There is one similar to that with all the same features, but no activation or monthly fees! I'm looking at a line up of 3 different trackers and a GSM car alarm, which contacts a person's cellphone when the alarm is tripped. Alarm and GPS tracker would make a formidible security system.

Alright, guys just a ballpark figure. Initially prices will be around 380.00-600.00 per unit. They each come with individualized software for personal tracking on computer. These are not the same devices found on Ebay, I've already checked

. You don't have to pay activation or monthly fees. We are dealing manufacturer direct. Again, I'm going to need time to test these out myself and I'll let you all know.

So if you approve, will you be a distributor or will we be able to go directly to the manufacturer. I would like to test a unit out here on the west coast.

I'll become a distributor if there is a good demand. I've contacted the manufacturer and should be getting a sample in the next week. ^^I could use a quick release from you, Jung. I prolly buy one in the near future.^^

i would be interested in it if you coudl keep it decently inexpensive

ALSO, i would pay upto 350-400 bucks for a system of 4 sensors that you could imbed into the barrel of each wheel to keep them from disapearing forever

extra-made garage · 01-16-2007, 06:43 PM

^^^Smart thinking, But wouldn't they be flying all around inside the wheel?^^^

**ThatGuy** · 01-16-2007, 06:49 PM

They could be mounted to the wheel much like the modern air pressure monitoring systems.

Attached to the bottom of the valve stem. Cadillac and Subura use this set-up for sure. I'm sure some others do as well.

extra-made garage · 01-16-2007, 06:53 PM

^^^I'll see if the manufacturer can make or get these.^^^

RYAN_S-14 · 01-16-2007, 07:39 PM

I installed one of these on a car at work.

The owner has us hide all the stuff in His 16 year old daughters car so he could track here.

Kind of kreepey but i got a 20$ tip so I was happy.

We checked it out on the internet after we installed it and it worked really good, I did not get the name of the unit.

i'm interested also.

If the TPMS systems could be integrated with GPS tracking, you'd have one great product for reals!

byhi · 01-18-2007, 12:13 AM

only problem is, if its not inbedded into the wheel ,they can be taken off and chucked,.... so maybe like a sensor on a contoured piece of aluminum that can be welded onto the barrel... i knwo it sounds like a lot of work & expensive but i would pay 3-450 for that "piece of mind"

all the money would be in the sensors.....

then have a travelling mobile installing service.... i donno, im a dreamer when it comes to business

oh oh oh

also, if you could create a super small sensor, you could but it in a regular old valvestem itself to keep it incognito so the crook would not even know it had this sensor in it, so he wouldnt think twice of pitching the stems

EDIT - or wheel weights with sensors in them ,totally inconspicuous

....and to whoever just neg repped me, i want to know why, you fagboy pussy

Your dream isn't as far as it may seem. It just may take time, money, and technology to catch up with it. I'm in talks with the manufacturer. They're asking for full specs on the sensor.

byhi · 01-18-2007, 05:12 PM

i have always been a visionary, haha

lets get it done!

extra-made garage · 01-25-2007, 06:20 PM

http://www.gopass.com.tw/Product/GPS911_GPS_tracker.htm

looks like it uses the GSM cell phone network to send SMS messages. So we would need a SIM card and a plan. Also would need GSM coverage to send reports.

This looks better for cars IMHO.

jrmiller84 · 01-26-2007, 08:38 AM

For all of you DIY guys, you should check out mp3car.com. They do this kind of stuff as well. I've been planning to design something similar but only for my own use, not consumer sale (unless it turns up awesome). I'm a lurker on there as I haven't installed mine yet, but they are doing some amazing things. Just a thought, some of you may be active members there.

Good find, this looks more up my alley if I don't design it myself. Looks like you still need some type of service to use it though as it needs a SIM card.

***S14DB*** · 01-26-2007, 09:03 AM

I don't know of a way where you don't pay a provider.

jrmiller84 · 01-26-2007, 09:08 AM

^^ Neither do I, there has to be some data coverage somewhere. I'll be using my EVDO through Verizon when I get my setup in my car.

extra-made garage · 01-26-2007, 01:23 PM

Just received the product Gps911 and a personal tracker today, and no fees or service plan needed. Runs on GPS as well as Gsm networks. It comes with software to track for yourself. Darn amazing! Yeah this def. for you DIyers!

"This looks better for cars IMHO.
http://www.gopass.com.tw/Product/AVL900_GPS_tracker.htm"

The avl900 has less features and a little more expensive, but if you all want this one, I can get these. But not from Gopass.com. Dealing directly with the manufacturer.

***S14DB*** · 01-26-2007, 07:10 PM

I don't understand how it relays it's data for free. I understand that the software is free. But the unit has to connect to the world somehow and that costs money.

avl900 seems easier to hide in a car security setup.

jrmiller84 · 01-26-2007, 08:48 PM

<--- is curious as well. I would like to be proved wrong on this.

GPS is a one way protocal, there is no communication with the satellites. Receivers calculate the location based off of the time it takes the signal to reach itself from multiple satellites and based off of that data can get an accurate location. Therefore it's not relaying the data to you based off of GPS.

And GSM, unless they have some deal with a carrier then you should be paying for it.

Did the unit come with a SIM card to use? If so then it's possible they do have some type of working deal with a carrier. And if they do, does that mean you could use that SIM to get free phone calls by putting it into another phone? With that in mind, something doesn't add up.

Either you have to pay for it or something has been misconstrued.

extra-made garage · 01-27-2007, 04:36 PM

Ok, I was getting the unit set up last night, and indeed it needs a sim card and phone plan for it to work. It must be activated and set up for gsm/gprs communication. Yes! I'm kicking myself right now

I had misread information about no fees and misinterpreted what s14db was asking. So, I used my own cellphone sim card and it relays info fine. I'm trying to get the IP address with tracking software linked up to the unit, so I can get coordinates.
More info soon as I troubleshoot this.

jrmiller84 · 01-27-2007, 06:31 PM

I wonder if any prepaid phones use some type of SIM card, that may be the most convienient system. Any time you need to track the car, charge up the minutes and you're in business. I have a feeling they dont use SIM's though, that'd be too easy.
