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.

yeah thanks for the input as well, im just suprised that they dont make more of these type of things... they have LoJack which is car alarm but with gps but thats like 2-300 as well... might as well just get that instead of paying the 399 for a lil gps receiver... To bad theres no way to really make one or something... The spare cell phone idea isnt that bad, but in time you're gonna be paying way over what it would cost to just manufacture some other idea together ya know... good ideas, keep'm coming plz

iv got 2 cars with alot invested into them.. one is my drag car and the other is a show car and both have lojack systems.. thats the best way for a car to get tracked.. my race car get jacked and as soon as i found it it was gone i called the cops and 15 mins later i gota phone call to come get my car... best money spent

a lot of guys that go down to the track have lojack on their cars as well an claim its like the best thing ever for vehicle security cuz it also comes with an alarm, silent alarm, ect or something like that right..??? how much did u pay for ur lojack gps??

Become an amateur radio operator and participate in the APRS network (www.findu.com) with something like a TinyTrak4... You can make one relatively affordably in a small package. And it is free to use...

Some people have used this data to even get them out of traffic tickets for speeding since the APRS system logs the data...

i had never heard of the APRS thing, but after doing some reading, that sounds like a pretty good solution. i dont have time to do more reading on it, but you guys may want to check out:
