Guide to Get LoJack for a Car You Already Own

The LoJack system consists of a wireless radio transponder the size of a deck of cards that is installed in a motor vehicle and activated by the police to track and recover the vehicle when it is reported stolen. The LoJack's signal is powerful enough to transmit through walls, dense foliage, and ship containers. LoJack is available for new cars and motorcycles through authorized LoJack dealers, but you can also get LoJack for a car you already own. Here's how.




    1
    Know whether LoJack coverage is available in your area. The LoJack radio signal requires special computer equipment for tracking; not all police departments are equipped to track the LoJack radio signal. A list of counties within states where LoJack coverage is available is available by calling 1-800-456-5225 (1-800-4-LoJack).
        The telephone list is usually more current than the list on the website.

    2
    Know the age of your car. LoJack makes different systems for cars built before 1985 (classic cars) than for cars made after that year. The difference in the units is that the classic car version is self-contained and does not require connection to the vehicle's battery to work.
        The LoJack version for cars made after 1985 does include a battery back-up to permit it to work if it is somehow disconnected from the battery.

    3
    Decide the level of protection you want. The basic LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is the wireless radio transponder described above, which LoJack's certified technicians install somewhere in your vehicle. For an additional fee, LoJack offers an Early Warning Recovery System that includes a key pass you carry with you when driving and notifies you by phone, cell phone, e-mail, text message, or pager if your car has been moved without your permission. (You choose which methods you want to be contacted by when you register your LoJack.)
        LoJack makes it a practice not to disclose where in the vehicle the LoJack unit is installed, not even to the vehicle owner. Although you can witness the installation, your recovery warranty may be voided if you do.

    4
    Contact LoJack to arrange purchase and installation. You can contact LoJack either online or by telephone, and you can arrange to have a technician install your LoJack unit at your home or office.
        You can contact LoJack online through its dealer locator and choosing the option "I already own my vehicle or equipment." You will then see a new screen into which you can enter your name, e-mail address, state of residence, ZIP code, phone number, and 200 characters' worth of comments. When you click "Submit," your information is sent to LoJack, who will contact you to make the necessary arrangements.
        You can purchase your LoJack system through LoJack's online store at https://www.lojack.com/products.

guide to Power a Car Amplifier Using a Computer Power Supply

If you recently switched vehicles and have no room for that big subwoofer in your new car, don't give it or throw it away. Keep it. Use it inside or outside your house by having it powered by a computer power supply.     1     Find the power pin. In the power supply packaging (if bought new) there should be a pinout diagram. Look for the pin that says something along the lines of “Power on”, "PS OK" or other key words that indicates a on signal. It will be on the biggest pigtail.         99% of the time it will be a green wire on new power supplies, but for older power supply “10+ years” the wire could be yellow or purple. If your power supply did not come with a pinout diagram, check the manufacturer website for a pinout diagram.     2     Cut the power wire from the pin and strip the end.     3     Cut the ground wire from the pin and strip the end. Refer to the pinout diagram to know which color is the ground wire. 99.9% of the time it will be t

Guide to Get LoJack for a New Car

"LoJack" is the trade name for a wireless radio transponder the size of a deck of cards that can be installed in a motor vehicle, either at the time of purchase or at a later time, to discourage the vehicle from being stolen.
