By recovering your car quickly with LoJack, you can avoid this expense and loss of time. Plus, you may be able to save on insurance - check with your agent for details.
Two Automobile Products for Greater Protection LoJack provides two products to help protect your car: the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System and the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System.
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System gives you a 90 percent chance of recovering your car quickly and with less damage. When your car is stolen, a tiny transmitter hidden deep within the vehicle tells the police exactly where your car is located so they can track it and recover it - many times within an hour. The LoJack transmitter's Radio Frequency signal is so strong it can penetrate through garage walls, steel containers, dense foliage and other places thieves may try to hide your vehicle.
The LoJack Early Warning Recovery System provides an added layer of protection for your car. The LoJack Early Warning Recovery System notifies you directly if your car is moved without your authorization. LoJack will alert you by phone, e-mail and/or pager so you can quickly check on the status of your vehicle. If a theft has occurred, the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System enables the police to track and recover your vehicle even sooner.
1) Installation
LoJack is a small, silent Radio Transceiver that is hidden in your vehicle by a certified LoJack technician. Once installed, the Unit is automatically registered in the LoJack Database, which interfaces with the National Crime Information Computer (NCIC) system used by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
2) Notification*
In the event of a theft, you report the incident to the police, who make a routine entry into the state police crime computer, resulting in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state VIN database. This process automatically triggers the activation of the LoJack Unit in your vehicle.
3) Activation
Once your theft is reported to police, law enforcement computers send a signal via the LoJack Radio Tower Network to activate the LoJack in vehicle. When activated, the LoJack Unit begins emitting an inaudible signal that can be tracked by police cars and aviation units that are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers.
4) Tracking
The LoJack Police Tracking Computer receives the LoJack Signal and leads the police to your stolen vehicle. Unlike GPS systems, which require line-of-sight access to orbiting satellites, LoJack's patented Radio Frequency Signal can penetrate forest cover, parking garages and many other obstructions, helping ensure the vehicle will be located by police, regardless of where thieves may be hiding it.
5) Recovery
Once your vehicle is tracked and recovered, you will be notified by police. LoJack boasts a 90-percent recovery rate nationally, with most recoveries completed within hours.
*Note: If you have the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System, you will be notified directly via phone, email, and/or pager if your car is moved without your authorization so you can quickly check on your vehicle. if a theft has occured, the LoJack Early Warning Recovery System enables police to track and return your vehicle sooner.
The patented LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System includes a small Radio-Frequency transceiver hidden in one of 20 places in your vehicle. Each LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System has a unique code that is tied into the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). When a theft is reported to the police, a routine entry into the state's police crime computer results in a match of the LoJack System's unique code against the state VIN database. This automatically activates the LoJack Unit in your vehicle, which emits an inaudible signal. Law enforcement authorities that are equipped with LoJack Police Tracking Computers-in their police cars and aviation units-are always listening for a LoJack signal. Police use the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System to track and recover your LoJack-equipped vehicle.

Your Vehicle Says, "Here I am!"
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System uses a strong FCC-allocated Radio Frequency signal which works through concrete walls, ceilings and other barriers (such as underground parking garages) to locate LoJack-equipped vehicles. Other services use a satellite system, which requires an unobstructed line of sight between the vehicle's satellite antenna and orbiting GPS satellites.
Disable It? Thieves Can't Even Find It!
The LoJack Unit is covertly hidden within a vehicle (not even the owner knows where it is). Other systems rely on a short visible antenna that can easily be broken off by a thief.

When you file a stolen vehicle report with the police, police computers send a silent radio signal to your car, automatically activating the hidden LoJack transmitter in your vehicle. Police can then track the signal and locate the vehicle.
Is my LoJack always "on"?
Your LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is always in receiving mode, ready to be activated by a silent signal from police computers.
How do I know if my LoJack is working?
Your LoJack is tested and certified at the time of installation. We then recommend an inspection of your LoJack every two years. Inspections cost $79* and can be arranged by calling 1-800-4-LOJACK (1-800-456-5225).

No. The LoJack Unit constantly draws a very small amount of power from your vehicle's battery. Should your battery be disconnected, LoJack's backup battery will provide power.
What should I do if my vehicle is stolen?

Many insurance companies offer a discount to LoJack owners. In fact, some insurance companies offer up to 35 percent off the comprehensive portion of your insurance premium for equipping your vehicle with LoJack and an alarm. Call your insurance agent to see if you qualify for a discount.
Can car thieves find my LoJack and beat the system?
The LoJack Unit is very small-about the size of a deck of cards-so it can be hidden in as many as 20 to 30 different places in your vehicle. This makes it very difficult for thieves to find your LoJack.
Why is there no exterior marking on the vehicle stating it has LoJack? Wouldn't a LoJack sticker act as a theft deterrent?
LoJack is not designed to be a deterrent. One of the major benefits of the System is that LoJack is covert, thus a thief does not know whether or not your vehicle is equipped with LoJack. This increases the likelihood of rapid recovery and minimal damage.
