Message: <blockquote data-quote="mikelsc" data-source="post: 2248654" data-attributes="member: 52377">I was at another forum just now before I joined this one. There were probably just as many people frustrated with lost cars and wanting better security systems there. As such, I would just like to produce what I wrote there. I am a newbie to these forums and it was abit unnerving to see so many people loosing their cars. Here is what I wrote there. :shocked: I have been just catching up on the reading about vehicle security in this forum since I just joined it. I know how trummatic it can be to find your car gone after you nipped into the shop for a while. Mine, to be precise my mother's car which I drove, was gone in 5 minutes after I left it in section 14 PJ. This happened some years ago but the trumma never leaves you. You feel stressed and paniky whenever you are not able to locate your vehicle in a car park from then on. As such, I am terrified with huge underground carparks like KLCC and Mid Valley. At least one guy found his steering wheel and steering lock in the carpark at subang parade after the theif left with the car. I found nothing and Mr. Bean should be terrified with this kind of thief. Wonder what he would do .. maybe remove his 4 wheels when he parks i guess.I have been reading up on GSM/GPS products in the market. All GPS products have a major problem, and that is, you cannot locate the car when it is indoors, like an underground car park. This is because GPS signals are very weak. Therefore most security products that uses GPS needs to deal with this problem if it is to be effective. The problem is most of them dont and as a result, you will not be able to locate your vehicle if you are not quick enough to notice that it is gone. Most GSM/GPS products are ran by call centers that will monitor and some even recover your vehicles for you but dont count on a 100% success.Also, most GSM/GPS products work on SMS. This means if you want to know where your vehicle is right now, you will have to ask by sending an SMS message to the device. If the vehicle is in a carpark .. well it will reply "i dont know". If the car is already cut up, it wont even reply at all. .. oops .. there goes your car and the expensive product you just installed.Is there no hope then apart from taking the bus and never buy a car?Well, a new development has taken place and it would be good to know if the system really works. It is developed by a Malaysian company and works on GPRS rather than SMS. This means it sends location information periodically. This is exciting because if the vehicle does end up in the underground car park of some building, you will know which building but you will still not know where the car is in the car park. This is damn better than not knowing where at all.Likewise, if it got cut up, you will know which workshop it has ended up being cut up. visit http://www.my-starfish.com for more information. They will be launching on June 13th 2007 and you should keep an eye on this product.It promises to be good. Besides, it does not work on call centers. You get to monitor the car on the web with maps and google map satellite pictures also (visit their demo). Click on the view history link. This is where it gets interesting. It shows where the car had been and the route it travelled. This is such a great defining difference it is like going from a single cyliner 2 stroke engine to a 4 cylinder 4 stroke ones.I would love to see these thiefs pee in their pants to find out that their workshop has been exposed and they can do nothing about it but run.</blockquote>
