This looks like a solid solution. How was the installation? Did you do it yourself?
DefinitelyProbably okay if the rig is going to be parked somewhere unsafe, or unobserved, for an extended period of time.
Newbie to this - what’s a brief description of how this wrks?
They came to my house and installed it, very easy. The installation is clean. It looks like factory under the hood. Took him about 2.5 hrsThis looks like a solid solution. How was the installation? Did you do it yourself?

GotchaThink of it like a multi kill switch... 16 wires coming out the back thru a steel conduit, past the fire wall. Then they go to 8 different points, no idea where...
Before you start the ignition, you plug in the connector, and it completes all the connections and then the car can start. Each plug is unique so they aren't interchangeable

Thank you for sharing...checked-out their website. Ingenious. Impressive history on their website: Zero stolen vehicles...millions of installs (commercial + non-commercial)...over a 40-year period...

Probably right. Sad.Yeah, unfortunately this truck is already on a container headed for Africa, Saudi Arabia or Asia. Never to be seen again.
Not sad at all, had you read the post .......... it was recovered, he has possession, it had some electrical wire damage and he has started the fixProbably right. Sad.
It really sucks dirty pond water that your LC is gone @bgeorger.

Years ago, a common way to get into locked cars was to buy some type of scanner on eBay, that would scan for RF signals, copy them, and allow the user to gain entry into locked cars.
The background.. for decades, remote locks for automobiles would transmit the signal to the car to lock the car as you walked away, pushing the lock button. The car would remember that signal, and when you returned to the car, the fob would use the exact signal frequency to unlock the car, kinda a digital handshake. The next time that you got out of the car, the remote would have changed the frequency, and when you push the lock button as you walk away, a new signal would be transmitted. Upon returning to your car, your remote would use the same signal to open the car. Rinse and repeat.
This made it easy for people with those little scanners to hack your car door locks by intercepting YOUR key fob signal as you walk away from your car and push the lock button on your remote. Then they use the captured signal to clone the same one on there device, easily gaining entry into your car. The take home message, NEVER use your remote to lock you car when out and about. Always lock your car door using the button on the inside of your car. Only upon returning, should you use your remote to unlock your doors. Get in, lock your doors behind you with the button on the inside of your car, and drive away. I bought both of my daughter’s iPods fifteen years ago while they were in college. Their Honda Accord was “broken in to” when they were visiting a local park in Charleston, SC. They even told me that they saw some shady characters driving around the parking lot, getting close to them, before they exited the car. The shady characters stole their iPods as well as other things when they locked up the car and made their way to the picnic.
There are several videos on YouTube showing how to turn off your key fob so that it does not continually transmit the signal to open your doors. When our fobs are hanging on the key rack just inside our front or back door, ANYONE with the technology can intercept and clone the signal. Some people think that turning off your key fob will prevent theft. I don’t know for sure. I am probably going to install a 12 volt on/off switch somewhere in MIss Daisy.
I figured they're better than nothing. Are there any other solutions you can recommend?Yeah, I saw all those also. It's all made by ilga and it's an Russian company, I don't trust them, likely all just bad propaganda they're putting out
I can't think of a single modern product that Russia made that's worth buying... just saying...
You can see some of those ilga ravelco videos only have 5 wires connected which isn't true
Ravelco is an American company based on simple kill switch ideas, sure, it could be bypassed, but its gonna take time a really long time, and doubt they want to deal with that headache
