      It probably only applies to people with expensive cars, newish LandRovers, or Fleet Operators but you need to change the default GPS tracker password asap, as the default is the ‘highly secure’ one of 123456.? With access to this a hacker can in many cases disable the vehicle when it is stopped or moving slowly.

        Unbelievable. How do these things get through any sort of quality check?

          Dave, bolt on after market security does not yet have a price for such an accessory. I have seen and heard this sort of thing too often in the past, we will worry about security/QOS/ customer quality concerns after we get it to undercut the other people in the market and mop up the money. Only then we will mop up the mess of the crap products.

          At least two of what were once major enterprises run on those lines are no longer running.
