My insurance force me to have install a boomerang.

Did anyone have one installed? If yes, anything to report?

Thanks

Simon.

 

I know Ron Jeremy has a Boomerang II installed in his 8. There are a few other who have done it and recommend it. Do a search for it.

 

Thanks MyRxBad.

 

You know... Not knowing that there's a member here with the name "Ron Jeremy".... and knowing of the "Ron Jeremy"... That's the funniest post I've ever read here...:p

 

I've had mine since about September, since then I've had one false alarm... I was driving to work and they call me on my cell phone asking me if I knew where my car was. :p

 

But I believe that Ron Jeremy has a 9 + not just an 8

Hey Ron... have you had any more false alarms since they replaced the batteries in your unit?

 

sorry, i'm just a little curious but what is a boomerang besides the one you throw around?

 

Boomerang II is a cellular technology based tracking device installed in your vehicle. The device consists of the transmitter/receiver unit (installed in some location in your vehicle, even you won't know where) and a transponder unit you carry with you (most people hang it on their keychain).

If the vehicle is moved without the transponder unit in the car, the transmitter/receiver notifies a (boomerang) monitoring station, and somebody phones you and asks if you know where your car is. If the car is in fact being being stolen, they can track its location by triangulating its position through the cel network.

Or something like that, anyway...

 

I had my boomerang from my previous car installed in my 8 when i bought it, never had any problem. Just out of curiosity Sto, how much is you insurance costing you? i'm 44 and i'm around 1200$ with a high deductible.

 

|Insurance for my 8 (spring delivery) is $1340/year. Manitoba

I'll call and see if there are discounts for boomerang systems installed and if there are, I'll report back.

 

hey guys.. Ron Jeremy is back ...sorry about falling off the face of the earth (life of a P_star i guess). anyways, i had a few false alarms before with my BoomII soley due a low battery in the keyfob piece (could not communicate properly with the transponder mounted in the car) ...i simply changed keyfobs and voila ...everything is working fine! at least i know the unit is working (based on the calls before from Boomerang Call Center)..

...hope that helps

 

Mine for south shore MTL is 830$ with 250 $ deductible i'm 31 , few speeding tickets..
