2018 Tahoe Stolen

[HiHoeSilver]

Jay, I'm really glad you posted this. until researching your post on revelco, I've never heard about them. I'm enough of a believer now to put my money on the table and have one installed. Ravelco Mobile install team arrives Monday to do the work. Will report back to all my thoughts after install. Stay tuned....

Awesome. I think this is an outstanding idea. I am what some might call "skilled" in engineering like this, and if I saw/understood this device as a thief, I'd walk. Keep us posted.

Which edition?

I would like an automatic kill switch that activates if someone drives outside of a specified range from the key fob. That would be the cleanest solution imo.

As promised, here's an update:
Chuck Whigham came to my house to install the Ravelco Anti-theft device today. Not only is he a consumate professional, the installation is such that you cannot tell where it went into the vehicle. I peered over his shoulder a couple of times and still could not tell where the items were inserted. It's that good of an installation. I'd take pictures, but there's nothing to show. The only thing visible is the female key fob adapter to plug in the mating key so the auto can be started. Nothing needed to be reset on the XL, save for driving it a 1/2 mile so the compass and TPS systems would come back online. Now, if you LOVE your remote starting capability, you will be sad, as you lose it. I did love it and will miss it, but I'd miss my truck more if it were stolen.

For those of you in the NE who are interested in an installation, Chuck can be reached via:

he took approx 6 hours in my driveway non-stop to do the professional install and immaculately cleaned up after himself. I don't often recommend services, but I wholeheartedly recommend his services.

Come to Eugene, Or. and I will show you nasty people and lots of drug use.

That wouldn’t change a lick of what I said.

Serious question. Why do you want your vehicle back? Just take the insurance $$ and buy a new rig. Good riddance.

Need A dummy OBD port with power only and fake wires


OR you can order some of those big HYBRID badges and put them on

I literally just did this to mine the other day . Its a shame we have to go through all these measure to keep the poor ass thieves away

well at least gm updated the security, before anybody (any shop worker) could get a key cut and do a quick relearn on your vehicle, then come and steal it whenever they wanted now you have two have 2 working keys to do it

In my previous life I worked for a Rental car company, I used to go get keys cut for the nicest new cars and then come back after work and go cruise them around all night and bring them back in the morning, I could have stolen the whole lot if I had wanted to.
