Re: What's your best theft deterrent ???

If it moves about 100 foot without the fob you get a text, call the police and its being tracked within about two minutes of being jacked.

I have one (and its installed in a killer location, the guy was willing to work with me on that and let me help in the install because it's an older vehicle).

I've never done the "Drive away without the fob" yet because I'm not sure what kind of commotion it'd cause, but I -would- like to verify that it works right.

If I leave the fob at home and drive the truck, do I get a text message before the police are notified? I really don't want to raise a false alarm!
