Auto-Finder FTI-188-00010-10A Essential Kit

Auto-Finder is the perfect tool for drivers concerned about their, or a loved one's, ability to find their vehicle quickly in the event of danger, severe weather, snow, forgetfulness or confusion. A wireless system built around two componentsa??one in your car and one on your key chaina??that communicate with each other over a ?? mile range, it quickly guides users to their vehicle, whether parked underground, above ground or in a multilevel parking structure. Auto-Finder can also used for other purposes, such as to locate a campsite, backpack or bicycle, just to name a few. Simply place the beacon in whatever you will have to find in the future and let the pointer remote guide to it.

Safety and Peace of Mind in the Palm of Your Hand
Whether when traveling with a rental car or at home at the mall, sporting events or concerts, the airport or the parking lot at work, at one time or another nearly every longtime driver has experienced the embarrassment and irritation that can result from having forgotten where you parked your car, but that's not the worst of it. The Department of Justice reports 550,000 crimes are committed in parking lots annually, making wandering around looking for your car in certain situations much more than an irritation or embarrassment: It can be a safety hazard. Auto-Finder helps change this.

Auto-Finder is an ultra compact wireless system that allows the user to pinpoint his/her car at distances up to a ?? mile away, in both outdoor and indoor parking facilities. This makes it perfect for the expansive, multilevel parking situations that the modern driver faces on a daily basis. Using a blend of new functionality based in traditional radio frequency (RF) technology, Auto-Finder is made up of a simple, but very effective signal/receiver system comprised of a handheld pointer remote that attaches to your key chain and a small beacon component that is placed or mounted in your car. Both of these can send and receive radio signals to each other, are easily and exclusively synched to ensure that you will always be tracking your own car and in the event of multiple drivers of a single car, each beacon can be paired with up to five remotes. Use is easy. After activating the beacon with a push of the pointer remote button, the remote picks up a return signal that the beacon sends out and translates it into clear visual and audible prompts emitted from the remote. These indicate the direction and distance to your car and are easily followed, ensuring you get to your car as quickly as possible every time.
