#1 Stolen Truck In The US… SILVERADO

[@jdgarage85]

As a owner of a 20 Silverado I thank you for bringing this to light! Crazy stuff

[@patblack9641]

Basic way to protect your truck: pull the fuel pump rely fuse. Most ppl don’t just carry random fuses

[@hoodlumcorp]

They can use a relay fuse right next to it that’s not important like windshield wipers or something

[@forklift385]

As an ex installer you can do a few things. You can install an OBD "Y" adapter and hide that device higher up under the dash. You can also install a kill switch on the OBDport so they cant immediately program a new key, and install a lockable cover on the old port

[@firebirdlover4460]

My 2006 Silverado was stolen. I now have a 2016 4x4 Silverado 2500HD that I would rather not get stolen. It's heartbeaking to have your truck stolen...

[@gmanthejeepman]

Okay hear me out. Hidden/tucked GPS. And a discrete kill switch.

[@johnharrison5656]

That sounds like a a great idea for the average scumbag, but the higher end thieves know how to remove them without activating them

[@bigdoba317]

You could instal a manual interrupt wired in anywhere in the vehicle ignition harness and would take a thief hours to find - if ever. I’ve installed alarms and antitheft devices for years; the way to combat high end theft equipment is to do simple manual methods on top of the factory antitheft.

[@ChuckUFarley-]

I have an apple air tag hidden in my Hayabusa and my new Silverado RST. They'll never find it or disable it. It notifies me if my vehicles move without me, and it gives me their locations 24/7.

[@raulc7293]

Is the Apple AirTag good on movements? Like does it notify you as it’s happening or does it take a while for It to give you the exact location

[@ChuckUFarley-]

I'm not sure on how responsive it is. Also, it uses the apple network, so it uses other apple devices in the area to track.@@raulc7293

[@Cajun-Commando]

@@raulc7293It doesn’t notify you if it moves. It’ll only notify you on location if it can be detected by another iPhone and will send you a notification if you leave it behind.

[@hoodlumcorp]

I heard it needs Bluetooth from iPhones to work. So if they take it to an area with no iPhones then you may not get update location. AirTags also beep. You have to remove speaker from them.

[@ChuckUFarley-]

@@hoodlumcorp It's still a cheap easy way to keep track of your truck and see if it moves. It will notify you right away if it moves. I didn't say it was the perfect solution. def MUCH cheaper and easier than alarm/gps options.

[@hcut2k4]

This was just a paid commercial for a sub par product. So many more effective ways to secure your vehicles.

[@imnotabiologist1909]

You got me with the title, but on a real note, I live in the area and if I ever need to keep an eye out for your vehicles I certainly will!

[@revenge5049]

GM has something similar to that. You can get it installed from the dealer. They install a tracker in your truck or car and they don’t tell you or anybody where they put it. So if they break in and take it, it will track it down too it’s specific location. It’s not like the onstar where it’s just behind the rear view mirror

[@Kylewraps]

How much is it? I have a 2014 Silverado

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

Guys that broke into my daughters garage worked at diff dealers in same auto mall, they targeted her because her hellcat, gt500, and zl1...can even trust those folks. They destroyed her front gate, to get to garage doors, and destroyed those splitting the garage door panels and using a winch to pull them off.

[@Kylewraps]

@@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy did they successfully steal the car(s) tho?

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

@@Kylewraps they got the chally and trackhawk started quickly/easily. They got distracted with other stuff in the garage they wanted to steal. One guys family tried suing, they lost, she sued back, and won lol. Now theyve been investigating the dealers the guys worked at. Their social spheres. Etc

[@Kylewraps]

@@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy idk what a chally is and I’m assuming you said they both got caught and one got sued?

[@OVHabitats]

I just checked it out. For about $60 I got the gadget and the remote install kit which is a port with a hot wire and ground you can put almost anywhere in your vehicle. Cheap at twice the price. Good find!

