The present invention relates to a system and method using a remote-control device for locating a vehicle parked in a large parking area or structure. The system includes a RF transceiver, an LED light, and a vibration module installed in the vehicle during manufacturing or retrofitted to an existing vehicle. The remote-control device is configured to connect with the vehicle and illuminate the LED light remotely in order to locate the vehicle. The remote device can also vibrate in response to the proximity of the remote device relative to the vehicle using the vibration module. The remote-control device provides the capability to display GPS location of vehicle and the remote device while also enabling an audible recording of a description of the location of the vehicle.
