I've installed a bunch of these things. I always hard wire them into the car... Using the OBD2 port is an easier install, but as you point out it is easy to find and remove. Buy here - pay here places might use these, but the reason that we did is because we had a finance company that required them in order to finance people with crappy credit or a history of repo's.

Thank you. My ex works for a certain car company. My car would suddenly not start, he would show up at random times. Or just be sitting near my location. He had a wireless GPS disabler (k ill switch) on my car. Before that, mini cams, before that mics, before that just plain gps. Even after all of that not finding what he wanted to find. He had to make his self the hero in some way. By preventing my car from starting. I can disconnect my data. But I couldn't get my bluetooth to turn off. I assume Gps was preventing it. Being stalked suc ks, technology has made it so much more easier and worse. This video helped me locate and know what to look for.

I’m a diagnostic guy and find a lot of these GPS devices that have been left on cars and cause parasitic draws. That one you had in the floorboard is one of the common ones I find that fails and causes a draw. A couple of months ago I had one that had two of those dealer type GPS trackers. Almost every single one I find is a hack job install.

@anned86342 жыл бұрын
parasitic draws caused by dealer trackers are common after 3 to 5 years. this is because the tracker has a battery in it like a cell phone. This allows the tracker to work without the car turned on. after a few years the battery in the dealer tracker dies and will not charge. this causes the gps unit to draw power from the car battery and will run down with the car off, I.e., a parasitic draw. and a dead battery after a couple of days.

Dealership locked us in the show room after taking our keys to check our trade in. First they said we could not afford a full size pickup and tried like hell to sell us a mini-truck. They didn't know that we already had financing but they INSISTED that we must use their financing plan on the truck we did not want. We already had a truck lined up we were just comparing prices. Things took a change when I pulled a framing hammer out and said, "C'mon Mary they're trying to fuck us here". I almost had to break glass to get them to allow us to leave in our old pickup truck.

My girl had repo guys looking for her car. So I took her tracker out and would connect it to a extra car battery I had inside my garage. Made them think I was just disconnecting the car battery cables. So she would leave for work and I turned on her gps and sure as shit you would see a tow truck come creeping by the house. 3 tow companies later, had a repo Man who had the respect to come knock on the door he was professional and very respectful to me and my girlfriend, and he was treated with the same respect back from myself and handed over the keys. I moved everything out of his way to let him have the car. He in return was nice enough to hand me back the keys to unlock the car and helped me unload my girlfriend belongings from the car. Then the thing I straight up had mad respect for the that repo Man was he said I'm not going to hookup the car in front of the house I will go a few blocks down so the neighbors don't see anymore then they already have. That is mutual respect and i understand that he was doing his job and he understood that some times things come up in person life that changes how they can pay their payments.

@s k and @Mike Reis: repossession is a normal, acceptable process. People DO fall on unfortunate circumstances that warrants them needing to back out of an agreement. In the contract there was always TWO legitimate options: Pay and keep, don't pay and have it repossessed. There's no extra shame in choosing option 2 when its the best or only option. For most people who have loans from snap on for 10,000 dollar toolboxes (stupidly) they'd all be WISE to allow those to go straight to repossession and stem the tide of that money pit they dug rather than pay their way out. Sometimes the stupid decision isn't the allowing repossession, it was the purchasing on credit in the first place.

I can also tell you that its not being tracked the finance company is not going to continue to pay for that device when they do not need to. How do i know?

As anyone who is an automobile owner who drives an auto which has a GPS tracker, I would ask the dealer (if brought from an dealership) that I will not purchase a car that has a tracker. Make sure they sign an attest statement, in writing, that they are selling the car with no electronic GPS in it. If they sign the statement, and there is one, take it back and show them what they signed, and to remove such device. If they refuse to do so, sue then for breach of contract and merchantability of fitness, as the automobile GPS represents a security risk to you. If YOU want to be tracked (for safety reasons), you should be the one to install the GPS rather than the decision being made for you......else threaten to not buy their auto. Safer to buy older autos that have no electronics. Safer, and more reliable... .

