They got best or innovations award for 2008 at CES for creating the technoligy behind 10 year old Onstar system? Is this a joke? set the bar pretty low for 2009.

It does quite a few more things than Onstar...
1. It sends your cellphone an SMS and emails you when the alarm goes off.
2. If the car is stolen without the alarm going off, it will send SMS and email as soon as it leaves a 1km radius around the original location.
3. If GPS is unavailable (covered garage) then it can triangulate location from GSM towers.
4. You can check the location by logging onto the website.
Viper had an alarm like this a few years ago, and so did MicroTrakGPS. Unfortunately, Viper's marketing didn't push the alarm so not many people new about it and it never sold well. MicroTrakGPS is still around (they advertise in SkyMall) but don't seem to be doing too well.
I just wish it could email you a picture of the driver via a hidden microcam...

If the SMS thing is not an Ontar option it would be easy to add. There's nothing innovative about this package. I would say for what you get it is a decent price though, you'd probably spend $1500 to get the same features over three different packages.
