Stephen, you are correct about the remote start.
If the plug is not in the engine will not start. This is all over our website and it's the only thing we do. We are very clear that the engine will not start, even with the original key! The natural extension of that is features which allow the vehicle to start will not work either. Whether it's a remote start, an app, the key, jump-starting, push starting, etc. The engine will not start.
Here's the challenge: Technology is what allows the vehicle to remote start. If you put in a technology based anti-theft device, you're vulnerable to that device eventually being hacked. The most technologically advanced devices in our lives are all vulnerable to hacking, which is why we continually need updates. Once a hack is available, your vehicle would be vulnerable until your device was updated. That problem does not exist with the Ravelco. The Ravelco is the vehicle equivalent to disconnecting your computer from the internet. The only workaround that truly works is reconnecting the wires. And thieves don't have time to do that.
I can assure you, the first time someone tries to steal your car and they can't drive off with it, you will be very happy you got the Ravelco.
And THANK YOU for your input on making Saturdays available. We are starting to open up more Saturdays so our customers don't have to do the installation during the week!
God bless you and I pray your car is never targeted by thieves!
