A new accessory from Mopar, the Electronic Tracking System, will help owners of Chrysler Group LLC vehicles locate stolen vehicles and can alert parents if the teen who borrowed the car was speeding.
"Mopar's new tracking system provides vehicle owners the peace of mind that comes with always knowing where their vehicle is located," said Pietro Gorlier, chief executive of Mopar Service, Parts and Customer Care.
The $459 device, which fits in the palm of your hand, is mounted behind the dash so it is hidden. Once installed it acts as a GPS-enabled stolen vehicle recovery system that offers nationwide tracking.
The system is available for all Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles equipped with the necessary data port.
There is no subscription fee for the base plan that offers vehicle locator and tracking services and a $1,000 theft protection warranty that serves as a $1,000 deductible if the service cannot find your stolen car.
The services are similar to General Motors Co.'s OnStar system but Guidepoint operates via the owner's cell phone. OnStar's call system is imbedded in the vehicle.
