At the core of all LoJack systems is the RF (Radio Frequency) technology and recovery process. Once installed in your vehicle, the base system uses a small hidden transceiver to send a signal to police^* which allows them to track and recover it. Just file a stolen vehicle report, contact LoJack and the system is activated. Here is how it works:

INSTALLATION LoJack unit hidden in vehicle by certified technician. Registered in database.

NOTIFICATION Customer reports theft to police and LoJack.

ACTIVATION LoJack sends radio signal from tower. LoJack unit emits uniquely coded signal.

LOCATION The signal is tracked and used to locate the vehicle.

RECOVERY The vehicle is returned to the owner.

Product configurations – LoJack and its partners offer a variety of product configurations based upon the core technology. Several partners offer a product that incorporates an "early warning" feature which alerts vehicle owners of unauthorized movement. This allows the tracking and recovery process to begin sooner. Some countries also combine the LoJack system with other technologies to offer additional services. Please see individual country organisations for complete product details.

* Some territories may use a combination of police and private security organisations for vehicle tracking & recovery.
