SWAT vehicle tracking

[ganooch]

Anyone know what SWAT is? Seems like a lojoack type of device. My dealer installed one, but I don't have any information on how it works. Seem legit, or no? Maybe something Ford puts in to recover the vehicle if the loan is defaulted on? I didn't even finance through Ford...

I wouldn't have an aftermarket tracking device. I would make the dealer remove it. Ford Pass can track your vehicle.

That's what I am thinking. Just trying to figure out if there is a legit reason to keep it.

Not legit. It’s a dealer installed device to recover thefts and repossess vehicles.

Disconnecting the Ford connect services is usually the first thing carjackers do - so wouldn’t rely on it for recovery purposes.

Lol, they charged me for it too!

Often put on vehicles of buyers with poor credit and way they can track you. Paying for it was same as ADM IMHO.

Five dollars get you a couple of lojack stickers off of eBay…That’ll be more effective

Just a dealer add on so they can mark it up. Same concept with silly vin sticker some put all over the dang truck, locking lugs etc.

I 100% agree with you. But I am more likely to accept something like that from a dealer that doesn't otherwise have an ADM. Yeah, I'll pay $500 for your stupid add on if you are otherwise selling at MSRP.
