play a game of hot and cold?

and if a car is in a garage is that game enough to geuss wich garage it is on the street?

with gps you dont need that. you find out as soon as your car moves. the police are on your side when its a robbery in progress and the theif gets caught red handed before damage can be done.

im not a huge fan of compustar, the reciever is pretty unresponsive. I know it says it has a 6000 foot range, but at that range it is pretty unresponsive. Its a good alarm but totally not worth the money for it imo. I think layering the security is your best bet. GPS is nice, but you need to have a great hiding spot for the unit. The first thing you need to do is move the hood cable so they cant just reach into your fender to pull it. As far as gps goes, how accurate to they advertise it to be. I remember hearing that GPS accuracy was somewhere in the range from 10 to 50 feet, i hope its not the latter. Also i wonder how many satelites need to be in view for it to get an accurate signal? I would think it would need atleast 2-3 to triangulate your position.

3 is correct.

and at any given time at any given place on earth there is at least 7 over you :)

and if for some reason they cant be found they switch to cell phone networks.

and its about 3ft accuracy.

I think it was 10-50ft like ten yrs. ago. They got it down to a few feet know.

You are almost correct on this. I am a Satellite Communications specialist and I worked with these specific satellites with the Air Force when I was in the military. I am now a Communications Specialist working on Future Combat Systems for Lockheed Martin and I deal with GPS on a daily basis. That being said, as of April 2007, there are 30 actively broadcasting satellites in the GPS constellation. The orbits are arranged so that at least six satellites are always within line of sight from almost everywhere on the Earth's surface. If the GPS unit has line of sight on 2 satellites, it can use the curve of the earths surface to create the third intersection and give an accurate location within 15 meters for a civilian GPS. This is known as 2-D positioning. It is also possible to read the signal from four satellites to more accurately locate your position, known as 3-D positioning.

CN: GPS would be a highly effective way to keep track of your vehicle at all times!

OK my bad it's not a pager, I heard wrong.

Civilian GPS models are still in the 15 meter range (approx 50 feet).

Military GPS uses an advanced encrypted signal. With a crypto-key, the military receiver can access the Precise Positioning Service (PPS) signal of the GPS network which is not available to commercial GPS receivers. The PPS signal provides greater accuracy and greater resistance to intentional and or accidental jamming and spoofing. Accuracy of miltary receivers can be as little as a few feet.

mine has always been with in a few feet. now i know people who use other gps units and theres is about 50 feet.

Done deal

Since the Selective Availability(SA) was turned off in 2000, some commercial receivers have been able to achieve accuracy better than 50 feet, sometimes to within a few feet. But generally speaking the average civilian receiver will see anywhere from 10-15 meters accuracy.

Have adavert hook u up. He gets good alarms for cheap and does bomb ass installs

No one is willing to pay for a good install. Everyone wants shit for free.
