Default Lojack question

Had the rear carpet out this weekend and noticed the previous owner had a Lojack (Spireon?) installed, I called customer service to update owner information and was told that the VIN was never registered! I double checked the VIN but sure enough no record of it in their database. Maybe the dealer installed it and the original buyer didn't go for the upcharge? Any ideas?

Dealers put them in high end cars in case they need to repo they can find it.

If you know who the original dealer was, try checking with them.

Since you have the transmitter, call LoJack and pay to get activated, the service isn't free.

More than likely it is outdated already.

I had them twice to replace my equipment due to battery failure and then updated the system.

All I ever got when driving was voice phone call and text asking if I know where my car is right now.

Great thief deterrent system.

Yeah, every now and then they would find an expensive car in a shipping container headed for overseas
