Is there any way if I were to connect this to a raspberry pi and have it in my car, and my car was stolen, could I track it?

The short answer is No. Why? Well, in order to track your car, the Raspberry Pi has to have some kind of radio link for you to track it. For example, it would need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network or a cellular network in order for you to keep track of its location remotely. You could, however, use this set-up to log your car's location and speed then download the information when you get it back to see where it went.

In theory yes, but it would require more parts than just this and the raspberry pi. The GPS module would only be able to locate itself, it would not be able to send the data over an extended distance. If you purchased a device to send information over a cell network then you might be able to do what you are trying to do.

Sure, if the raspberry pi is connected to internet, and your gps (Adafruit Ultimate GPS) is constantly reporting the location to somewhere (like a server). Now the solution you gotta come up is how you're going to connect the raspberry pi to internet, and keep the raspberry PI powered up.

Go to :camera i1000 dvr car user manuel. On the internet you will find it. I find it.

I'm not sure what a Raspberry Pi is but using this for a rearview I had a similar problem when I hooked a battery charger to the truck. I'm assuming it requires very clean power.

Sorry but the only way of verifying that is to ride beside a car. Using a GPS wouldn't be accurate. I haven't done either one.

This is not actually possible. This unit is only a detector. It detects a small shift in a magnetic field. Your car is a big enough piece of metal to make a small shift in the magnetic field. This unit then sends a signal back to the receiver. However the signal is nothing near the same frequency or complexity of car security systems. I am sure something else "deprogrammed" your cars security

Yep, that is it. It merely transmits data from your cars computer to the app. The app has the real power (which in it's current state is limited)

I suppose you could use it to find your car. It will probably not have to be attached, just leave it on the front dash.

Dear Medhat,Thanks for your question.You mean that you want put this gps tracker to another car ,right?Don't worry ,if you want to put it another ,you could change the information in the paltform.It could only do by yourself .Thanks !Best Regards,Rainbow

Connecting to a pc is only good for updating the firmware or downloading the data files, other than that, you will need to connect it to your car.

This is a really good question. What is stopping someone from stealing this device? Seriously I would never buy something like this if there isn't some sort of security lock.

@ Benjamin H.Well. I put mine inside my wife's car. Hid it in the back with the jack where I would have access to it to change out the batteries. They only last about a week, but you don't loose the data. If your covering more spaces of time. I'd erase it after each download. Otherwise it gets monotonous searching through old data. The magnet is pretty strong but I wouldn't put it under the car. At a hundred bucks I'd hate to have lost it. Is picks up the signal pretty good inside the car, maybe under the seat.Hope that helps Good luck. Just remember; you ask questions, you get answers. @ Benjamin H.Well.

The device doesn't drain the battery any more than all the other computer stuff on the car. Yes, if someone can see it if they know to check the computer port (or if the car goes in for service, the technicians plug their computer into the same port). I bought an OBDII Extension Cable from Amazon at the same time and taped over the lights on the device after I installed it. It sends the GPS data whenever it is in cell coverage. I've had it for a couple of years and he hasn't found it yet. And yes, he does cheat on me.

My son seems to think a hobby shop should be able to sell you a remote with the same MHZ, mega hertz value ( 27 MHZ or maybe 49 MHZ ) that will pair up with the Merecedes. MHZ is probably on the car somewhere.

I turned mine on and drove to my destination, turned the car off and exited leaving the camera hooked up. I found out later that it recorded for over an hour while the car was off and unoccupied.

You actually need to bypass the system, its done with a relay in the back of the car radio/dvd. You can go to youtube and look it up.

This is a mobility detector. If anybody is about 1 meter from the vehicle it will actvate your car alarm system. It is not an alarm system, it is just an additional device to the car alarm system.

It's a bit of a hack, see http://www.johannesbader.ch/2014/06/track-your-heartrate-on-raspberry-pi-with-ant/.Otherwise, best to contact Suunto customer support via their website - http://www.suunto.com.Good luck.
