SkyLINK Selected By Chase Auto Finance For Integrated Financing
Inilex, a leading provider of intelligent telemetry solutions for vehicles, today announced that Chase Auto Finance, a division of JP Morgan Chase, has approved the SkyLINK stolen vehicle recovery solution as a finance and insurance (F&I) product for which it will provide an additional advance. This means that customers purchasing vehicles can include the cost of SkyLINK into their overall financing package, making the solution more attractive to customers as well as to dealers during the F&I process.
“More and more dealers are beginning to recognize SkyLINK as the premier stolen vehicle recovery solution on the market today,” said Michael Maledon, Inilex’s CEO. “This additional product advance from Chase makes SkyLINK more accessible to more customers. ”
SkyLINK uses state-of-the-art GPS technology to give car buyers real-time theft recovery that also helps law enforcement identify and arrest thieves.
“Having SkyLINK incorporated into the customer’s buying package allows us to offer higher value solutions during the F&I process at minimal impact to the customer,” said Dora Hermann, finance director at Camelback Volkswagen, Subaru and Mazda in Arizona. “It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement for us and for customers who will gain an excellent theft-recovery solution.”
Inilex also delivers InilexGPS and InilexGPS Fleet, which are customizable platforms for large enterprise accounts to manage vehicle fleets, mitigate risk and track inventories in real time, enabling companies to connect to their mobile assets and workforces.

Mark — I agree with you in principle, but I think that nobody takes out an auto loan with the expectation of defaulting on it. So I can see a lot of “That’s not cool that they want to do that, but I’m not going to miss any payments so it won’t happen to me,” conversations at the financing table. I also think that its normal for there to be pluses and minuses to these kinds of systems. The plus? An ambulance is dispatched to my location if I’m in an accident. The minus? The lender knows where I am at all times and can use that to their advantage.
Gino – I meant to imply that GM could disable the vehicle or use OnStar to locate it and report the position to a recovery agent.
