Real-time GPS GSM GPRS Tracker. It can be used for tracking vehicles, boats and any other movable targets. All you need to do is send a simple SMS with your password to the unit, and it will send its current location/coordinates to your mobile phone including its speed if it's on the move, you can then enter the GPS coordinates on online maps such as Google Maps, Google Earth, etc. to find out where it exactly is. In areas where there is no GPS signal, it will send you the location of the nearest GSM Network Switch Center Code and GSM Towers Code which you can also use to find its location. The unit can use any GSM sim card worldwide including prepaid sim cards (I recommend the Vodafone 365-day prepaid sim card since it will only cost you $20 and it's valid for the whole year), and all you have to pay is the cost of sending the SMS, no subscription needed, you are in complete control of it.

Features:

- Built in GSM module (900MHz/1800MHz/1900MHz) and GPS Receiver

- Three mobile phone numbers can be set up as alert targets

- Customisable password protection

- Unique feature, power off alarming alert (eg. if the main power is cut off). The in-built rechargeable battery will take over and the unit will alert you if the main power source is cut off.

- Geofence feature sends alert if the tracker moves outside a pre-defined area

- Enhanced sensitivity for indoor and outdoor reporting. It does not need a direct view of the sky, therefore it can be placed in various hidden areas in your car.

- Can be programmed or re-programmed from your mobile phone with SMS

- Car 12-Volt DC hardwire connector included with a back-up battery built-in.

- Very easy to install. Only two wires to connect, power and earth. You can do it yourself in 5 minutes.

- It also supports GPRS uploading Static IP address and port setup via SMS command that can be activated if you need this advanced feature. Monitoring center SMS Gateway Setup is also available, but you do not have to use these extra bonus features if you don't want to.

- Working voltage is 9-14V DC plus an in-built back-up battery

- The size is 123mm x 116mm x 38mm (very compact) and the total weight is 0.8kg

The unit also comes brand new in a box with GPS and GSM antennas, as well as the instruction manual. Great bargain! Similar units on the market sell for over $750.

Local pick-up is welcome.

Price $295

obviously you'd hide the antenna, and not to mention the gsm network as well. :)

Hes in hurstville..

I think i'll buy one, Im assuming he has multipul ones?

Am i wrong in thinking that the antenna has double sided tape to stick to the windscreen?

I am very interested in this product, as it will save me having to replace my alarm.

How much to deliver to Melbourne?

Are you sure about the gps not needing clear view of the sky? I've never come across any gps antenna that can do that and I work for a positioning company dealing with gps daily.

Been keen to find out how and also would be keen on one of the units if they can do it.

Thanks.

I'm 100% positive. I have got one in my car and it's definitely away from any direct view of the sky and it works perfectly. I even tried using it in my room with the window shutters closed and placed under a pillow, and it still worked! It also works when I have my car in my full brick garage in addition to the fact that the unit is already hidden inside the car.

Hi gtr_z,

Does this have a '+' or '-' ve trigger input to connect to an existing alarm,

so when the alarm is triggered this can signal the gps/gsm unit to send the

co-ordinates to your phone?

In turn you will know the alarm has been triggered and to check your car.

I'm not sure mate. I like this unit because of its simplicity with only 2 wires to connect, power and earth, took only 5 minutes. And I can easily move it from one car to another.

I'm pretty sure you can use the main power cut alert function for the trigger, so if you have an aftermarket alarm system just connect a relay between the unit's power cable and the siren, that way when the siren is set off it will temporarily cut its main power and triggers its automatic alert. The unit will send the alert to your mobile phone if the main power is cut off for longer than +/- 3 seconds, so you will not get false alerts from locking/unlocking your car. I'm gonna install the relay on my own car soon.

So what happens if they simply cut the antenna cord?

Where are you located?

lol true, but how many theifs would think about cutting the gps wire.

If you install the sender under the parcel shelf and the gps antenna resting next to one of the speakers i doubt they would notice esp when they hacking away at the alarm system in the front of the car :yes:

Any chance of a group buy price?

:D You can hide the GPS antenna too and it will still work. So they won't even know if it's there, unless if you want to make it visible as a deterrent. I hide mine under and inside so much stuff in my car.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
