Pointless, but cool!For more detailed info click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but that’s a rotary so no one would take the sh1tbox) I would love to see the look on the dudes face after he stole the car and it stopped in the middle of the street, the doors locked and the horn and lights started going off!! Gold....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send a sms code to the phone and it would start a shut down sequence, oil pump, fuel pump then engine cut... leaving the car undrivable and rolling to a slow stop while the alarm starts to go burko!In the event where the alarm was triggered by tilt, glass breaking, door/boot/bonnet trigger, or motion sensor being alarmed it would send an SMS to that same phone and advise of what happened... Was great when it was in valet - pricks had no idea what was going on...Still got it in a box here somewhere I think, unless Da Gurly threw it out when we moved...Awesome be of gear!Think it was called a GM100 or GM1000 or something.. only down side was Chinese crap quality, and about 1200$Think this is from the same company..http://www.portmansecurity.com/car-gm500.php Edited 06/04/09 10:31 AM by smicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