The IMEI: means that it is using cellular as it's means to connect to a network and relay it's information the FCC ID: MEANS NOTHING it is simply the number issued to the manufacturer that indicates that the device is compliant with US radio frequency laws. NONE of those numbers will tell you anything about the device and certainly not who installed it or why. If you find one of these in your car and your car has been paid off AND you have the title disconnect it and be done with it. If your car is financed leaved it alone... somewhere in the FINE print of your sales contract is information where they told you that they "may" track the vehicle, removing the device is theft and could at the very least cause your vehicle to be repossessed.

I went to dealer shop and found gps tracker was installed... and removed... no draining anymore for car battery... please check first after market installed products if you have car battery draining issue.

That is not LoJack - maybe it is a very very very old LoJack. I was a LoJack installer in 2013. What you have is not recognizable by me. The LoJack I installed, at most needed constant power and the battery was built in with its own antenna. No chance you would find it that easily. We installed LoJack in such a way that you could disassemble just about everything and not find it. We were also installing versions that needed only GROUND. 7 year battery. LoJack was making changes to make ALL LoJacks battery powered. Also, you cannot scan for LoJack, it is activated by the owner when they call in to report car stolen.

@@ronnie3044 You have a very distorted understanding of property ownership. If it was the dealer's car, their name would be on the title and registration. The dealer has a lien on the title. That means you can't sell it because they have an interest in it. In some states, they hold the title, but it is still in your name. The lending contract you signed is what gives them the right to repossess the car and sell it at auction to recover their money if you violate the terms of the agreement. If you bought it, the car is yours. You're just restricted in selling it until you pay off the loan. They put the trackers in to make it easier to repossess.

@@ronnie3044 You ARE the legal owner of the car. Your name is on the title. If there are taxes due, you have to pay them, not the bank. If you want to paint it pink, no one will come after you. If it breaks down, you have to pay to fix it. It is YOURS. If you want to drive it with no oil in it and destroy it, no one will stop you. If you want to trade the rims for some new ones, you can. You simply are not allowed to sell the vehicle until the bank's lien is settled. That does not make the car the bank's. The only reason they can come take it from you is because you agreed to those terms in the loan agreement. It is a contract. You agreed to it. If you don't pay the payments, and you dodge the repo man, the cops aren't going to pull you over for driving a stolen car. Because it is YOUR car. As a comparison, try any of those things with a rental car and see what happens. A rental is NOT YOUR car. It is owned by someone else.

When you modify the wiring harness for auto or truck you assume civil and criminal liability. Manufacturers of autos or trucks have a financial exposure to the design and manufacture of wiring harnesses. Custom wiring harness can be designed, manufactured and tested for a specific application. Under no circumstances should the original wiring harness ever be modified. The way the example here was installed is the best way to add functionality. Car dealerships often install alarm systems to protect the inventory. The customer can purchase the system or the dealer removes the custom chip.

Are dealerships allowed to add GPS tracking as long as you're making payments on a vehicle? My next door neighbor said he hears a faint beep every now and then and also gets calls to come to the dealer for a free oil change which seems sketchy.We think its a possible low battery on the GPS unit but then again neither of us are experts on this type of thing. I'm pretty sure he is still making payments but would there be any recourse if we located the GPS and tossed it in the river?

Funny story time. So I bought a Pioneer avic w8600 nex radio. It was Pioneer's newest flagship radio. This radio can turn off check engine lights, read codes, and a thousand other things. Little did I know it had to be plugged into the OBD2 port. Anyway I had a stereo shop install the radio and months and months go by. I see a video on YT about how some GPS trackers plug into the OBD2 port so I waddle my fat ass out to my car and I see this wire plugged into my port and I instantly start flipping the fuck out and cussing up a storm. Man you'd think the world was ending with how dramatic I was acting. So I start to rip my dash apart following this wire. Shit went to the back of the radio. Damn sure glad I did not call up the stereo shop and cuss him out because I felt so retarded like idiot how else do you think the radio can read codes lmao!!! I honestly thought somebody was tracking my car. My dumb ass moment LOL.
