Any feedback from airsupport?

All GPS devices do the same thing - Transmit GPS coordinates over a network. I recognise that you said the wireless GPS doesn't suit your needs but its not much different from a wired solution. One is wired the other has no wires....same GPS
Door opening monitoring is just a negative trigger wire that goes to the GPS. A wired system. Any car thief knows how to find that...and that wire goes to the GPS device. We developed internal sensors to monitor the same thing, only better...read on.
Are you aware that 2016 and 2017 the TTPS recorded that there where many assisted recoveries for GPS vehicles where the vehicle was not found but the devices where....btw to include the one you just mentioned.
Notable point Air Support has recovered all vehicles ever reported stolen by our clients.
Another requested function is the shut down.....this is not any technological advance feature, its not sophisticated. Its a simple 12v relay that intersect either the ignition or fuel wire. Again, known to thieves. Easy to locate and trace back to the GPS. So what you really pay for is a covert installation with not so convert hints (features) that increases your risk.
How did we at Air Support get around this?
By building a very unique and equipped response team. We have our own vehicles, weapons, operators and National Security Approval to recover vehicles. Our guys are former military starting from the owner come right down. All members of staff are required to be precepted, yes even the CSRs. So its a well constructed team.
We operate 24 hours a day, with a command centre with built in redundancies.
So our wireless devices are actually programmed for anti jamming and anti scanning. We have included a 3d IMU that allows for motion detection, like door open or window break allowing more alerts than a typical wired device.
So essentially by wasting your money on purchasing a 'typical' GPS solution, you are buying a gadget, where you can lose your vehicle" but by subscribing to Air Support Tactical you are getting serviced by a team of professionals that WILL get your car back. Its tested and proven.

Not one company in this country can say they monitor your vehicle in real time. There is no way for a provider to know the difference between you driving your vehicle, lending the vehicle or a car jacker driving your vehicle.
With our new app and push notifications you would have known the second someone entered your vehicle, even while you were in cinema.
Now, after its stolen whats next, standalone devices you are at the mercy of the TTPS and their available resources.
So its more than you have not fully been exposed to the services we offer. You speak about the panic button, are you aware of our wear safe devices? There is so much more we do other than GPS.
May I also remind you we still have a 100% success rate.
We perform a lot of R&D to improve our firmware and hardware on our devices. Not just buy off amazon like others. We have our own investigations and surveillance unit. We monitor 24/7, unlike other companies that close on holidays and weekends and the list goes on.
Then you can track your car in real time, if the car moves you see it in the app moving, no sim cards to top up no fees. There is only an annual renewal fee. So basically what you mentioned that we dont have we do.

I don't have GPS because my insurance will take care of everything. I leave nothing of importance in the car and my original insurance certificate is at home. I keep a copy with me in the glove box. Reason for this is, if the vehicle is stolen, that is 1 less hassle to worry about because a stolen vehicle with stolen insurance certificate means you will have to include that in your 2 reports and then swear an affidavit and that is too much drama in this pandemic world we living in.
I was stopped by police a few times during road exercises and presented the officer/s with my photocopied cert and a pdf copy on my phone and they did not make a fuss.
So, if my ride is stolen, I couldn't care less. I'll just make my report and start the claim process.
Years ago bandits took a new Mazda 3 from us. I went to the insurance company and provided ALL documents pronto on the same day. I even signed a transfer form and provided the spare key. In less than a month we got our cheque and simply moved on. Couple months later I saw the car but it was flashed over in a color that was not part of Mazda's pallet. I saw a more recent plate affixed and then the sunroof which was a giveaway since I don't recall any Mazda3 at the time coming with sunroof via the roro market.
So I tailed the car and contacted police. Long story short, on that afternoon officers of the SVS asked me to go through the vehicle and I was able to identify it as stolen. The vehicle was immediately impounded and I notified the insurance that the vehicle was found. I just did it for closure and for the insurance to probably sell the car and recover funds accordingly.
If you can't afford comprehensive risks then go third party fire and theft. For those who simply have sentimental attachments to the asset then I don't blame you for installing GPS.
Lastly, I've seen many installers do poor GPS installs one to the extent where they tapped into the wrong power source and the car got burnt to the ground. The insurers did an investigation and found that the problem was with the GPS install. They filed a civil claim against that company and the matter went to court.
Just be careful about who you go by to install such a device in your car.
