So I've been toying with the idea of fitting a tracker but refuse to subscribe or pay a fortune.
Been thinking , I've got an old iPhone 3G and am thinking the following.
Installing find my phone app on the 3G and my current 4s.
Wiring up another cigerette lighter female to an ignition live and hiding it in the centre console.the good thing about an iPhone is even if fully charged in an off state when you plug them in then auto turn on.
Even if the battery is dead it only takes 5 mins to power up and will still auto switch on
The 3G will be left in the car on charge , hidden in an off state.
On my 4s or pc I'd activate the 3G as lost so the next time it comes online I'd get an email saying its found. Basically if I get that email it means someone has started the car , the cigerette lighter has powered up turning the phone on. Then I can track the phone, collect my cross bow and retrieve said car.
So what ya think?
