There are loads out there...all depends on how much you want to spend.

You can get ones that have live monitoring but that has device install and running subscriptions, or you can go the opposite way and get an android/iphone, put it on a plan and get a gps app that will tell you the location of the car.

havent heard of the phone trick before, assuping youd have to always have the GPS turned on on ya mobile, could be quite battery draining i guess

Why would it ? don't use a damn iPhone but a tried and true Nokia , cheap as chips , long standby and better signal

But iPhone can face time the crim and use find my phone app to simplify the setup and stream music , use for emergency like poor mans onstar

Haha lots of handy items if your clever and take it apart to mount the camera in dash bezel or vent

and you can set the phone to erase after failed attempts to unlock ( could be good or bad depending on mounting )

this is an awesome idea - i am in!

did some limited reading and the suggested wiring the iphone charger up using a 12V accessory plug and wiring it to a 'acc on' power source, so that it charges while your car is runninng - and there is no load on the battery when it's off.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
