If he's replying to me then he should have read what I said. I've been pretty clear what I'm talking about. Enhancement was brought up multiple times. If he's not speaking in reference to what I have said then don't @ me.
Ahh good ol’ chuck came up with that “we can bypass IGLA but we won’t” tactic. They are down over 20% in sales this year and are trying to pay for the 12,400sqft house they now live in. I will have my hands on this “enhancement” soon enough.
I do have a question and concern, you mentioned you got this upgrade, enhancement or whatever they are calling it. Did they actually do anything or just take your money. I am not stirring the pot, I am genuinely curious because someone I know called a higher volume ravelco dealer who knew nothing about it and thus called the owner himself who said he had no clue what he was talking about, none have been stolen so why would they add anything. Either the other installers know its bypassed very easily and fast and decided to mask the ground with a resistor or they are blowing smoke and taking peoples money. You can private message if you prefer. I can’t get my hands on something that Jimmy himselF said doesn’t exist.
The lady I spoke to at Ravelco was Samantha. The truck was in the shop getting some work done at the time so the installer did a callout to there. I wasn't there to watch the whole time but he did something. He spent a few hours under the hood. He mentioned it was taking longer than usual because I had a distrubution plate from NHOverland for my aux switches and Switchpros blocking where he needed to get to.
Ok, let me dig further. I have a feeling I know what they did or are attempting to do and seems like the ravelvo headquarters and owner himself are unaware. The installers know it is easily bypassed (have confirmed by multiple sources and seen the conversations but of course the main individuals will not openly confirm due to legal ramifications.) It is probably just a few bigger installers adding this to keep them installing and give a false sense of security yet again.
I will be the first to admit, I am an asshole, hard pill to swallow but won’t lie to you, Ravelco on the other hand is outright ridiculous. Apparently its fake, can’t be done, staged, blah blah blah.

Apparently you got nothing done because it can’t be bypassed.
. I have the receipt lying around somewhere. I remember it being California Ravelco. I don't know if that makes a difference
Apparently it is being done by rogue dealers who know it is bypassed and are trying to save their jobs. If you want to get it replaced for an IGLA message me, I will make it worth it or can walk you through a few tests, again, will pay you for your time. You can say no, its totally fine. I just want to prove to ravelco it is actually being done snd the reason why.Lol
Thanks! I already have an IGLA though. I have both systems. Rebate? Lol.
I will message you and rebate by sending you some money for your time.
Yeah…Cats

His comment is geared towards “I have ravelco, they tried and failed and kindly replaced the cap on it. No trx’s have been stolen that didn’t leave the cap in” or atleast thats how it reads even though one was bypassed and stolen on camera. Odd really… with all the bad press ravelco gets nobody in their right mind will come here and say “I have (had) ravelco and they bypassed and stole it even though hundreds of posts warned me, videos warned me and my own conscious warned me” but hey, what do I know, according to the hilarious emails from them, we faked those videos and the “enhancement” isn’t being done. Of course I replied and laughed at their fix that makes it easier and faster to bypass.I'm a little lost on this one. Maybe too much turkey and I'm not reading right. There was a "dust cover" over the Ravelco plug? The would be thieves pulled the dust cover off but failed to bypass it. Maybe thats when shock sensor was triggered. Then they kindly put the cover back over the plug before making their way on to the next victim? If that's the case how do you know the cover was ever taken off? I'm glad the truck wasn't taken like the rest. I'm just a little confused about the chain of events
Not your fault...
Has nothing to do with it. The fact that your fob still works means the thieves didn't get far enough to erase the existing keys in your RF Hub, which Ravelco can do nothing to prevent. Hence the "glad your fob still works". But read on...
THIS is why nothing got erased, why your fob still works, and at least partly why your truck is still with you (though these thieves sound dumb enough whereby Ravelco would have prevented them from starting it even once they programmed a new key)
Yeah... I'm thinking not. I think you LEFT the cover on the receptacle (the PLUG is what you remove and put on your keyring). The reason nothing inside was touched is because they never GOT all the way inside. Breaking the rear glass would most likely not set off a shock sensor (assuming you mean an Add-a-shock sensor, the one you strap underneath your instrument panel, and wire into the door ajar switch). BUT - once they started shimmying their way through the window, that was enough to trip the shock sensor, and they hauled ass out of there. Unless you want to amend your story with evidence that they were actually inside the cab (headlight switch pulled off, CAN bus hub hanging out of the dash, infotainment screen pulled off, etc.)
