Twas me, did some research on engine cut-off devices and remote on cars, with the use of SMS. Wala akong makita sa Internet.

I raised a few questions during the demo, I have to admit that I was a little bit impressed with the current technology, using SMS for this function. It uses your cellphone, as a supplement to your keyless entry, to open and close your car. Nothing much, on this side, but here's the thing I was impressed, you can actually cut off your engine using a text message. I think this is the most important feature for most of us. Also, it can send info to a designated master phone, if your car was opened or closed, if somebody turned your engine on. Using the tracker available on your GSM network, you can also triangulate your cars' position if ever it was stolen. They said that since GSM cell sites in Manila are denser compared to the provinces, you can triangulate with fair amount of accuracy. You can actually use any phone, even if it is not on the same network, to open or close, or even disable the engine. To enable the engine, you have to send another message to the gadget.

I was concerned about security, (e.g. somebody enabling or disabling your car, but you must know the password to enable this on your car. Any other text message sent to that SIM will be useless, unless it follows a specific pattern with the password.

Where do we install it inside your car, I'm still trying to find a very inaccessible portion of my vehicle.

Another question is whether you can disable it by taking off the battery. Cesar did mentioned that the gadget has a memory power of 4 hours, and I don't think carnappers or carjackers will remove the battery and tow the vehicle just to make a getaway.

Another situation i asked was what if your car was carjacked and they went to an area with no signal. Well, since SMS signals have a lifespan of 24 hours unless it has been received by the intended receipient, once the vehicle comes to an area with signal from your network, it will activate the sent command.

Well, for me, I'm getting one. It's not that I want to use it, but, I'm preparing.... just in case.... Sure beats buying a new handgun, fighting it out with would be carjackers with military training. Cesar could probably answer more. SO if you have inquries, ask him. hehehe
