I'm going Ravelco, shock sensor and hidden GPS.

@ChemLab I may have missed this in the 26 pages of this thread, but what GPS device have you decided to go with? I'm planning the Ravelco and shock sensor for sure. Unsure about the GPS.

I ordered this one. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Great reviews and a month(ish) of battery. I may just hide it inside and run a hidden cord. But, grabbing it and charging it every 4 weeks really isn't a big deal. I'll charge it in my garage and just pop it back on. $60 on sale!

Not sure if it was posted here. Fresh TRXs recently stolen from a dealership

3 TRX was stolen today from the plant.😡

I REALLY hate thieves. 3 trucks was stolen from the plant here in Michigan. I hope it's not any of you or mine that's waiting on shipping. Messed up anyways, I feel bad for whoever they were supposed to go to. Knowing how long it takes to get them ordered.

anyone have trouble with satellite radio coming back up after a ravelco install - I've tried having Sirius refresh the signal x 2 - apparently due to battery being disconnected for the install - dealer suggested I bring I to them - any other ideas?

Nope. Everything as normal after my install

people have reported that if you disconnect the battery, the radio and other settings take a little while to come back. Since I don't have mine yet I couldn't tell you how long that may be. But I think if you give it a couple of hours it should be fine.

Complete, with labor and material (and tax, in my case). Mine was $658 out the door, not counting gratuity.

 

[Pumphry Bigelow]

I scheduled my install with Chuck today for 2/28. Looking forward to the piece of mind. FYI, Chuck gives a $50 discount for paying cash. Now all I need is for my truck to show up when it is supposed to.

I’m in SoCal,and Rich and an assistant recently did my install. All arranged and well coordinated by Sam (Samantha) in their office.

Yes Anthony; he said he did 4 TRX's before, but I guess they are not on the forum. Most people on here must be on the east coast lol.

So the guy that does installs in the Austin/ San Antonio area is a flake! Does anyone have an installer in the Houston area that they would recommend?
