LoJack Corp. announces the availability of LoJack Early Warning, a new stolen vehicle notification system that builds upon LoJack's market-leading recovery solution. The system includes two early warning key passes and early warning motion sensor. If a vehicle is moved without a key pass, the vehicle owner is notified in his/her preferred method of contact.

“Our customers want to start the recovery process as soon as possible in the event their car is stolen,” says Donna Driscoll, vice president, global marketing, LoJack. “We developed the system to complement our proven wireless recovery technology with a proactive communications process that provides additional peace of mind for the consumer.”

The patented core system includes a small wireless radio-frequency transceiver, hidden in the vehicle at the time of purchase. Each LoJack system is registered to the vehicle identification number. Once a stolen vehicle is reported to the police, the vehicle identification number is matched to the system by state law enforcement computers. After the match, police activate the LoJack system by emitting silent radio signals from a small radio transceiver. Law enforcement vehicles and helicopters equipped with LoJack follow these signals to recover the stolen vehicle.
