LoJack Installed $450?

Is LoJack worth it? Was quoted a low ball price Dealer installed in my 07 S for $450. Is it worth installing it at this or any price?

I was quoted the same amount and told it was the standard "low" price for the system. My MA said that some dealers will try to charge more for it. I didn't go for it. It's just dealer profit IMO. Would have saved me $50 a year or something on insurance.

Depends where you live , what the rip off rate is . But R56 already has safeguards built in to its system.!! car cannot be hotwired useing the old techniques. no ignition key on this system. !!

I got suckered into it, and paid a rip-off price. Now I have to carry another fob around with me.

Me too. It was on the car and the dealer wouldnt take it off. Anyway, I find it pretty useless. Ive had 2 key fobs fall apart already and I get phantom calls from lojack telling me my car has been moved. If it does actually get stolen, Im afraid Im going to just ignore the warning One time I was driving and my cell phone rang. I answered it and it was lojack telling me my car may have been moved
