Hey, a friend of mine suggested that I get LoJack installed in my '03 D (alot of D thefts in the surounding areas). I was wondering if anyone here has had it installed, and if anyone here has had their vehicle stolen with it installed (did you get it back etc)? Its $700 for the install, so I would want it to be worth it... Thanks...

my truck was stolin lo jack worked awsome but i got it for free my uncle dose the pations for them but even if i had to pay i would recomend it i had my truck in a half hour after i noticed it was gone :woot:

I have lojack and i would recommend it to anyone who wants that extra security for their vehicle. my uncle had it in his car and it got stolen on a day that their system was down so they reimbursed him for all the damages. i also have it on my D and i parked illegally on night and when i woke up the car was missing. comes to find out my car was towed a couple blocks away (stoopid DC parking inforcement) and lojack helped to find it. i say go for it despite the price

Viper and LoJack are completely different systems. My opinion is if you don't live near another countries border.....by all means get the LoJack. Ive had a couple buddies retrieve their car in less than an hour w/ Lojack, but I also have a friend who realized too late their car was gone.......by then it was in Mexico. Thats the only problem with living in San Diego.

I have a similar system called Guidepoint. Basically the same idea. I don't know if Lojac has this, but mine has a 0.5 mile "security fence." Drive it from the point of origin, and you get a phone call from the center. I've even tested it, it works. I'd recommend a stolen vehicle locator of some kind.

DEI or Viper has the samething,GPS traking for the car (Durango)

Its about 700.00 installed,Will lock the doors or unlock,GEO fence as well,Set a waypoint (Home) and if the car gets a Preprogramed distance anway,It will noitify you (Celluar or E-mail),

Find a Lost-Misplaced Durango within 1 meter,Most work off GPS-Analog Celluar phone to locate the said Stolen car

Theres a FEE,Yearly and depends on the service

necro bump. :sorry:

i'm considering getting this... before i go balls out on more expensive bolt ons. i keep reading AZ is #1 in vehicle thefts, that bothers me. before i call 18004LOJACK, i wanna know what install costs would be... still at $700?

already invested in a viper 791, jimmijammers, club and autolock.

i say put a kill switch somewhere if u have no remote start and then no one can start it till u hit the switch just hide it good

there are several aftermarket alarm systems that have g.p.s. security and are alot cheaper then lojack. Ive been installing them for the last 3 years and have had great results

 

[dakota g33k]

do you do DEI installs? i already have the basic viper 791xv, and wonder what the gps extras would cost to add on.

 

[2manytickets]

most gps add ons are in the $300 range but are a simple 1 wire hookup to add

wouldn't that be a simple 1 wire disconnect to undo, then?
sorry, I have VERY little ie, NONE understanding of aftermarket alarm systems, so if someone wants to educate me, I'll listen

sorry, didn't realized it. Did a search for something and that's what came up...didn't think to check post date.
Don't think that makes my question any less relevant.