[@chiptheforger9545]

Another easy way is to remove Al the fuses that require the car to start

[@NXT_LVL]

Easiest way to stop them; single or double hidden kill switch (DONT SHOW PEOPLE!!!) or have a pre-smog car, manual transmission (or better yet 3 on the tree), open headers, carburetor aka something that hates to start cold... basically something that makes them stick out like a sore thumb. NOW, Magnuson Superchargers had their Prototype Camaro stolen a year or so ago, with someone actually driving it in the day time with a tied up hoodie.

[@mikeh4053]

good insurance policy is easiest.

[@mr_diddlz001]

This a reason why whenever I do lock my truck I press the button on the handle. Because they can’t high jack the signal if you don’t use the fob

[@stebevs]

They make obd2 splitters that allow you to have 2 obd2 ports on the same vehicle. Would be worth routing one up further under the dash with this plugged into it. If thieves can't see it they won't know to unplug it.

[@JohnSmith-ot9sc]

Although it is a shame it's come to this wouldn't a hidden battery disconnect be a better option?

[@EdMiF]

One of my current vehicles allows me to touch the sensor on the door handle to lock it, I never use the fob to lock or unlock.

[@bluephoenix383]

Hidden device is the best also some way to disable the starter and fuel pump

[@pierrewhite5199]

I use a GPS tracker that does the same and it can be installed anywhere not just plugged in to OBD2 Port

[@johnharrison712]

Yeah this technology been around for awhile, Honestly I wouldn't pay for Carlock because its so easy. As a Cyber Security Enginner/Programmer I can do anything I want to a BCM. I even reprogrammed my 2021 GMC Sierra to be completely unlock to do anything I want to do with the Truck and GM has even called me asking how I did it. Also what I would do is disconnect the battery because that will remove all alarm/codes, look at all OBD2 ports and onstars and remove it.

[@johnharrison712]

Also what I do in both of my cars is under my backseats, under the carpet I have a Tracker that I put in. So you have to know its back in the car or under neat something that is not in a normal place.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

What suggestions do you have to keep the trucks from being stolen?

[@johnharrison712]

@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 Honestly there is nothing that will prevent it, what I did was I put in a tracker underneath carpet or somewhere that is not in a normal spot to look for. But if theft wants it, they will get it and it will only be minutes on taking stuff off, since Powertools are so easy to get these days I can take off my tires in about 30seconds due to my Impact gun I have. So if they want it badly they will get it.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

​@John Harrison, I should rephrase. Other than maybe removing the fuel pump relay or something else, maybe parking in the garage is the best bet.

[@johnharrison712]

@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 So I used to work at the University and so many cars got taken that was under the parking garage and students and staff was paying like 1500 a year for it.

[@RonCrumbaker]

You should test if it will pick up if someone is trying to get your Catalytic convertor. The vibrations might cause it to trigger.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Cutting a cat off definitely would trigger the vibration sensor

[@zachattackcustoms]

I catch someone stealing my truck they will be in front of a judge and not the one in the courtroom! Lol

[@pukaman1]

I would rather have a huge alarm on the truck when the car is broken into which might cause them to leave

[@pat14lang]

I came across a guy who had his Horn Blasters train horn kit wired into his alarm…

[@Michael_demon]

Layers are always nice, this plus a loud on vehicle alarm, plus a kill switch located in a discreet location and they wont be driving off with your vehicle

[@zragevii4705]

For alot of these newer attacks, alarm wont mean anything. Thieves suck

[@Michael_demon]

@@zragevii4705 hence multiple layers of security, some layers may not work, but the more layers the better chance of thwarting attacks

[@nunyabisnus5479]

So does Carlock charge a fee to monitor the gpa tracker or is that all included when you buy it?

Just got my today and used the promo code you provided. Thanks

[@firebirdlover4460]

My company has us install GPS devices on our fleet vans(Chevy 2500s). We had to put a Y adapter on the OBD2 port that added a second port which we tucked up behind the radio or anywhere, really. You would never know it was there. I wonder if this would work with that setup?

[@Shogun103]

Thanks for posting the video. I own a 2003 Chevy 1500 HD and someone has attempted to steal my truck twice in 12 months. Both times they tried to punch the ignition but failed to start the truck. No alarm or disabling device was installed at the time of the attempted thefts. I was lucky and I now have an ignition disabling device installed.

