This wont work, the ad says to track where the unit has been it has to plugged into a laptop to get the readout
"It is also ideal for monitoring all vehicle activities of teenagers or spouses and the recorded vehicle data is easy to download -- simply remove the GPS-4 from the vehicle and plug into a PC/laptop USB port for downloading and incorporation of the GPS data into the included USA mapping software."

They say it works with web enables cell phones though I haven't tried this with the Mogul.

It might be less expensive to just get a 'throw-away' sprint phone and sign it up on the family locator service. It doesn't have to be GPS enabled. Remember to charge up the phone every so often and hide it somewhere within the car. Heck, if you had a charging port (cigarette lighter for the old school) in the back seat or trunk, you could keep the phone charged constantly.

It's $10\mo but Sprint has a 15 day free trial right now.

Another thing off the top of my head. Though this one would require another GPS enabled phone: Use the 'Buddy Tracker' feature on Navizon http://www.navizon.com/ to track the phone located in the car.

Not sure why this shouldn't work.

read it again, maybe you were reading the wrong one.... it has a built in GSM modem.

it only sends coordinates every 5 minutes (or a greater interval you set).

these are "spy" equipment, and are designed to mount under someone else's car, so im sure you're better off finding something you can put inside the car and hook up to the car battery if it's your own car.

just thought i would share as i had come across this the other day.
