ok, here's how LoJack works:
LoJack System OverView
What is LoJack?
LoJack is the only stolen vehicle recovery system used by the police. The LoJack unit consists of a small, silent transmitter, randomly hidden in your vehicle. If you discover that your vehicle has been stolen, a report to the police will automatically activate the LoJack. Your vehicle can then be tracked and recovered by the police. Nationally, LoJack has over a 90% recovery rate.
How does LoJack work?
After you report your stolen vehicle to the police, a signal from a radio tower activates the LoJack in your vehicle. The LoJack unit randomly hidden in your vehicle broadcasts a silent, coded signal to police vehicles equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers (PTCs). The LoJack Police Tracking Computer receives the LoJack signal, identifies your vehicle and leads police directly to the stolen vehicle.
That's the verbiage....
the real deal is that,
when you report your car stolen, and the police officer enters the vin into the computer, it activates a signal inside the car.
radio frequency is used instead of gps for several reasons.
gps needs to be tri-angulated, radio doesn't.
think of it like this--
you're driving in the middle of no where....
you will loose cell phone service before you can't get any radio stations.
cells use gps.
radio uses radio waves.
another example... go inside a big metal box/container.
i bet your cell looses service, but i bet you could still pick up a radio station.
gps is more ACCURATE as far as pinpointing..
but radio is more reliable i guess would be the term.
DOES LOJACK USE GPS TECHNOLOGY?
LoJack utilizes RF (radio frequency) technology, which is more reliable for stolen vehicle recovery. GPS products require a direct line of sight from the antenna to at least 4 satellites in order for the product to work, which can limit its effectiveness if the vehicle is in a location that doesn't have a clear line of sight to 4 satellites. RF technology is more reliable for stolen vehicle recovery because it does not need a clear line of sight in order to track the vehicle
LoJack claims a 90% recovery rate within 24 hours.
however
it is NOT availble in all areas.... meaning not only can you not buy it, but they can't track it there either.
if the theif is in the know, he will haul ass to that spot and dump the car for 24 hours or so...
and no for a sales pitch... lol