[@051joe]

Bro! I was gasping thinking someone stole the OG! Don’t scare me like that!

[@WildTurkey707]

Throttle controllers work great for this as well. Before you get out of the vehicle connect to the throttle controller via bluetooth and just turn your throttle off on the app on your phone, when you get back in turn the throttle back on via the app. So even if they have your actual fob they can't drive off because throttle literally does nothing. With the bluetooth and app option and no head unit for the actual controller there is no way I know of for them to even know you have one and why the vehicle won't move.

[@sigbksddbd987edfni]

Park in the garage and have full coverage about all you can do if someone really wants your stuff there going to take it.

[@briha3142]

Seems that a simple $5 toggle On/Off switch wired into the ignition switch fuel pump wire, would be a better and cheaper alternative, as turning it to ‘Off’ when you park, will prevent the motor from starting! Hide the switch too, so the thief wont find it! You MUST turn it to ‘Off’ whenever you park it, so it will never start!

[@davncingilbert6662]

I didn't hear anything about the device preventing someone from starting/driving the truck, which makes the device essentially an Apple Air tag that can only be "hidden" in one spot: The OBD2 port. Any experienced car thief would pull that thing out, leave it in the dirt, and leave you with an annoying alarm in your pocket, but no truck. (The cops aren't likely to find it before the thieves "cool it off". If an anti-theft device doesn't prevent the vehicle from moving, it's useless. At the very least, it should force them to need a tow truck. A hidden starter kill would do more than this device. (perhaps use both)

[@khemchee4685]

my 2017 SS was stolen from my driveway. I left it outside for 2 nights because I was working on my other car. The only good thing is insurance paid me for the car than what I paid for it at the dealer. Your device is stupid is not going to save your vehicle. Im going back to old school with a hidden fuel kill switch and aftermarket alarm with separate back up battery.

Crazy seeing this now. Just awhile ago I saw a female casing out my truck in a big lots parking lot. As all the cars passed her, no one thought it was odd she got out her pearl white car to look around my truck and in the windows.

They had a 38spl and a 9mm pstl, she came into her garage seeing them grouped around the red eye, firearms in hand. They wanted to steal her small tool cart, her fishing equipment, and her sorinex cross fit stuff...her power tools... My daughters also a Marine Veteran haha, she came into her garage after hearing loud noises expecting to maybe be a bear trying to get into garage due to smell from freezers, nope...thieves. She had her AK rfl in hand and as soon as they aimed their handguns, she mag dumped. All but one expired on way to hospital, survivor needs around the clock care, and poops in a bag. karma...

So, yeah, my 2022 2500 Z71 was stolen in Harris County, Texas, where the sheriffs department commented, "There are 134 vehicles stolen every single day in this county! We simply do not have the manpower to investigate them, so we don't!".... Maybe that is why there are 134 a day stolen in Harris County! If you don't investigate, arrest, and convict, then it is not a crime! It is a business plan! Now, they don't take them strait to a chop shop! They take it to some neutral place where they can watch to see if someone is tracking it by means they cannot detect... In my case, an apartment complex eight miles from mine... and leave it where they can watch it. When the sheriffs department license plate scanner found mine, it was parked with nine other stolen vehicles! Worse still, I watched on the video from that apartment complex as the idiot got out of my truck and walked over to his own apartment! This would not have been a difficult case to crack, but they don't investigate.... Now, on my truck, instead of ripping off the onstar antenna, which is visible from outside, they ripped out the onstar computer... and damaged the fiber optic cable that was attached to it... made of "unobtainium". It took GM a year to have a new harness fabricated and in my truck, during which time they spent $70,000 keeping me in a like rental vehicle. The real crime is that I fix fiber optic cables for Boeing Aircraft... I have EVERY license available in this country to repair these, and it was a fifteen minute job! GM, however, has no one licensed to repair these, so they decided it had to be replaced or it would void the warranty! Silver lining??? I now drive a 2022 Chevy Silverado Z71 2500 Crew Cab Long Bed with only 8k miles on it!
