GPS Tracker

[flick2614]

My neighborhood has been hit with a rash of Jeep thefts lately, all modified over stock. So who has a decent GPS tracker? Looking for something that gives an alert if the Jeep moves and can show location.

How are they getting stolen? If its key jacking a Tazer no limits that can lock down the key.

If we knew that answer this would be a lot easier.

Apple Air Tags??

I use a taser, GPS tracker, three air tags with two fairly easy to find. The other is deep in the body. I also had a lock on my ODM port to slow down a potential theft. And if I really don’t trust the area, I add the Club. I also have two different wheel locks on my rims, one is the AdvancedWheelLocks (the best wheel locks, hands down). Also faraday box at the house and bags when I am in public walking around like at a sports event.

I also drive a lot with the top and doors off when possible.

I use an Optimus GV 75. They run about $55, plus $135 a year for monitoring. You can set alerts for low/no battery, and movement. Movement has good sensitivity. Every once in a while it sends a false alert, because GPS error thinks it’s moved. I have two of these, overall they’re great.

What part of Arizona are you in?

I’ll check it out. I’m in the east valley of Phoenix.

Go cheap, air tag and/or a competitor like tile, etc. Have a couple redundancies. I'm always a fan of a nice kill switch hidden away. You'll never stop the tow truck though. Get a good insurance policy that covers extras/mods and don't sweat it too much

I use apple air tags, can put a keyed switch on the brake pedal switch too.

When away from home I keep my key inside a faraday pouch to prevent the key emulation brand of theft.

I use a Salind GPS. I have both hard wired and magnetic versions on different vehicles. Hardwired is nice because it provides battery condition and is more sensitive to vibration. The actual units are cheap and the monitoring isn’t that expensive.

Apple has neutered the functionality of air tags to make them worthless for anything near real time monitoring. I still have a couple attached to make a thief think they are smart when they find the obvious one.

My overall security is based on a 1911.

If you are looking for a cheap and easy Faraday cage for storing your keys at home, I use an empty solid metal cookie tin. If you get the Royal Dansk ones, they are delicious too and are from Denmark. I figure if you are going to buy something to protect your keys, might as well get some snacks as a bonus.

Same here on the 1911. When I'm home it's something with a little more boom. But it's useless if I sleep through the whole thing.
