Why electronic location systems have not been used… Privacy & Lawsuits
Sometimes a locator unit will be left in a customer’s vehicle after delivery. Banks are concerned that they may be sued after being accused of keeping track of the customers’ locations and habits. AutoMap solution: vehicles can only be located if the customer comes back to the dealership, at which point the dealer already knows that the customer is on the dealer lot. AutoMap = No privacy issue

Why electronic location systems have not been used… Infrastructure
Install antennas with base stations and wiring Software installed on company computers Vehicle installation time & mistakes AutoMap = NO INFRASTRUTURE Installation is to put unit in vehicle and turn on for 20 seconds Secure enough that the dealer can install. In less than two minutes, the vehicle will be shown on the website All software is run on web browsers, so no installation is done on any dealership computer.
14
Why electronic location systems have not been used… Battery Issues
Locator units using the vehicle’s battery are Ok if you run the vehicle every week But will drain a battery for a vehicle sitting on a lot for months Locator units with their own battery are problems because the batteries need to be changed eventually AutoMap uses a type of Bluetooth which broadcasts information under low power AutoMap modules have been re-engineered to only draw amps, which can run on a car battery for 6 years.

Why electronic location systems have not been used… Banks: Security Issues
EMULATORS Cannot trust that the system has not been hacked, so completely electronic audits are not reliable AutoMap uses a patent pending method to ensure that the signal received is that from the vehicle.
