TRX Stollen Auburn Hills Mi with Ravelco Update theft ring uncovered

[Air’d outSRT]

Can try but in this case it wasn't installed by an approved installer. So there is a indemnity case to be made from their end. Not saying it was but for all anyone knows, the Ravelco was installed into the kick panel fuse box and subsequently ripped out (bypass) instead of buried into the harness (takes hours to install and even longer to remove a properly installed one out), and fully covered like its supposed to be. At worst, they are liable for the cost of the equipment, which wont even cover his deductible. its a 0 cause for win and no attorney is going to take this on a consignment.

Regardless of the quality of the product, if you get security. Use an authorized dealer.

Case in point why you also need a quality alarm system. Ravelco or IGLA at that, is not the end all be all and are post attempt protection and inhibitor devices, they are not deterrents.. They should ALWAYS be used with a compustar system. Its the difference between a thief proceeding or running away with the benefit of notifying you and addl ignition/started cutout protection while armed.

Without an alarm, your truck is like anyone elses that is unprotected upon first entry attempt.

They could have a case if it was recovered and the vehicle had ravelco still fully installed and bypassed at the plug because it’s repeatedly put out that it’s impossible to bypass there

Owning a Trx is like having a bad ass wife/girlfriend that you can’t let out of your sight cause she’s subject to leave with someone else

I can tell you this was installed correctly and no short cuts were taken. Unfortunately, it’s probably not worth going after them. As the previous poster said no attorney would take it on consignment. Unfortunately today’s legal system really only benefits people with nothing to loose trying to sue large corporations (like spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing McDonalds lol).

Going at it alone no, now throw in hundreds, thousands of others and then thats a different story

I looked up their address on their website...curious about reviews. After seeing more Ravelco victims, I'm glad I didn't waste my money on that dash plug and went with IGLA, this website helped shape that decision. Ravelco "World Headquarters" is an almost 10K sq/ft mansion, I guess I assumed it would be a brick and mortar store of some sort. Sorry about your loss OP.

I see you changed your profile pic to really emulate how you feel

Edit: Don't be sad it's a good thing!!

Just had my Ravelco system removed yesterday and replaced with IGLA. I wish I would’ve done this sooner. Jon in Dallas was top notch in getting everything done for me and couldn’t be happier. I too was under the same thought that Ravelco was “undefeatable”. Just blows my mind how the company can claim “not one vehicle stolen” anymore.

How much extra was it to remove Ravelco? If @Phillytrx is removing his, I can't be the only Ravelco OG left (Well aside from Mopar. You'll have to pry the ugly plug from his cold, dead hand).

The guy putting in the igla said $100 to remove the ravelco and wiring.

That seems more than reasonable.

Not bad $1300 total and dropping it off tomorrow night.

Yup, not a bad property...paid for by lies and cheating...IMO
It would have been funny if it was not sad, but at the end everyone gets exactly what they deserve!

What do you know about OX audio?

Ryan did my install back in Nov 22. My setup has been flawless since.

It’s actually over 12,500sqft, websites haven’t been update, they are 15 miles from one of the houston IGLA dealers and have called to harass them after posting the videos.

Think they will reply and take me up on my offer?

Why? I opted to leave mine in place. I mostly leave the plug installed, but do on occasion pull it out. Give them one more thing to worry about. They see the Ravelco, they think, "easy day". They probe it, bypass it, think they're golden, but still no start. "WTF? Must have gotten the pins wrong. Lemme try again. Aw, f*** - here come the cops!" (or worse, the armed owner who looks REALLY PISSED!).

Security through obscurity... I mean - what kind of LUNATIC would have a Ravelco AND IGLA, right? Can't be...

 

[Crunch12268]

Ya'll are over thinking this...$166 bucks. Tac weld some barb wire too it and thieves will take one look and move on. Perhaps the thieves will get so confused by it's simplicity they will come to the realization they need to go back to school, get an education and invest in a start up company selling resusable tampons for men.... I mean... who knows what could happen.

I figure if I’m out somewhere and leave the plug in and someone breaks into the truck they can just take the plug with them and then I’d be stuck. I wanna ba able to use remote start again and by having the ravelco just doesn’t do it. I realize that it’s extra protection but don’t think it’s necessary to have both.

Stuck? Nah... I know the pinouts of my plug, and I always keep some wire in the toolkit. It's REALLY easy to bypass it when you know the pins, and only slightly more difficult when you don't
