Guidepoint today launched a new service that lets drivers track and control their vehicles with a cell phone, BlackBerry or other Web-enabled wireless device.

The Pontiac, Mich.-based telematics supplier said it has created a wireless access protocol (WAP) version of Guidepoint that allows subscribers to track their vehicle, unlock doors, start the engine and honk the horn with a wireless device or cell phone. The new service, which is standard with several of Guidepoint's annual service plans, allows users to log onto the Guidepoint website (http://www.guidepointsystems.com/ ) to access the services with the push of a button. The vehicle tracking service displays a map pinpointing the vehicle location, as well as a text readout of the street address where the vehicle is located.

Guidepoint is a stolen vehicle recovery, driver safety and convenience product sold through finance departments at more than 500 new-car dealerships throughout the United States and Mexico. Developed with Cingular and other industry leaders, Guidepoint's digital technology operates on the Cingular(R) Wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE network in the U.S. and internationally through roaming agreements.
