With Lojack car alarms, the vehicle has up to 20 small radio frequencies transmitters installed in the vehicle.

Each vehicle’s transmitters are programmed with a code specific to the vehicle’s vehicle identification number and when the VIN number is entered into the police computer as stolen, the radio frequency transmitters are automatically activated and emit an inaudible signal, picked up by Lojack car alarms receivers in police cruisers.

Working similarly to a GPS system, the police units can pinpoint the location of the stolen vehicle and affect a rapid recovery.

The Lojack car alarms’ receivers in the police vehicles are constantly listening for a signal and once activated, they signal the police that a stolen car has been located and give them the location.
