Looks like a cool device. I’d suggest actually relocating the OBD port and then using the extension also to move the device away as you have. This is because thieves may be able to compromise the car security using the OBD port and this would mean they are looking for it and would immediately unplug your device to gain access. Someone tried to steal my RS some years back and they were trying to use a device to program a key and tried to access the OBD port. I had already relocated it for other reasons (Cobb AP) and this I believe slowed them down and they abandoned the theft. I have other security now as a result. You want your tracker as covert as possible ideally. Anyway love the videos!
My son's catalytic converter was stolen from under his vehicle. Will this prevent something like this from happening, like if vibration is detected if someone is underneath the vehicle?
For sure, any vibrations, even disconnection of the device will alert you. I got an alert once at work, luckily I had access to surveillance cameras to check right away but didn't catch anything near my car. So after I went back to the car, I found that the radar detector had fallen off from the window from it's suction, so that slightest vibration alerted me. 👍
i have 2 questions and I would be grateful if you could answer me if you know of course . 1) If someone opens the car door and finds that the carlock system is in the special slot and pulls it out, then the protection it offers is useless or I won't be able to see where my car is. 2) having it in the special case of your car and for some reason you have to be absent for 4...5 days. Does it consume your car battery? is there a chance I'll run out of battery? thanks in advance
Hi! Great questions, thank you! 1) if the device is disconnected from the OBD, you're immediately notified through the CarLock app on your phone so you can react. In case the tracker is too visible when plugged into the OBD, you can also install it using the extension or the power cable that we also provide. You can check the following blog post: www.carlock.co/blog/obd-extension-cable-power-adapter/ CarLock has a backup battery that works for 30-45 minutes after the device has been unplugged. 2) Regarding the battery: The device has different power-saving modes, so when the car is idle, it will consume only around 2mA. Even if your car is idle for a couple of weeks, there should be no problem, if your battery is good.
