GAZZUZZ:
the seats have been stripped. I should be getting them back on tuesday.

Now if I notice that shabby job, I will be left with option 2, which is to buy a set of chairs for the vehicle, I am hoping the upholstery guy comest thru on his side of the bargain.

Colour of fabric is a pass. Got the right colour, with the right pattern.
The headrests on the 2front chairs were not done. I will be installing DVD headrests on the chairs.

Sewing/stitching= below average. Hopefully may not be so noticed. Love the bodywork detailing though.

Nice work gazzuzz. Attention to details. That's how I like my jobs been done. I like the fact that you don't claim to be jack of all trade too( referring to the brands you work on).
The upholstery guy got a 7/10 from me.

Global Positioning System tracking is a method of working out exactly where something is. A GPS tracking system, for example, may be placed in a vehicle, on a cell phone, or on special GPS devices, which can either be a fixed or portable unit.  GPS works by providing information on exact location. It can also track the movement of a vehicle or person. So, for example, a GPS tracking system can be used by a company to monitor the route and progress of a delivery truck, and by parents to check on the location of their child, or even to monitor high-valued assets in transit.



A GPS tracking system uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network. This network incorporates a range of satellites that use microwave signals that are transmitted to GPS devices to give information on location, vehicle speed, time and direction. So, a GPS tracking system can potentially give both real-time and historic navigation data on any kind of journey.

http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1278363


Update: installing installing tracking device.

A tracking device is just like a phone connected to a car charger and hidden out of plane sight.

Any time you want info on where the phone is, you send a message to the line embedded in the phone, and it reports the co-ordinates to you.

That is basically how a tracker works.

There are also other interesting functions provided by tracking devices.

Disabling vehicle: vehicle can be shut down easily using the relay functions and certain commands to turn vehicle off and on.

Geo fencing: if vehicle steps out of a set zone e.g lagos state, it sends a message indicating where vehicle is, how fast it is moving, in what direction etc.

Speed warning: tracker sends a warning indicating vehicle is over a pre determined speed limit.

Battery low: if vehicle has been left for too long and main battery has gone below regular battery voltage, tracker sends a warning.

There are more awesome features, but for now that's from the top of my Head.


Contrary to popular belief, trackers can be installed personally and monitored. You do not need all the large fancy fleet monitoring outfits to do it for you, while charging you a premium every year. All you need to do is regularly keep the line in the tracker active so it is not shut down by the network.

In the trackers installed in my vehicle, I ensure I recharge with 100naira every month and place a call to the tracker. I also utilze the listen function by instructing the tracker to call my registered line.


When ever you insure a vehicle comprehensively, and the insurers know vehicle is a hot cake (thief magnet) and vehicles value is over 1m the insured usually gets a free tracking device. Sadly you get a cheap tracking device that is installed poorly. A few months down the line and the tracker disables the vehicle when it malfunctions.

The use of high quality relay system is key to avoiding failure.

I have installed a tracking device in this vehicle, but for security concerns I will not be telling you where it is installed tongue

The tracking device is a tramingo T23, and it is not set to disable fuel supply (that would be too easy) but to cause intended damage to 1 very sensitive equipment in case of theft.

Let's hope I'll never have to use it.

vehicle registration: I have contacted our ever reliable pattybf (https://www.nairaland.com/pattybf) for a change of ownership, I intend using the old plates from my toyota avensis on this vehicle.

If you are a regular road user you will understand why I do not want fresh plates.

Let me explain.

First thing the boys in black and the boys in grey look at before stopping a vehicle are the plates, plates are rolled out serially an they know fresly registered vehicles from old ones, and with shiny new plates ill be a bulls eye for the boys inblack a the boys in grey.

I will prefer to keep a low profile and reduce the time spent on explaining and showing papers.
