Does anyone here have the GPS2000 on their vehicle and can tell me about how good it is or is it not worth it?

I have had the gps2000 for about 2 years. The features are great, and I love being able to track your car from the internet. It gives you lock/unlock, horn honk, vehicle shutdown and an accessory (which I use for remote start) via phone or WWW. You can program it to notify you via phone or email for several conditions: low battery, vehicle alarm, stolen vehicle (i guess vehicle alarm while moving), vehicle at prolonged excessive speeds. You purchase "uses". and are charged a use or 2 for each of these actions. The uses are roughly $1 each depending on how many you buy, and they expire after one year. When you run out of uses, you may no longer access your account. However, you are still charged uses whether you request notification or not for some things. I was working on my alarm last night, and battery went low and I tripped my alarm while checking several times. The system charged me over 20 uses for all the notifications I didn't want. I will call Omega tomorrow, and I'm sure they will recredit my account, but it's still a pain. It's still pretty cheap compared to some of the monthly fee services, which are very expensive for the occasional user. Hope this helps, let me know if you find something better ; ). ------------- bzzzzttttt

I wish the "uses" did not expire each year. Still contemplating.

do you happen to have a copy of the installation manual? I want to move a unit from one car to another but there are no authorized dealers in my area.

did you hear not-so-good news about Omega products? I would like to know as well since I have some omega products.
I don't think the gps2000 is a remote that you have, but its a device you put in your car(or truck) and can be activated/tracked via satellite via internet. David might be able to give you more info on it.

I've had the Omega alarm and remote start and echo pager, all made by omega, including the shock sensors etc etc. No problem so far, except that my remote-start almost always starts on second attempt, but that could be my vehicle's fuel pump delay. I think the alarm by Omega is quite nice really and have had no problems iwth it other than waking up at night to see who's messing with my car!

I've used plenty of omega stuff and haven't had a lot of problems. The gps2000 is not an alarm. It is a gps accessory device. You can add it to an alarm or remote start, but you don't even need them to use it. Check out gps2000online.com for info. But, essentially you can use the phone or internet to track your vehicle or activate vehicle functions (lock/unlock, horn honk, remote start).
