Hi everyone,

I'm looking at purchasing a GPS tracked alarm system for my car, at this stage I think I'm settled on the Quiktrak system as been very secure.

I know Chris Rogers provides a lot of advice on the forums but he doesn't work in Melbourne.

Chris if your online whats your recommended installers in Victoria? I live in the South Eastern suburbs so if you know a good installer close to here that would be great :kiss:

Can anyone recommend a good install place and any ideas how much it will cost? I'm looking at the "CarWatch" system, I might need some optional extras depending on what it comes with and how much it costs.

Also, when I get something like there "CarWatch" system installed do you have to subscribe to their monthly monitoring?

I do believe the system can be set to call the owners mobile if something went wrong which would be ok with me :P

Regards,

Gareth

best to ring the melbourne QT office if you havent already. I have a fellow I use in MLB but he doesn't do QT.

QT does have a $1/day monitoring fee and they will tell you if someone sneezes on the car IF you want them to. the system is monitored in real time and on average from the time the car is triggered to the pohne call is 10-15 seconds. the fee is not negotiable. you pay it , they watch your car for you- you dont - then the QT unit becomes an alarm only.

I use them on the council ferries here in brissy and they will get me out of bed every once is a while (my name is on the call list.) but I rarely have a problem with them.

I'll try giving there office a call next for the details, I'm not sure if I want to pay an extra $365 a year in fees to have my car monitored.

Do you recommend any other GPS tracked alarm systems?

Does anyone else use another GPS tracking system that they'd recommend?

I know there's CarWatch and EziTrack.

car watch is QT. for piece of mind its the best option. they have the power and control of the police IF the car gets taken to shut it down. few others can.

I have a version of the system in my personal vehicle (mine is a custom version to suit my application) and I can sleep easy becuase of it. last van I had contained a similar setup.

Oops, think I was referring to http://www.carminder.com.au/index.htm , not CarWatch.

Will chat to QuikTrak, I'll do it if I can get a discount off my insurance (and I can't see why not, it would help prevent theft :)).

Regards,

Gareth
