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

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.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
