joelkimba Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hey Guys! Got a few questions: What is everyone using for Alarm System (besides the simple factory lock/unlock)? Has anyone gotten the Ford Upgraded Alarm? Is there a “recommended/best” system out there? How about LoJack? Other Anti-Theft recommendations? Thanks! Joel.

clark17357 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have used Lo-Jack all along. No one has stolen my car so I have not tested the recovery aspect of Lo-Jack. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt500 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I had LoJak installed at the time of purchase/delivery- I think it was $695. I've never had a vehicle stolen, and certainly hope I can say that for the rest of my life, but I don't want to take any chances with this car. I have heard good things about LoJak as well. I also use a steering wheel lock bar (Club) whenever I park where I won't be able to see the vehicle for a while. They are around $30 at WalMart or any auto parts store. Good luck!

TX08SS Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I would suggest going with a GPS auto tracking system, making sure it's a reputable company of course. Lojack is ancient by today's standards. Yes, most police cars are equipped with Lojack tracking, but it will only work if the stolen vehicle is in close proximity to the patrol car. And you should see what we (officers) see when the Lojack is activated...we get an arrow that points to the general direction of the stolen vehicle, not very good when you're at a busy intersection.

Lgs ShelbyGT Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Lojack, because it was already in the car at purchase The notification does work promptly. Recently, my fob battery was low, as soon as I moved the car Lojack called my cell phone. But my understanding is that you have to call it in to Lojack as an actual event when you get the notification call, so that Lojack may notify local law enforcement. If that is true, then wondering what happens if you aren't around your phone or email to get the notification... Best of luck deciding on the best solution for your Shelby.

Rod_Michel Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Lo Jack = dependant on local towers. SmartAlert = GPS. Hence why I installed SmartAlert. It wasn't cheap, but am extremely pleased thus far... http://www.myskyway.com/skydoc/SmartAlert/FrostandSullivanAward.html Hey Guys!
