Steal my car and see what happens to you. The justice system is a joke, The guys probably sitting back at home right now thinking of what next to steal. Oh and saying how I feel about this subject compared to actually doing it are two totally different things.

I'm curious because I know nothing of the subject. How does one block/jam an unknown/unidentified cell connection!

you can purchase GPS and GSM detectors, so you can find out if the car has such a device, and probably where the device is too. However having said that, 99% of car thieves will not have such equipment and would have to work on a quick turnaround to get the vehicle stripped and disposed of before the theft has even been noticed.
With the unit jsbike used, it can be programmed to txt you instantly if the vehicle moves from its current spot. So I guess you could enable to alert just after you've parked it up for the night, and providing you don't sleep through a text message you would be notified fairly instantly.

Correct, it can text me as soon as ignition is turned on or the door is opened , or the car moves IF I text it to do so. The unit will ALWAYS text me if the car battery is cut weather the unit is armed or not. Generally i dont arm it as it costs 20c to text the unit to arm it, and 20c when the GPS text back to say it has armed the car etc. There is another unit available exactly the same as mine but with a remote to arm and disarm, its only about $105us on ebay, TK103B model. I much prefer to have my car stolen and find out who did it than get woken up at 3am by an alarm and then run out to find my window broken and them scared away.

I don't think its a good idea to encourage discussion of this topic on here.

that's the GPS tracker itself, he's after the device to detect if GPS/GSM is being transmitted from any particular vehicle.
Dude, I know this sort of thing is only a google click away but really not cool to encourage it.

Interesting. I don't actually want one. Just another attempt to catch up with the 21st century, I suppose.

Am not encouraging it - as you said it's only a google search away. Chances of any car thief having enough brain cells to make their way here are fairly minimal. Am merely highlighting the fact that these GPS trackers can be bypassed - but perhaps still more valuable to have than a regular car alarm.

As phil points out, there are counter measures to EVERYTHING. The thing that fixes that, is insurance.

The point is you are highlighting how easy and cheap it is to get something to bypass it.

So, install a gps-blocker detector, that disables the car or sounds a really loud alarm.

Maybe better to just hook an anti-personnel mine in the roof lining, actuated by unauthorised activity! That'd stop the problem, dead!
then the thieves will prolly get a gps blocking detector immobilizer

Is there any way you can get music put onto that video! The way those cops straddled the fence in unison was gold and wouldn't look out of place in a Royal NZ ballet performance.

So is there a history maintained of the GPS tracker's location, ie can you see where it was at a certain date/time. Also, does the manufacturer maintain the www site! And third, does it have an antenna!
