Discounted LoJack at Dealer?

Anyone workout a deal with their smart dealer for a discount on LoJack?
Thinking of getting the LoJack Early Warning System....$995.00!

I paid $499 at mine. It was for the standard LoJack, not the one that calls you when its being stolen.

I'm wondering, if you are buying full coverage for the car, why buying the lo-jack? if someone take you car away, I think better don't find it back. just get the $ from the insurance company and buy a new one..

Technical review

Found this on a motorcycle site; anybody familiar enough with the technology to know if it could work as described?
Quote:
If you have a Cingular/AT&T phone (for example), get yourself an additional line account with a new free phone for $9.95 a month. Hide your old phone in your bike [car] (under the fuel tank) [or wherever] and invisibly rig it to your scooter [car] battery with the clipped wires of a cell phone power cord for a car cigarette lighter. Set the phone to allow the "Find Friends" feature. Anytime you wannna know where your bike [car] is, just pick up your own AT&T phone and use mMode ($3/month) to find out. And the police can use e911 do it much more precisely if your bike is stolen.

You'll want a phone/provider capable of e911 "Phase II service" for the best locating capability. Phase II is fairly new (2004). Maybe it would count for insurance discounts, too? Don't tell your broker where you got it, just tell him you have such a system installed.
