Anti car theft device

The CarCom anti-theft system combines advanced in-vehicle telematics, satellite and mobile phone technologies with 24-hour security monitoring to deliver high levels of vehicle protection, driver assistance and passenger safety available in Australia.

CarCom services are available across the Telstra GSM mobile network and the CarCom Assistance Centre, staffed by highly trained and security cleared call agents, is ready to respond 24 hours a day.

CarCom addresses many of the safety and security risks associated with motoring today including vehicle theft, carjacking and road rage, providing owners with peace of mind in any motoring situation. At the touch of a button passengers can be immediately connected to emergency assistance via a two-way voice and data link, a critical step towards helping reduce the response time of police and ambulance services.

CarCom can quickly locate, track and assist with the recovery of stolen vehicles and can remotely immobilise a stolen vehicle under police supervision.

CarCom enhances passenger safety in situations where emergency services are required. Using mobile phone (GSM) technology, CarCom's one-touch SOS emergency assistance function immediately connects passengers with emergency service operators. Simultaneously the system transmits a data message (via SMS) pinpointing the vehicle's exact location on digital mapping systems. This passenger safety innovation can potentially shorten emergency services response times to the scene.
