Please check this website http://netstar.com.my/
GPS racking system
the GPS will lost it tracking capability once it goes into underground, but the GSM module will report the last position to the control center.
All my trucks in my company is installed with such system (about 50 units), each month we pay 150 for everything per unit, but the installation will cost you RM500-600 which include all the wire, antenna, panic button, immobilizer, etc.
BTW, it is very hard for someone to jam the GSM signal due the the large coverage everywhere, unless your car goes into the lift, where there is a closed area.

that u can get radiostar 2 way alarm.......
look it up in the marketplace; think they're doing some promotion......
dun expect a GSM tracking device with that kinda budget; cos usually it cost more than 1k for GSM.........think should be around 2k.
I would like to ask for budget around 400 what kind of alarm can get and for those two way alarm is it really useful to receive the signal from the alarm?? for e.g. i park my car at the basement then i still can receive the signal?? any one have the experience on it??? and currently in market there is a alarm brand call popmomo as from the sales man he said this brand is the subsidiary company from momo company in Italy which product the steering.. is it true and what the comment about this brand product..
i really need advice on it thanks.......
i really need advice on it thanks.......
chimaera.....try google it up on the so called product popmomo....
but i dun think it's true....MOMO is developing for performance parts.....not security.
Anyway, if you park in the basement; dun think 2 way would work.....try asking radiostar staff on that.......unless the radio frequency is using VHF.......
anyway, you could ask the installer or seller.

Hi Boon,
You seem to know a lot about how 2-way works. Just to add on. The distance between your car and remote can be further with our 2-way alarms because they communicate through radiowaves.
As compared to the conventional 1-way alarm which uses infra-red. E.g., your t-v remote. How far can it go right?
For you to get an idea how our alarm works, it's like your radio or the walkie talkie. When you go underground, the radio signal becomes weak. The reason is because of obstructions from the concrete all over you. The further the distance will also reduce the signal strength.
Nevertheless, the distance is definitely further for a 2-way alarm than a 1-way one.

Just for comparison....i'm using the black mamba brand from brothers; and my housemate is using radiostar (shud be tiger.....not too sure).
Range: radiostar is defintely better than black mamba (tested it out). We live in a 2 and a half story link house. Parked both car down the road; and tested it inside closed rooms that's facing the back. Mine doesn't work; but my friend's one does.
The only downpart, the shock sensor for radiostar; it only caters for 3 settings....i.e. high medium low. Medium is quite sensitive d as thunder would shook the car and arm the alarm. Low however is not that sensitive enough unless you hit near the point the transponder is. At least black mamba is using the old normal shock sensor whereby you could turn the dial to adjust the sensitivity to your likeness....
Pricing wise: personally think it's around there with radiostar slightly more expensive than black mamba...

oh....forgot to add; I get the black mamba purely because I like the way the remote was designed. Doesn't seem to like the ones with LCD screens.......
looks like toys....
mine only with buttons and blinking indicators, no fancy LCD..........

I guess its Form vs Function.
Some people buy things because they look good while others because they need the function.
Car alarms are meant to enable security for the car. Thus the basic consideration for buying a car alarm should be its functions. Are they able to provide the sufficient protection my car needs? Otherwise, why buy an alarm for the car?
Of course a product that offers great functions and at the same time has form, will definitely cost more. All handphones have similar functions but its the look that determines the price.
In the case of Radiostar, its form with function.
