Vehicle Tracking System (Question & Answers)

[GamezBond]

@shari99
Well, i disagree. IMHO, they are not "completely" useless. for example:
1. they are better than normal alarms.
2. they are better than non-GSM alarms.
3. They are better than non-GPS alarms.
4. They are cheaper than spending 50000Rs on a tracking system from a company as they are a cheaper alternative.
5. They definitely have more advantages than not having an alarm at all!!!!

Yes I agree that the car can still be stolen IF the thief is using jammers, but it doesnt mean they are "completely useless", you only need to think about it logically with deep thought, and you will see that having something very good, which is not the best and definitely not perfect, is not "completely useless" and is still far better than not having anything.

Happy Ramadhan to all BTW.

I think GSM+GPS security alarams are better to install in the vehicle for security purpose rather than costly trackers.GSM alarams can prevent the car from theft because this alaram immediately inform the car owner about any illegale practice with the car while the tacking device will inform the company and the company will then inform the owner about the theft. Tracking company will track the car after theft while the GSM car alaram will inform the owner at the time of theft. If the owner will be near to vehicle (home,office,in the market) then he will rush to the parking to find the vehicle. If in any case the thief successed to stole the car then owner have the option to remotely power off the engine of the car by his mobile phone.
GSM signal jammers can stop both systems (GSM Alarams & Trackers) to secure the car.
So the theft chance while using the GSM Jammer is equal in both cases.
Therefore I suggest to buy GSM+GPS alaram for the security of the vehicle because of one time low cost and direct control of the owner instead of involving a company. Tracking device is effective for the fleet management.

Okeee…!!!! lemme disclose to all of you what you need to know before signing up with a local Pakistani vehicle tracking company…

[highlight]

1.
spanTimes New Roman";"

[/highlight][highlight]

The availability of company branch offices in major cities…

[/highlight]

You never know you’re on a family or friends tour from Lahore to ISD or DI Khan & God forbidden your vehicles been stolen/snatched or immobilized by tracker & all you have in hand is there lousy 111-XXX-XXX number to Yale on.

[highlight]

2.
spanTimes New Roman";"

[/highlight][highlight]

Availability &
Response time
of company’s recovery team / technical mobile team…

[/highlight]

I still remember the days when I used to be on help line of our company & telling people… “Don’t worry... Don’t worry we have already sent a team… they’ll be with you shortly!” & the team barely could make it either the next morning or late night as they had to travel all the way from LAHORE…

[highlight]

3.
spanTimes New Roman";"

[/highlight][highlight]

If the tracking device they’ll install be NEW or “Just Like New”

[/highlight]

You know something… Pakistanis ALL are geniuses… no matter how sensitive could be the issue is… our brains just simply fit in

So, you need to make sure the device that technician looking guy has installed is new; supported by new wiring & quality strong joints. Although some companies don’t allow the owner to be there when device is being installed…

(not necessarily because they are must to install a used device but to hide it from owner as precautionary measures)

you have to make sure it is… what you have paid for.

What technology, tracking system would be using to provide vehicle real time location

[/highlight]

If you’re a person like me… who knows computer as “a DELL Machine, that starts working after pushing that Oval Thumb Sized Button” Well!!! That habit won’t help here… wake up!!!

I won’t use jargons… I’ll put things simple… companies are using GPS in combination with GPRS to track the vehicle. Through GPS, tracker calculates the coordinates (stuff that tells where your driver is chilling with his mates) & through GPRS (mobile internet for you) sends the data to tracking company server. That calculates & shows the vehicle location on computer screen. Some low budget companies also use SMS instead of GPRS. Some companies program there systems for both… depending on tracking system’s supporting level.

Conclusion: Although GPRS is better than SMS… but, as long as vehicle’s movement is in city area(s) or on well known highways. In villages or less developed areas… you know yourself people don’t use mobile internet there… so NO GPRS Coverage no Vehicle Location THERE... however SMS system works better in undeveloped/under development zones.

How to check if Tracking System is effectively working & vehicle is being monitored (for User End)

[/highlight]

[highlight]

[/highlight]

1.
spanTimes New Roman";"

Manually disconnect vehicle’ battery wiring terminals & wait if Tracking Company responds in real time not more than 5minutes (ideal) or max 7-10 minutes

2.
spanTimes New Roman";"

Once in a while check if the tracking system installed is still capable of immobilizing the vehicle under shortest notice by calling company’s helpline at least once/twice a month

3.
spanTimes New Roman";"

Ask for your vehicle’s RUNTIME location & movement history if by chance you’re in an undeveloped area, a village, or on fogy location

4.
spanTimes New Roman";"

Don’t forget to make all the above checks if you just brought your vehicle back home from workshop after a good deal of engine or vehicle electric system repairs…

I think I have tried to explain all… but if still there’s something left… lemme know!

What an informative thread this has been, congrats to all those guys who have contributed in it. (Y)(Y).

Okay i have two simple questions:

Is it possible to steal an immobilizer enabled car?

Can i buy an after-market immobilizer for a car that does not have a built-in/factory fitted immobilizer in Pakistan?

Thanks!!!!

Answers:
Can i buy an after-market immobilizer for a car that does not have a built-in/factory fitted immobilizer in Pakistan?
]Yes you may buy aftermarket immobilizer & can get it installed in your vehicle... but be watchful for your vehicle warranty may get VOID… due to alternation done in Vehicle Wiring by Tracking Company’s Technicians. (better consult your car dealer before making the move)

Is it possible to steal an immobilizer enabled car?
]In most cases Yes!!!... Sorry to disappoint but you have asked for truth.. & truth it is!!!
As (after market) Immobilizers simply affect the supply of CURRENT to Engine / Fuel Motor.. in their wiring is sometime visible to professionals… so whenever an opportunist considers an attempt on the vehicle he is certain about a "ReMote Eye Watching" so after entering into the vehicle a a close analysis usually reveals the ADD ON Wiring going through under the hood... and then he usually knows which WIRE(s) to Cut first.. to make after market immobilizer / tracking unit incapable.
Companies don't accept this fact ... but even you, yourself guess from the WEARED sort of wiring done by their technicians that some add on is present in vehicle... !!!
