LoJack installation for Carmeleon insurance - suggest a dealer

[Wolfique]

Greetings, community!

I need to install LoJack to fulfil some insurance requirements from Carmeleon:

In aanvulling op de voorwaarden die voor deze verzekering van toepassing zijn geldt voor de Tesla Model 3 met kenteken XXX-XXX dat, indien het voertuig is voorzien van een werkend Tesla fabrieksalarm in combinatie met een peilzender VLU7 van LoJack® of een MI9 peilzender van Moving Intelligence, het voertuig voldoet aan de Categorie die voor het verzekerde voertuig vereist is.

Now, sadly, Carmeleon does not have a partnership with LoJack for some reason (they do partner with Moving Intelligence): LoJack Benelux - aanschaffen
So I have to either go directly to LoJack (with higher costs) or to one of LoJack dealers.

What's your experience with dealers? Going to call for a quote but wanted to check with the wider community as well. What did you do?

Oh well, apparently all companies that are dealers on the LoJack website have the same rates as LoJack directly. They seem to capture customer orders and provide garages for the installation.

you should compare carmeleon with insuremytesla. nl which has no lojack requirement

LoJack for a Tesla seems like a rip-off for me.

For one, Tesla's are seldom stolen. In the off-chance they are, a LoJack is dependent on GPS localisation, and sending that localisation out on 164,1750Mhz for a LoJack receiver to receive. If no GPS coordinates are available, a LoJack receiver needs to triangulate the location of the stolen vehicle by classic means, meaning 4 antenna's on the roof and driving around in the area of the stolen car. If the stolen car is however locked in a metal garage, a container or the thief has set up a signal jammer, the car's signals don't get out.

Bottom line: if an amateur steals your Tesla, chances are the Tesla app will be sufficient to track your stolen car down. If a pro steals your Tesla, it's gone.

I just made an appointment on the lojack website, they called me for confirming the appointment and a tech arrived at my house to install it, 20 minutes and done.
It is a bit expensive but with ANWB I have a much better price, so the cost of the hardware + 3 years subscription is recovered in just a year.
