For anyone interested, I started a DIY Alarm/DummyOBD/StarterLockout thread in the DIY section with demo video and parts list. It's a work in progress. It should be buildable for under $100. Hopefully I'll have a schematic up soon and some more videos. |

I mean, if everyone just pulled the fuel pump relay every time they parked the car the only way one could ever steal it - well, 2 ways - are:
1. Flatbed/tow 2. Have the properly rated and set up relay with them Since the whole automobile market has switched from mechanical fuel pumps to electric through the 1980s this seems like the best anti-theft device ever.

The damned thing is for sale on Amazon for $415, WTF!
I guess this renders the Faraday pouch useless. |

Is there a handy link that explaines the $1K fob programmer & process? It's using the OBDII port, I assume?

The way to protect yourself is getting an OBD lock, moving/hiding your OBD port, and/or killswitch with ignition or fuel pump cut off. A combination of various methods is probably best, and it's not very expensive. You'll still get your driver's side window smashed in, but at least they won't be able to steal it. Driver side windows are on nationwide backorder btw. This tells you the issue is spreading. Someone with an OBD locker has reported the thieves were not able to get past it, although they tried prying it with a screwdriver and plyers. Ultimately, the real solution would have to come from Chevrolet. This is also affecting C7 Corvettes, which are being stolen at an increasing rate. As a Camaro and C7 Corvette owner I'm not very happy... |
