What is the best GPS Vehicle Tracking/ Theft Recovery System? (Please no Lojack or Teletrac- I’ve tried them)

Question by carnut13: What is the greatest GPS Car Tracking/ Theft Recovery Method? (Please no Lojack or Teletrac- I’ve attempted them) Does any person have any expertise, which are the most up-to-date following-market car theft recovery (tracking) systems that also get good reception and work on a convertible? The mounting of the antenna is particularly problematic on older (classic Mercedes) convertibles because the steel dash shields the antenna and other locations, either don’t offer adequate space or produce other problems.

I would like to be able to not only track the car on-line, but also by calling in to check for its present place (for instance, when I am parked in a parking garage in the mall, and so on.

I am not interested in LoJack or Teletrac as they do not function nicely. Also, I would like to be able to track the automobile myself through net.

My primary problems with the past systems that I have utilized is that they often did not work, particularly when the vehicle is close to an airport, within a garage or in other “dead zones”.

THANKS! Tom

Does anyone have any experience, which are the latest after-market vehicle theft recovery (tracking) systems that also get good reception and work on a convertible? The mounting of the antenna is particularly problematic on older (classic Mercedes) convertibles because the steel dash shields the antenna and other locations, either don’t provide enough space or create other problems.

I would like to be able to not only track the car on-line, but also by calling in to check for its current location (for instance, when I am parked in a parking garage in the mall, etc.

I am not interested in LoJack or Teletrac as they do not work well. Also, I would like to be able to track the car myself via internet.

My main problems with the past systems that I have used is that they often did not work, especially when the car is near an airport, inside a garage or in other “dead zones”.
