Great way to protect ur car..but it won't stop a thief with a tow truck.. It has happened before that cars got towed away without even being opened..alarm or not"it's still gone. Get a garage at least

 

Ways around that too, its called a hidden Line lock. Or a tracker in the car works

 

Hey "blowngasket" good tip and heads up!! This is whats scared me from getting an evo for soo long, now im about to pull the trigger and i need to know how to protect my investments...never known a chassis as hot as this!!
revelco sounds like an awesome product, i'll be looking into that.
what are your thoughts on a fuel and battery cut off switches? i've always thought those are good deterents too.

 

Layer your security.
Never share it with anyone.
If they want it, they will get it.
The only device I'm aware of that has yet to be defeated is a wheel boot.
ECU removal is worthless as thieves often carry their own ECU.
Don't use a fuel pump kill switch, use a momentary contact fuel pump switch for the fuel pump. It's much safer.

 

What is a "momentary contact fuel pump switch"? and hows it different?

 

Push the button, hold it and crank the motor. Once the circuit is energized the relay holds it open until the power is cut by turning off the motor. Mount it someplace inconspicuous but convenient enough for you to reach it.

3. Profit.

 

noice!!!

 

a total battery cut is only good if you have a small battery to keep your alarm on aswell. The revelco works great, There are a load of other great things to do too, Even a alarm that sets off your phone if your car is messed with, this is one i like personaly cause ive been wanting to test and shoot my new 18.5" 12 gauge :0
Also most alarms Totally disable the starter, and most alarms give a specific voltage to a relay that is hidden and wont open for the starter unless the keyfob is pressed making it impossible to start the car, unless you know where the relay is and the correct voltage to make it work with out poppin its fuse. But all that takes time to figure out and by that time the thief is already "delt with"

Seriously thou, the theifs should be delt with in a manner such as the old arab ways, Steal and lose a hand, steal again and lose the other hand.

 

Also, a lot of cars are not even started when they are stolen so the immobilizer is pointless.

The cars are often pushed down the street to an idling flatbed tow truck.

 

hence that wheel lock thinamajig!

 

Why dont people get GPS systems? lol, all this bull**** setup, extra batteries, sirens, just get a gps. Watch your car, and go get it lol. As soon as the car moves from were you parked it, you're notified.

I dont care what alarm you get, there is nothing better then something telling you where your car is, with an update of location every 5 seconds, updated to as close as within 5 feet on a gps/smartphone/computer.

 

I don't know about you Dave, but if someone steals my car I'm not going after it.



I'll hand over the GPS tracker to law enforcement though.

 

I have a GPS, and other things and i agree the gps is prolly the best bet if all else fails.

 

You're definitely right. worth looking into. do you have any recommendations?

 

Is LoJack still around?
