So 15K is chicken feed.

    There must be some other compelling reasons why this service is not heavily advertised. In fact, this could even deter carjacking if they know that their stolen vehicle can be traced within minutes.


    this is good BUT I think the reason why some carjackers drop you somewhere in the province is bec. they have anticipated na mayroon ka nga ganito device and they're counting on the possibility na matagal ka pa makakabalik sa bahay mo or to call somebody, the more time for them to getaway or even scan the vehicle for transmit/receive frequencies.

    kung instantly agaw sa'yo, you cant really text your car to shut down coz malamang kinuha din ng carjacker yun cellphone mo.

    now if for instance, nakakuha ka ng cellphone in 10 minutes, there is the predicament na baka ma-i-off mo yun engine pero nasa middle naman ng highway yun tsikot mo. wasak yun kung may kasunod na truck or bus. kunsabagay, ok lang coz sigurado sapul pati carjackers.

    the best way siguro eh panic button sa dashboard, click it, after 30 minutes shutdown engine. but still there is the problem na baka sa highway timing mamatay makina.

    I read in one of the webpage of this tracking site that they do provide a panic button that will start sending S.O.S. to their company agents as soon as you press it. So that means when a vehicle blocks your path, you can simply push the panic button in 2 seconds as long as you keep it within your reach.

    The service coverage is also nationwide so it doesn't matter where they drop you off.

    Also, I read from newspapers that nearly all carjackings that happened lately in QC, the owners were dropped off within Metro Manila also. Meaning, the carjackers are not yet familiar with this remote tracking thing.
