couple of things you can do really....

1) Go to Autobarn they are selling an alarm (Viper i think) which has the alarm its self and the gps unit by its self. Gps unit isnt a live feed, it works off a signal when you request it (costs $100 a year)

2) Buy a andrioid phone, put it on the simplest plan and install a tracking app. Use when required and put it in a well hidden place

Hi Mate,


We sell a few different trackers at Carbon Car System.

There are 3x I would recommend:

1. Viper SmartStart GPS Tracking - (mentioned above) - $389 inc GST + $99 Per Year

This is designed to work with a Viper alarm for the full features but you can hook it up as a passive GPS tracker so you can track your vehicle on your phone anytime. The application is quite cool you can download for free off any App Store and try it. Viper SmartStart App. This offers a real time spot location check and is really really easy to use and accurate! If you couple it with an alarm system you can get alerts on your email and phone also. It does run a cost of $99 per year but they include all the hardware, sim card in unit (telstra for best coverage) and usage of the unit.

2. Mongoose VT404 - $370 inc GST + $20 Per Year

This is again a passive GPS tracker similar to above but it is limited to its ability to SMS alerts and GPS spot location checks via SMS. It can also be hooked to a car alarm to receive alerts on the phone. Benefit is it doesn't have an ongoing cost except sim card usage so you can us a prepaid SIM costing as little as $20 per year.

3. GridTraq Executive - $499 inc GST + $20 Per Month

This is a full live tracking GPS system that allows you to monitor vehicle online through website access anytime any where with historical data stored and alerts. This is the real deal full GPS live monitoring. It does cost a little more and comes associate with a fee of $20 per month.

Anyway thats a few basic options for you if you want any help feel free to contact us anytime we are very good with vehicle security.

Kind Regards,

Daniel Gardener

So the smartphone would have to be on charge permanently?

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
