Does the Navi help if TSX is stolen?
I saw a special on I think Dateline that talked about how OnStar can help track a car when stolen. Can a car with Navi be tracked if stolen? It seems like it would be possible with the GPS. Just curious.

The Navi might help the person who stole your car find his/her way around town but that is about it. Onstar is a two-way signal, that is why it helps a car get tracked. Navi reads the GPS, it doens't sent a signal out.

Right. It's like how you can see Jay Leno, but he can't see you.

Guess that's where LoJack comes to the rescue. One would think technology should be able to track the car's where-abouts on the GPS...

We have GPS receivers, not transmitters...
