To prevent the car being stolen, DO NOT buy an Accord.

hahahaha….or don’t buy a Camry…

or even a car…..

Take note that there are some insurance company that refuse to accept expensive car unless it is installed with some kind of extra security other than the standard alarm.

The old Honda Accord 3 generations back had this skyguard system. Can locate, start, stop, unlock, lock car. But that was free as standard- due to the economic crysis and honda was struggling with sales.

For this amount of money…I think its a waste of money for a car. Unless you are you live in a neighbourhood that is bound to be robbed and you are the only one left not robbed. Or your honda accord is made of gold. But then there is 1st party insurance right?

Just a marketing hype. RM30 monthly services charges is way to much as the GPS module is in sleep mode unless activated whenever there is a theft alert. The system will only works when alerted and start sending tracking signals thru GSM SIM card (SMS data transfer) where the charges is very-very small, few cents only and your car sure are not being stolen every month rite!..

Summore nowadays advance tracking system used in fleet management for logistic companies are already using GPRS instead of GSM…Honda and its counterparts are making easy money out of nothing…no wonder they dare to pay RM15k if the car not recovered!

@Azmi K yeah i have seen gsm jammers on sale online as well, but dare not order, sure sekat at customs. well they do have that RM15k compensation if they do not manage to recover your vehicle, that exceeds the cost of installation.

I remember the other day about theft using GSM jammer to steal car equipped with GPS-GSM device. This offer is really a bold claim and to me, another marketing hype as they could lose out if stolen can't be recovered. I've seen that GSM jammer and no electronic device can circumvent it.

Barring that GSM jammer, anyone interested to get similar system can have it at the cost of mobile phone only. The trick is a feature called Friend Finder by Digi or Maxis. Leave and hide this mobile phone in your car with adequate power or tap into car's electrical. Further details of this feature is here So, if luck is not on your side and your beloved car stolen, all you have to do is send SMS (FF FIND mobile_number_of_your_car) to 2000. Just make sure that mobile number is active.

Car can get stolen anytime and anywhere when we are least expected of it. NO one can predict when our car can be stolen.

It's not fair to say that Rm 30.00 per month is way too much. The operation centre have to be in operational mode 24 hours daily even though we are having our sweet dreams at home.The recovery team also have to be employed 24 / 7 .

With all the compensation built in , the benefits clearly outweigh the cost for us to have a more ease of comfort in our mind of losing our cars.

For an asset worth around 150,000! , what is Rm 360 per year.

I think you're forgetting the cost of maintaining the 24 hours recovery team responsible to track and retrieve the car plus other maintenance cost? These kind of huge operation has high expenses, but at least it produces results unlike other products who require you to face the thieves yourself. SMS data transfer is but a small cost as you've mentioned.

I think GM's OnStar system is a much better system. But of course its only for GM vehicles in North America.

Yep, they are capitalizing your fear.

Besides, don't you have insurance for this sort of stuff?

For $30 a month I would expect GM OnStar level of service.
