GPS Tracking tools - anti car-jacking

Hello,

I would want to know if there is a GPS tracking anti-car-jacking tool in the SL 55 AMG by default, or in option.

Tele-Aid included. Service is free first year and then you must subscribe to the service.

No car is 'anti car-jacking', if someone sticks a gun in your face and says get out you comply, however the car can be track and possibly located by GPS.

How much is the service after the first year?

If you want extra tracking check out trackmenow.com. This will allow you to track car by computer and phone, allows opening of doors,shutting ignition off, speed of car, if car goes out of state. I put this in my daughter's car more out of saftey then snooping. If your alarm goes off it will send a message to your phone and computer.

Around $23 a month or somewhat less if you pay the year in advance. Well worth the money, given that this provides a piece of mind not as much for theft, but in case of emergency or in an accident where police/ambulance will be notified and sent to the car's location.

I forgot the amount but it is really expensive. Having internet service and maybe your cell phone service is cheaper. My free year is up this month and I have to renew - I really think the service is overpriced.

That is the thinking for my dads reason not getting the Tele Aid also.

Another reason i decided against it (not recommending my dad get that) is that soon we're gonna ask the dealer to change the Star Diagnostic code to Norway so the car beeps when it locks and unlocks.

thank you guys for all these informations.

concerning trackmenow.com, it seems to be only a US product.
I am in France, what a pity they don't do it in Europ !
