Mystery LED on driver's-side floor?!

That’s an insane way of doing business as far as loses on expenses like that - to install such a device in every piece of inventory banking on the possibility a customer will want or pay for LoJack or not... maybe they get a great deal from LoJack, but LoJack separately has a price point of anywhere between $800-$1k+ depending on the amount of security the individual wants with the device.

I will say this though - for anyone looking into it, LoJack IS defintley worth the cost. In some States the owner can get a max deduction of 25% off of their annual liability cost of their auto insurance policy. In NJ, you do get the full 25% if the unit is installed. So it pays for itself if you’re keeping the car for years.

I agree - crazy to leave it in a car. They are a high volume dealer - Sansone in Woodbridge. Maybe they were getting a serious discount because they had hundreds of cars on the lot. Not sure if they do it anymore - this was in 2005.

I've had my car for six months, but I didn't notice this until today. There is a green LED basically shining through the carpet, about two or three inches below and slightly to the right of the accelerator pedal. See video (apologize for the quality/orientation...but it's good enough to prove I'm not insane.) This isn't a factory thing, is it?



Thanks...

Ask Snowden.....

It's probably the emergency beacon from Gigalonia.

Sorry, sorry... I've been really busy and didn't expect so much interest in this!

I don't see a really easy way to get at this thing, and I don't want to mess up the carpet. Does it just pull back from the center tunnel? I think I'll send the video to the dealer and ask them about it.

Sansone is the shadiest dealer I've ever had the 'pleasure' of dealing with. They were notorious for bait and switch tactics, and we actually reported them to the state.

If you financed it there are dealers who will put GPS trackers in to make it easier to repo. They will even tie them to and ignition to disable the vehicle.

It was the only time I dealt with them but they gave me a good deal, and I had no issues.
