i checked the maxis friend finder and it's not going to work for tracking
stolen car...
the receiver must accept/decline the request from u first to know where is
your friend's phone..
so,if the car got stolen,nobody going to answer the request.
now,just think for another idea

Ehem.

I'd like to re-iterate the point brought forth by funkiller.

After experienced my car broken in via the passenger window looking for my
laptop, which was well-hidden and lap-chained to the seat, I'd like to
emphasize that THERE IS the device to track batteries of laptops and HPs
amongst the thieves. Of course, the perpetrators didn't get away with my
laptop, but they DID smash my window, as it parked outside my sister's
house on fine night! (Even if they located the laptop, good luck in trying
to snap the kevlar chain. Only way is to damage the laptop edges where the
chain is plugged into. Hope they have enough brains to know that a damaged
laptop is a useless laptop. I know slim-chance...)

But then again, funkiller has a point!

The other party would need to approve such request once. No reponse
required thereafter.

Now, Digi and Maxis can track each other. Celcom still shy away. To those
who have tried it, congratulation ! u got your self a dirt cheap GSM
trackig system. To those who still dont understand how it works, pls read
my post carefully. It will work. Your cost is just RM8.80 for a new sim
card + an old hand phone.

Did you all know that we can operate our car alarm (may be not all alarm
type)from hundreds or thousand km away from your car without using GPS.
Just using normal mobile phone. Have anyone of you experienced lost your
car key or lock your key in the car?

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person
at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on
their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your
keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away,
and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you
can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

So may be this can be used as additional to the cheap car security system
that susgested by aeiou. Instead of operated the alarm, we can also
operate the immo and stop the car from far far away.

share holder: 40% to aeiou, 40% to joraq202 & 20% to bOROi.
