Hi All
I read somewhere that someone in this community had created their own LoJack system by combining a cell module with GPS. Can anyone point me to that? or failing that, give me some pointers as to what I need? I want to put it into a bicycle so a power pack of some kind is necessary. I have no experience with delicate soldering so maybe a good (and cheap) practice project would be an idea too. I find it irritating that the technology exists to create and use such a system for little outlay and running costs but the commercial systems are pushing the prices as hard as they can. I envisage simply calling up the phone when stolen and having it respond with co-ordinates?
I cant find a cell phone provider up here in Canada that can supply a set-up that I consider affordable for using the built in systems that come with newer phones.
