Can you tell us more about this feature? Can it do something more than simply sms the gps co-ordinates? This hints at a feature like: can establish a gprs connection to an IP address you specify (running who knows what protocol/software) and upload *live* data. If that's the case, I'm in...

Im interested, if this question can be answered re GPRS connection to a static IP.

You might need to ask the distributor for the installation and user manuals, or get someone to scan them in and post them up.

Yes still on....

With regard to the GPRS connection to an IP address, this advanced function is probably more relevant for companies with a fleet of vehicles to track at the same time. So instead of using the low-cost SMS commands via GSM, the unit will constantly send data to your computer (with tracking software & modem) via GPRS which is pretty costly. This is the sort of function used by transport & logistics companies to track their fleet and they have a dedicated monitoring centre for it. That's why I think the unit's main sms command function is good enough for private uses since it won't cost you much at all (only sms's).

In google earth, easiest way seems to be to add a "placemark", ctrl-shift-P or click "Add" menu, and select "Placemark"

Among many others, Google Maps are also mostly free and easy to use.

Use this link:

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Enter the coordinates that you've received in the sms, and that's it. For EXAMPLE: 33.877935 s 151.218958 e

Look like an awesome unit, by reading i assume its only a tracking device, and won't alert you if your alarm gets triggered?

This has been discussed before:

"You may also be able to use the main power cut alert function as an alert 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 call 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. This relay trick should work if the siren on the car blares continuously, not intermittently. Therefore, it should be okay with most aftermarket car alarm systems."

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
