Know where your Elio is all the time...................with the Elio microchip option. Find it if it's stolen and or your spouse/kids take it........................for a joy ride.
I did try to look this up but what I found was microchips intended for instruments or identity. :-) Z

Interesting question. Not a microchip such as you put in a pet but if they can find a stolen iPhone with the proper app then a dumbed-down device could be hidden and used to locate the vehicle. Maybe such a device already exists. If not, the concept seems like it would be a popular add-on to any vehicle.

I'm partial to MagnaVolt myself.



Welcome aboard the Elio train to the future of simple, personal transportation!

We all share and feed off of each other's dreams. Most of our dreams are identical, duplicates of others thoughts and dreams, but rarely does a day pass without some new twist on a dream that none of us have ever heard. . . . . Guess what I'm trying to say Akagi, is, jump in. Share what's on your mind. . . . . .and read. READ the threads and learn. Form lasting bonds with other Elio "family" members here and time will fly.

Our Elio's are 24 hours closer each new day with the rising of the sun!

Welcome from the Bayou State, Louisiana, and the future birth place of Paul Elio's new little Elio! :D

Are we talking Lo-jack?

Maybe a LoJack clone that employs today's technology? Cheaper to go the iPhone route! :)

"The one-time cost for a LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System is $695. An Early Warning Upgrade which notifies you if your car is moved without your authorization, is available for an additional cost of $300."

Dude! That's almost grand! ($1K aka $995) That'll be more than my deductible; It's 15% of replacement cost; AND I didn't hear any mention of a tee shirt & bumper sticker!

Here's my theft deterrent :

Since the Elio doesn't have a back window, thus no where to put a custom "gun rack", the "Trunk Monkey" seams to be the logical solution, since he comes WITH his own shotgun! :cool: :D
