lol.. try to read the diagram.. its simple.. its a switch that activates only when theres a magnet on it.. so u have to have a magnet over the switch for u to turn on the car.. and like i said before u can conceal it in places like under the dash or in the side of the seat cusion...

I thought that some mobile phones have GPS built in. So, maybe an extra phone can be activated and left in the car to track it (ringer off and kept hidden)? I dunno.

kinda exspesive wouldn't it be? another phone bill just to have it track the car?

think from what i have seen so far the pet tracker hooked to a key chain type clip and hidden seems to eb the best idea so far.
