LoJack Location in car

This is called Defamation. Libel is actionable in a court of law, and will clean out your bank account. You have been reported, and if the admins don't take action I will indeed pursue this in court.

I just wired up my wolfbox dashcam and while I was in there I noticed the spireon "lojack" device. It was such a half ass install. Piggybacked to my obdII port and their port was just shoved in the bracket and was flopping around loose. I removed the lojack and snapped my port back in place.

Lojack installations vary. I ordered it when I bough my Subaru, then cancelled when they wouldn't let me watch the install. I wanted to check the quality of work plus wanted to know where to look if their install caused a problem.

All Lojack transmitters use the same frequency, 173.075 MHz. Professional thieves know this and know how to find them. There are several ways to locate a transmitter once you know the frequency it's using. One of the oldest, but least sensitive is an absorption wave meter. I think many bug detectors could be modified to locate a Lojack transmitter.

Also a flipper zero or hackrf can find those frequencies. I think dealers put them in to track their inventory then charge the customer like it is a product for them.

They use a different device.

Some used car dealers who carry their own financing install a device to make it easier to find a car if they need to repossess it. Lojack doesn't have GPS. It's just a beacon for cops to follow. The other devices use GPS.

Mine was the edge M4. GPS, accelerometer and cell.
