    Anyone using this? I just got mine a week ago. I can lock down my vehicle, ABS locks all 4 wheels, bricks the gas pedal, light show, horn blares, carjack mode.

    Also can set the vehicle to start in any driving mode, instead of pushing a button every time. I like mine in Custom.

    You can set many different transmission modes, engine modes, turn Eco mode off.

    Lots of features, see more here, it is actually better for base model cars, the Youtube guy in R/T Life unlocked a bunch of features in his 5.7 Charger.

    Looks like a good anti-theft device. I use the Ravelco on my 2009 SRT.

    I've got one. I like it. I don't use a lot of the features, actually. I've got a 1320 scat pack, so drive modes are pretty much useless for me. I've got drag mode and normal mode. Mostly, I use it these days for the key lock anti theft feature and I've got carjack mode on. When I'm racing, I'll use the race cooldown feature on occasion. Still, a worthwhile tool to have.

    DOES THE ANTI THEFT WORK WITH OR WITHOUT THE OBD BEING PLUGGED IN? IE: BRAKE LOCK, GAS PEDAL KILL, ETC.

    I got one for my Jeep Gladiator. Was thinking of using it on my Chally too.

    No, it does have to be plugged in for that. I got the "double bypass", which allows you to remotely mount the unit in your trunk instead of under the dash.

    The bypass is plugged into the OBD with an extension to the trunk?
    Wouldn't a good thief check the OBD before anything else and just unplug it.
    I like the concept but am skeptical of the application.

    I am pretty sure it holds the settings, but mine is in the Trunk on a second double bypass OBD port. Seeing you joined in 2015, I assume your car is older than 2018? I am not sure you can add the second port, best to ask the seller the questions.

    There is a harness in the trunk where you plug in, so the front OBD is not used for that purpose.

    No. You wire in the bypass inside the trunk. Make connections in the fuse box back there and another connection point to factory wiring. It's all contained in the trunk. Not like an extension cord, which is like what you're thinking. RacerX did a video on the install, check it out.
