LoJack is an aftermarket vehicle tracking system that allows cars to be tracked by police after being stolen. The manufacturer claims a 90% recovery rate. The name "LoJack" is a play on the word "hijack," meaning the theft of a vehicle through force.
How it works
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is a silent tracking device hidden in your vehicle that is automatically activated by the police when you report your vehicle stolen and enables the police to track and recover your vehicle. The LoJack technology uses radio frequency as opposed to GPS. This allows police to recover vehicles when they are hidden in garages and other dense areas. It also can be upgraded to alert the owner of a vehicle if the car is moved or started, via LoJack Early Warning.
