GPS and Alarm

[bob1966]

Any advice on GPS and Alarm Systems.
Like to add one to my 66 GTO.
Thanks, bob1966

Are you referring to two separate items: a GPS for mapping and a separate entry alarm system?

OR...

Rather the GPS tracking systems, there are a lot of them on the market. They only work to track a stolen car, not stop entry (though some seem to have alarms of some sort too). Here is a web site that rates the top ten of those: https://heavy.com/tech/2016/09/top-best-gps-tracking-devices-for-cars-vehicle-monitoring-obdii-module/

Hi Larry, yes , Track stolen car and some sort of alarm or warning system.
Maybe send a text to your phone. thanks for the info.

Let us all know if you find a good one in your search so others might gain from your research.

I hope the link I sent will be of help. Like so much on the internet today though... it's nice to find a lot of information-- but sometimes it's even too much to digest. Does Consumer Report still exist? They were pretty good and unbiased too.

will do,
Think I'll go to some car shows and see what other classic car owners are using. Your link was a good start, lot of info.
Thanks

hi Larry, most alarm/tracking are plugged into your OBD plug.
Not having one in my 66 GTO gave me a limited choice.
I decided to try CARLOCK. They have a two wire adaptor you can wire in with no trouble. $60.00 for Tracker/Alarm + $9.60 monthly fee, no contract.
Easy to setup and use. Has several nice features.
Only issue I have is not getting sound with my alerts.
They are working on that for me. Probable a setting on my iPhone.

It seems like the things the insurance companies want you to use so they can track your driving habits.

Looks like good peace of mind.
