[QUOTE="mikelsc, post: 2261077, member: 52377"] How much does it cost? That is not an easy question to answer because there are so many types of GSM/GPS systems around. Sometimes, it can get real confusing because there are systems that is just GSM alone. An example would be the http://www.dcomtrading.com advert on the fourm page. They sell a GSM only system for RM799 (just answering a question about cost ok?:regular_smile: ) That is straight forward but realise that there is no GPS involved. The method of locating the vehicle uses the "find a friend" service .. "somewhere in Tun Dr Ismail" ... I mentioned earlier. You should visit this dcomtrading site and read what they write. Quite impressive but if you want your car you will have to react immediately .. within 5 mins .. so they recommend. Then comes the GSM/GPS type systems. Frankly, all (without exception) GSM/GPS systems I know have a call center that monitors and some will actually have ground crew that will recover the car for you, if they can find it lah. Some one like Captor have a GSM/GPS system but they sell it together with their regular RF tracking device. I understand it to be about RM1800+ installed and about RM150 yearly recuring fees. Many may ask why captor have a two system combo? I guess it is because when one works the other dont and if both dont work your file is passed on to the insurance agent. :angel_smile: If you go for the iMOB that is popularized by cycle and carriage .. to be installed in mercedeses, then you are talking abour RM4,000+ installed and I am not sure how much recuring fees is involved. I dont own a mers so i didnt bother asking. (Actually, i dare not ask). As for this new product, who knows? I guess they are keeping it quiet untill the launch. Nonetheless, this is the only GSM/GPS product that allows you to track yourself, with maps, satellite pictures and history. Do you think it is a good idea to have a GSM/GPS product integrated with the central locking system and alarm system also? As i mentioned earlier, there is this active security thing and then there is this passive security. The active security is what the thief will attack because he/she (there can be lady thiefs also) can see it. If the GSM/GPS system is combined with the car alarm system, it will also be attacked. I personally feel that the two should be kept seperate .. like a trojan horse .. the thief will bring the active GSM/GPS device with him and we want him to do it. If the GSM/GPS is disabled also then we have lost not just the car but also the thief that took it. [/QUOTE]
