Hi everybody

After seeing so many stags stolen I thought i might see if anyone is keen on a jaycar GPS tracker

I work for jaycar and can get damn good group buy pricing on GPS trackers

+8 pricing is approx $110, single unit price is $150

Here are the specs if anyone is interested i may organise a group buy PM me if you are

GPS/GSM Tracking Device

A GSM and GPS Tracking solution to locate and track the whereabouts of your vehicle in real time via the Internet on a computer or Smartphone. The device is easy to install with only 2 - 4 wires to connect. Insert a GSM Sim card (not included) and hide the device away on a metal surface or carpet using the included hook and loop adhesive. It works by sending the vehicle's GPS coordinates via the GSM network to the free online tracking service, which shows the location on Google Maps. It can also SMS longitude and latitude coordinates to up to 3 mobile phones, as well as alerts when vehicle exits a pre-determined area or exceeds pre-set speed.

Other features include an engine kill function to remotely disable the petrol pump, and movement sensor to extend battery life. An SOS/Panic button is also supplied which can send an SMS to the pre-programmed mobile phones. The built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery will keep the device functioning for up to 4 days when power is disconnected, which could help you locate the vehicle should it have been stolen and abandoned.

There is no installation or on-going tracking charges. You only pay for the GSM sim card and service. Supplied with wiring loom, installation and operation manual.

Please Note: This tracker is compatible with 3G SIM cards , however it only operates on a 2G band .

Features:

• Real time upload current location to website

• Turn off car engine by Internet platform or SMS for Anti-theft

• Listening sound around tracker with silence by SMS or platform.

• No platform Service charge (Our free tracking platform)

• SIMCOM GSM module (Quad band)

• Upload interval is 30 seconds according the setting of tracker

• Built in shock sensor to control GPS on off to extend battery life

• Shock sensor can be used as car shock & movement alarm

• Website shows history tracking

I believe this should be in the General Automotive section as it isn't really stagea specific. Alot of Nissans have been stolen recently.

Do you have any screen shots of the tracking system or photo of the product? How would this pair up to the Mongoose VT404?

what would be the average ongoing cost of the sim cards?

On going costs would be by which ever plan you chose. The sim card is not included and you have to go sign yourself up with a carrier and just pop it in.

what would be the average ongoing cost of the sim cards?

Google 'long expiry' phone plans. Most discount resellers use Optus network so you need to be sure there's coverage where your car will normally be stolen.

The first plan I saw was $15 for 6 months.

That plan makes no sense.

$1/month, but minimum first month charge is $41, and you must have a minimum of $20 in your account at any one time.

So why is the first month $41?

$1 monthly fee

$20 for the sim card

$20 deposit

Then you just pay $1 month... Works out to be $1 per week really

$20 Deposit in case your car is stolen and you lose the sim card. (obviously they want it back @ some stage?) lol

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
