I have a used car lot and one of the lendors we use will supply the box and pay us $250 to install on vehicles they finance. It does not have codes but has an ignition interupter and GPS tracking system so the vehicle can go be picked up. I've never put one in but the ones they use are mounted behind the dash and virtually impossible for the average person(and a few mechanics) to even locate them.

Bugman,
I know how the GPS tracking works, but if that box has no codes and does interrupt the ignition, how do they restore the car to service if it stops it from starting? Also since the one I originally posted about seems to have to be reset every month when the payment is made, how does this one work in that regard? Just curious as I am seeing more and more of these type things being advertised and all seem to work in a different manner. Ron :confused: |
This one is activated by the lending institution. There is a device that plugs into the code reader that resets it. The repo guy will have this when he goes to pick the car up. It has the GPS also so there is no hiding the car in the bushes out back or at a friends house. There is no monthly code needed if you miss your payments you're shut down. You could really have fun messing with people if you wanted to..."Okay Bill, they're 2 months behind on payments, 60 miles from home doing 70 on I95. Shut em down now"....

From a safety/liability point of view, both the driver and other vehicles, seems the ignition interrupt would only be used when the vehicle is not moving ?
Can't imagine intentionally disabling the ignition while possibly passing on a 2 lane road, crossing traffic for a left turn, entering the highway from an on-ramp, etc |
