CES New: Auto Page's C3 is OnStar for the rest of us

C3ls.jpg

Seriously, wouldn’t you say that some of OnStar’s features make you think twice about what your next car might be? How cool would it be to get some of those same features and benefits on any manufacturer’s car, with services available directly through your cell phone? Auto Page's C3 offers you just that. The list of features is quite impressive. Location of vehicle on a map with continuous tracking, geo-fence to detect vehicle movement, speed detector with alert (parents of teenage drivers should take note of this) remote start, and the always popular, door unlock. Next time you lock your keys in the car, just call the C3 service and voilà, the doors are opened. Basic plans start at just $149/year. Very cool, indeed.

I'd buy it, depending what is in the package. I have On-Star in one of my cars and I would put this in my other. Concern--Company being able to compete and make money.

I sell these things in Missouri. They are a hot product and work with out problems.

My problem with this system is that...so what if I can track my stolen car on my computer. It's the cops that need to be able to do that and if you get Lojack recovery plus its early warning system, you have that.
