Truck stolen in Houston,TX

[ZTRX]

I had my TRX stole today and was lucky the RAM vehicle locator still worked. I called the Houston Police and they got to it within 20 minutes of me notifying them.

I was impressed with the Houston Police. The officer noted security cameras where the vehicle was found. He also found a blood drop where the robber cut themselves and collected it. Not sure what will come of it, but I was glad to get the truck found and their response.

No damage on the outside. Looks like they did the classic cut to the horn, broke the window, and ripped up the driver floor side pannel to access what I guess is part of the computer system. They also pulled off the top of the fuse box.

I couldn’t get the truck to start so we had to tow it to the dealership….

No ravelco?

No - all factory…

 

[BigRed]

But I will become very familiar with that system now…

Any other additional alarm system suggestions?

 

[SpookyRex]

Igla

I would go for IGLA (instead of Ravelco) if you want to keep remote start

 

[BigRed]

Thanks

They pulled the top off the fuse box under the hood?

Sounds like these guys had done their research, and planned for all contingencies.

They have multiple products. Is there one you would recommend?

I would go ravelco. IGLA can be defeated electronically

I do not know much about their different products. I just know about what most people on here have been getting.

Is there proof to this ?

Man this fucking infuriates me. Mine was stolen 3 weeks ago in Washington D.C.
I’m so sorry brother, I feel every single bit of your pain.

Did your insurance give you good $$$ for your loss?

Yes

 

[TC247]

Yes

Where is it then ? I have the IGLA system so I’d like to know.

It uses the can-bus system. Saw a video, guy with a computer tapped into it and was able to override it in a few minutes. I'm sure if you search for it you can find it

Any security system can be defeated. Ravelco included. It just takes the right knowledge and time.

Show me proof a Ravelco can be defeated.

You contradict yourself. Post videos of either being defeated, otherwise just keep quiet.

Absolutely nobody says it cannot be. If you know what you are doing and have an hour it can be undone just like it was originally done. The point of getting one is to make it a pain in the ass and very difficult (which it accomplishes) so they pass. You're dumb if you think the guy who installed it isn't capable of uninstalling it
