RAVELCO Antitheft of the 21st century?

this key electronic bridge gadget is supposed to help keep the car from being stolen, they want 150 new. This gadget uses 16 wires that have to have the right combination of resistance or voltage to bypass the anti theft and engage the starter or some thing. im just going to wire a relay to the starter. custom no kits. il going to get this huge over sized relay put it in a box and have a switch key pad or finger print. something different. The autolock is breakable. so is the club.

read this about other locks out there:

http://www.ravelco.com/competition.html
http://www.ravelco.com/index.html

locks are old technology, electronic bypassing is the future. im sticking to the relay, alarm and autolock. my opinion

Ravelco isn't exactly anything new for the 21st century. Been around for years because it works & works good!

Re: RAVELCO Antitheft of the 21st century?

would unplugging a spark plug wire be anti theft related>? i gotta park outside for now on to make room for my other car that needs work. im thinking of just the ground for the batt, but not practical, i got the 85' computer, takes forever to 'learn', clearing memory eats my cat in the long run imagine. just until i get a relay for my starter.

Just ONE plug wire? No. My dad mis-plugged in my spark plug wires to the dizzy (got 2 swapped) and it ran & drove OK.

one plug wire, no, but unplugging the coil wire would.

Re: RAVELCO Antitheft of the 21st century?

i came across a post on a different site, where the guy removed the door handle, and tack welded a razor blade in the handle.. The dude was getting broken into too much or something. That guy must had nothing to lose because thats lawsuit.
