The only 100% true Anti Theft Device? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

dmnhnters · 10-02-2015, 04:33 PM

Apparently there is a company that has been in business since 1976 and claims they have never had a single vehicle stolen with their system installed properly. Ravelco has sold more than 4 million units and have been in business for 39 years. 0 defeats. It's approximately $499.95 for all trucks & cars (suggested retail install price)

Has anyone heard about them or use them?

SO, they cant start the car, but it can still be stolen

TheHorse13 · 10-02-2015, 04:49 PM

No device can beat a tow truck. There must be a lengthy bunch of legal fine print in that claim.

CFD · 10-02-2015, 04:51 PM

They claim no car has ever been stolen "by bypassing the device" but they may have been stolen by other means.

Thats why you buy Insurance , Let them deal with it , I wouldnt waste $500 bones on it .

Another member here has bypassed one for a coworker who misplaced thier key. It can be defeated. One ZL1 in the bay has been saved by the device but when the thieves are faced with more of them they will simply either study the wiring schematic, or have thier own installed so that they can figure out a run around for it.

None stolen by "defeating" their device... hmmm, it's not like they say it was defeated by removing their device. Any thief who would be stopped by that would be stopped by a hidden switch for the fuel pump or starter linked to an accessory circuit.

I beg you to reconsider that comment xD

The electronic fuel pump, the ignition circuit, the starter circuit and even the computer are interrupted without the Revelco 16 pin key inserted. This unit prevents hot wiring, breaking the steering column, or starting the vehicle. 4 million installs, 0 defeats.

drew peacock · 10-03-2015, 02:04 AM

so what happens if a load loading truck turns up and takes it away?

lawman007 · 10-03-2015, 02:11 AM

Must be pretty good! If they tow it does that ruin the transmission and tires and brakes? Oh my...

sdynak · 10-03-2015, 07:06 AM

Hmmm... makes me wonder what % of car thefts are from hot wiring vs. tow..
