Hello,

Anyone on here with the Ravelco Anti-theft device on their Gen6 Camaro? Or simply tried it out?

How exactly do you 'try it out'? I've seen them on a handful of cars that I have worked on back in the 90's, but honestly didn't know they were still in business.

Basically anyone had them on their Camaro?

At that point why not just add a kill switch?

Curious, did you ever end up going with Ravelco? I'm thinking about it on my 21 1SS, but live in Ga and would have to purchase and install it myself or find shop, no problem. They told me they would send some Camaro specific instructions once purchased. I'd be curious where the device "key" is mounted in a 6th gen. I’ve seen pics in other cars with a bracket mount so no need to cut and dash/console I suppose. I’d probably paint it black. No decision yet.

<edited> I guess this anwers my last question on mount location.

I just installed one two weeks ago. It was an easy process - couple hours after ordering online, they called to schedule installation and they were friendly in finding dates and times that worked with my schedule. After a week, their technician arrived and installed in about 2 hours. They get sent instructions upon arrival, and he asked me to confirm where and how I want it mounted (I did flush on the left side). He didn't even want me to look how he was routing the wires, and said they do it differently for each car.

Anyway, it's a nice peace of mind. I live in a nice area and garage it, but want as many layers of deterrent I can get.

Can you show us a picture of where they mounted the plug inside the car? It’s not the most attractive piece but seems effective

Isn't it just an interrupter for the fuel pump, or starter or ignition circuits, with a key? Basically a kill switch in plain view with a key?

Or am I missing something here?

Interrupter for more than just 1 circuit.
And its more of a multi point plug than a key. There is no way to look at the receiver and figure out a jumper combination. Its pretty much fool proof.
I had one installed on my Chevy SS. Have yet to do it on my Camaro. Maybe this year.

Where do you have yours done? Seems like both the local places closed shop? There any installers in Detroit?
