Hi.
I have been searching for information on Security Systems for my LC100 that include GPS tracking. Any experience? Any good or bad stories? Any recommended products?
Cheers, Rod.

After having lost 2 Prados to theifs in 2002 I installed Quiktrax into the third vehicle and had no further problems. In June I also got the LC100 and was about to transfer the unit when they went into administration.
I did a lot of research and came up with the Brant system which is suppose to be extended later this month to attache to a GPS tracking system. (Your question has reminded me to contact them for an update).
The Brant system has long been recomended by MB Prestige Underwriting for all there Prestige Motor Insurance clients.
I think my immob unit was about $350 but I don't know how much the upgrade will be.
They are helpful and nice guys and are at Five Dock.

Would you let us know what the outcome of your contact with them is please. I have been hoping someone would start doing a GPS tracking system for stolen cars. Would be excellent for dropping insurance costs i believe.

You are naieve if you think that this will drop insurance costs. Nothing ever will drop insurance costs. Nothing has, nothing will. Even when your vehicle drops 50% in market value due to age insurance costs do not ever drop.
Wake up and smell the cheese. I added an immobiliser, alarm system and data dot and my premium went up as the value of the immobiliser and alarm system was expensive and added to the value of the vehicle.
These companies are on the stock market and their first priority is to provide profits to shareholders not discounts to customers. When they become unprofitable or do not reach forecasted profit margins they then put themselves on the market for takeover in order to increase shareholder dividends or stock value.
Reduction in premiums? You are joking???????
