https://www.solidgps.com/ Has anyone tried one of these trackers in their cars. The reviews I found were in caravans. Sounds pretty good for the money. If they work in a torana that is. There's not a lot of areas in an LJ that doesn't have a fair bit of steel over it. Any feedback would be great. I think I might try one anyway?.

They look good, although they need mobile phone coverage to work.  Here in WA, coverage has gone to sh#t in the country areas since 3G was shut down. Only in the country though. The city slickers don't seem to be affected.

It says its 4g but is that the old 4g or the new volte 4g ? My old 4g phone hasn't worked since they shut 3g down

I have been trying one out in a VF Wagon for a few weeks. Just sitting inside the console bin at the moment so the only steel in the way is the roof.

Seems to work well. Signal strength is usually reported as "great" or better. One report of "poor" this morning in the middle of the freeway but still could see its location.

I am happy with performance.

I wonder, can you see its location when it’s in a shed, enclosed trailer or inside a building?

I’m also thinking about trying one out.

Cheers,

Liz 😊

For those playing along at home , and following the VF Commodore/HSV theft-a-thon - I thought these devices?? were discussed  in that arena with the chat being along the lines  of -

 Good thing

 

Needs to be wired  in, or the device's internal battery  life needs to be considered.

 

The grubs/skanks/skid kids/parts dealers etc who steal the cars by using their fancy Key re-programmers ( not for Xu1s obviously)  etc, also have 'tracker  locators' and can quickly  locate said tracker and remove it/ transfer  it to a school bus etc.

 

That's all from a month or so ago/from memory, so don't  hold me to it.

 

Regardless  of the fors/againsts, you need to do something to protect your  investment/pride and joy.
