Eddie 1979 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I figured some folks might be interested in this Indiegogo project that is working on creating credit card sized device trackers. $50 bucks for three years, the main downside is there needs to be cell towers in the area for it to function. I'm going to pick up the 5 pack and stick them in my cars, if I had a kid I would equip them with one these too! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/itraq-the-cellular-tracking-device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryant67 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 In theory it looks like a nice idea, but the accuracy doesn't cut it. 100 feet or so is way too much. If some thief steals your Z, you want to be 100% sure you have tracked it to the right address - merely being in the right block isn't enough, since it being in 1 of 20 houses isn't going to help you, it will just get you in trouble with the authorities.I've seen DIY GPS trackers using cheap old phones with GPS capability, call as you go plans, and being hardwired into the battery in the car. Not as cheap, but presumably accurate enough to lead you to your cars exact location.As these cars become more valuable, and as such more desirable to undesirables, this is something probably worth investing in. We've all seen those pics of stripped Z's - I know if someone stole mine, I would very much want to be sure they got what was coming to them...

Eddie 1979 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Car Thieves? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrzMGdYWZc Now that would be a kickstarter project worth funding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
