LoJack, or equivalent... Suggestions?

I am thinking about getting a LoJack-style security device installed on my 91. Does anyone have any suggestions/comments? Thanks!

Dont waste your time. Lojack only transmits locally. They say it sends its signal 3-4 miles but knowing what I know about radio and transmission of radio waves, i find that highly unlikely. Do what I did. Buy a unit from rentaltrack.com and stick it up in your dash behind the glove box. Its as big as a pack of cigarettes and black, very generic looking. Put an official looking Honda part number and decal on it like I did ... Its 5.00 a month to keep it active, and you can track the unit from a website. Now when your car gets stolen, dont call 911. Watch it moving on down the road, and call the police and have them follow you to where it stops.

Wow, that sounds cool! I like the ability to track it online... Thank you!

Really?

It's only five bucks a month? Looking at their features page:

it seems almost too good. The Starter disable is especially cool.

What happens if they go out of business?

So... what's the cost? Only $5 a month? Do you have to buy the unit itself? Sounds very interesting!

Well, this will open a can worms... drop the car off for service, go home and watch them race your up and down the street on your computer.

Hey, at least you can have piece of mind leaving your car places. Like at the dealership where they put 172 miles on it for an oil change!! hehe

Sounds like the perfect product for a stalker to hide inside the car of his victim...
