How about that, my car has a LoJack. Not too thrilled to find it to be honest.

Crappily installed on my turn signal wiring. No wonder I have such low voltage on my turn signals.

see ya sucker.  What happens if I remove this? Does it trigger an alert automatically?  There is a battery in the unit in the second picture.

Ummm is it bad if i can’t remember which car you actually own (versus the many cars you post...) a little help ? I bet there’s a video online on how to defeat/remove a lojack...

Leave it. It is paired for life. If it gets stolen, they’re alerted and activate it.

LoJack doesn’t do shit if you aren’t paying them monthly.

A LoJack on a GX? Would not have guessed.

Also I'd just leave it.

It’s on the cruiser actually. Once upon a Time it was a very expensive car. Backup battery is toast and it’s (lo)jacking with my car. It’s gone

Related - I was walking around town today and saw an Olds Cutlass with TheClub on the steering wheel. People still use this stuff?

This, though technically it would be transmitting a signal at all times if I recall correctly. If the car is reported stolen, the receivers in the police cars are updated with the relevant information and if they happen to start receiving a signal from your unit they’ll be able to triangulate the position of the vehicle through a circular series of led’s which point them in the correct general direction.

Or at least that’s how they did things back in the day, anyway, before wireless internet and gps in everything was the norm.

Modern cars don’t need them, but if it’s old enough it might be practical. By about the mid-00s, anything that wasn’t totally basic transportation was pretty challenging to steal.

Not that car theft is that common anymore, anyway . All crime is so way down from the era when these were popular.
