GPS Anti-theft Tracker?
Hi, apparently LoJack is ceasing sale of new units in the US as of last year.

I'm thinking about other options.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have read that in order to deter using airtags for stalking purposes, they emit a chirp ever minute or two. So I am not sure it would work for this application. Though I did think of that myself.

How to defeat the chirping? Maybe put some modeling clay in the beep holes?

That is why I was thinking something like LoJack, maybe similar to what is used for fleet management?

I wonder if it would be OK for me to (re)post this over in the 5th Gen forum?

Go with a Compustar T13, it will do everything you need and stuff you didn't know you needed.

PRO T13 2-Way Remote Start & Security System | Compustar

Only way to go IMO since deterrence is more important than just tracking.

DEI makes some options too.

Thanks, I will look into it.

And the DEI. Was hoping to find something to hardwire to power so I don't have to bother about the recharging.

"Geofencing" seems like something good, if it leaves my house etc.

PS I don't exactly understand the deterrence aspect of the Compustar, could you explain a little bit?

Thanks.

Compustar makes hard wired car alarms and remote start combos. If someone trys to break into my 4Runner the alarm not only goes off as a deterrent (scaring them away) the key fob notifies me up to 3mi away and the phone app also can notify me from anywhere. I can then decide if i want to go out and shoot the thief or just call the cops. I can also track in real time where my 4Runner is and i can even activate Geofencing.

DEI makes hard wired Python and a few other alarm remote starts. Similar to Compustar.

actually if you also add the drone service, itll be better.

i prepaid for 5 years premium and also use the t12 remote.
