TEMPE, Ariz. & NEW ORLEANS --(Business Wire)-- Jan 22, 2009 Inilex Inc., a leading provider of intelligent telemetry solutions, is announcing at the NADA 2009 Convention and Expo that it will provide Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicle owners with its GPS-based SmartAlert™ SVR (Stolen Vehicle Recovery) and SmartAlert™ Advantage products.

Inilex’s SmartAlert products provide nationwide online vehicle tracking and security features and are available as dealer-installed licensed accessory items for both new and used vehicles at Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealerships nationwide. These new SmartAlert products offer a more comprehensive suite of safety and security features, including:

SmartAlert SVR

  • GPS/cellular technology

SmartAlert Advantage

All SmartAlert SVR features, plus:

In 2007 alone, there were about one million motor vehicle thefts in the United States, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Auto theft and recovery is a clear problem and Inilex and Ford have joined together to help protect Ford’s valued customers,” said Scott Ferguson, chief executive officer of Inilex. “These new SmartAlert products represent the most advanced technology, making it convenient and reliable for Ford vehicle owners to locate their vehicle from virtually anywhere.”

By utilizing the latest GPS and cellular technology, SmartAlert is able to provide extremely accurate location information which is often not available through other radio frequency based products. Law enforcement agencies benefit from this GPS and cellular technology by having pinpoint information that does not require special tracking equipment. SmartAlert is complementary to Ford’s SYNC® system which already provides many in-vehicle features.
