Hey,

If your interested in it just have a look at this site, heaps of info.
http://www.ezitrak.com.au/siteindex.htm

Its basically a tracking and security system, it can be used for many things, even seeing where and how fast a mechanic took you car for a spin....

assuming that was you talking towards the end..... why would your mum want to disable "your" 8 if you took "your" 8 for a drive...?
doesnt make sense to me.... :D

there is a thread about this device at performance forums, under general discussions (dont know how to do a direct link )
