Get a boost mobile i335. Install instamapper app from there website. Get pay as you go plan for $10 for every 90 days, Hot wire it to your battery underneath your hood. Turn GPS on and follow your car in real time from the instamapper website. Car gets stolen, follow the gps to it. Phone with never die when hooked to the battery. App is free too.

Does LoJack do group buys? I could've sworn I've seen it talked about here before and it always comes back that there's no group discount.

Do you have to pay monthly for lowjack and if you do how much.

where do you go about purchaseing Lojack cause im definitely interested in keeping my foxbody too!! [patriot]

I have Lojack but you'll definitely want to get the early warning alert. It'll be useless without this unless you want your car recovered as a bare shell.

Basically the early warning alert has a key fob you always carry with you. If the car is moved without the fob within minutes you get a phone call/email/text telling you the car has been moved without authorization. This gives you ample time to call cops or Lojack to begin tracking car before the thugs start stripping your car of aftermarket parts.

The last time I checked out lojack it cost $700 for the service and installation and then you didn't have to pay again. Once you had it then that's it...

its 1000 for the instant message and phone call gps monitor if your whip gets moved either way if they are fast enough they can strip ur whipo and guarantted to find it with in three days but might be completly faded ^ i like the phone app way but a bit of a pain to setup

i only got 9 bucks off my monthly [BS flag]

Well its a percentage. And my records so fucked up that any percentage off mine is gonna be way more that most. Plus it probably won't be that much. I'll let you know after I talk to ins.

If you contact lojack I'm sure t hey can provide the cert that you give to your insurance.

My insurance guy just laffed at me, saying "It aint gona keep your car from getting stolen!" SOOO I flipped him off and got a new insurance agent.

It's a one time price to get it. No monthly cost at all.

Im Here! lol

Open the app and never turn it off. Thats how you keep it running. Did you get the 12v charger with it too? Hope so because now you can hard wire it to her battery, under the hood. With the app open and always charging = Redneck lojack.

login on the site via smart phone and book mark it. Can track vehicle with that.

Cousin has his for like 5 months now with no issues.

I'm looking for ideas on where to hide, any thoughts??

if you take sugestions there is a chance that one of the rat bastards that is stealing our cars would know where to look rip it out and toss it also possibly make a sugestion to save time

Ima do that true gps tracking device and just wire it under the dash with a hot wire or a mini back up battery that should work
