RecovR: Vehicle Theft Recovery

unless you’re an actual car dealer, this app and recovery unit are useless. The app itself has not user-friendly, and for some reason the unit is hard to find 95% of the time. It was put in my lease car by the dealer without my knowledge. I don’t think they were trying to hide it, just the sales person I worked with didn’t mention it. Turns out lease car. I found it in the paperwork. In any case I found the app in the App Store, loaded it and use it to track my car during transport to another state for an extended vacation. Barely ever got his signal. Fortunately I also put an apple tracker in the car that worked flawlessly for three days of transport. Now one year into the tracker it sends a message that it’s not operating and they need to send me a new one. Vague information how I’m even supposed to contact them. The whole thing is a joke

This app is pretty cool. I’m allowed to track and locate my vehicle at any time. With theft on the rise, this app gives me a little extra peace of mind. Not to mention several other benefits. I can also track and locate my keys with a tag and also find my phone with my key tag. I can set up alerts so that if my car moves I get notified etc.

I got salesmaned into letting the dealership leave this useless piece of junk in my car when I bought it, the assured me my insurance would give me a break when I told them I have it. That I would know where my car was at any time. How long it had been there and so on, the dealer assured me they use them on their cars in the lot as their own theft detomrant. However I have had this car for about 4 months and I think it has actually located my car once. In fact two months later it still thinks my car is parked there. To add insult to injury, I had a friend drop my car in long term parking at airport so when I got home from my flight I didn’t have to hassle with a cab or deal with an Uber, don’t worry about where you park it; I say. Assuming my theft recovery gps will find it when I need it. Turns out no, not only will it not find it when I contact customer service they literally say oh it will check in sooner or later, try doing a force locate. I finally find my car an hour later by pressing the panic button then walking 100 yards and trying again. I found my car before the GPS did. Oh and the last reported location? Ya right where it was parked…. Two months ago. No wonder my insurance refused any discount.
