Getting it installed next week. I'll share how it goes.

Had one installed a couple of months ago. Works as advertised. No issues. Installer was professional. Very happy that I got it.
 
Been using mine for over a year, first in last out, formed a practice. Stopped using remote start.

Also unplug each time I get out to pump gas. My kids even learned this procedure.

Told the dealership not to touch it when I was there for inspection.
 
Had one installed a couple of months ago. After getting my last jeep stolen out of my drive way. It really helps me sleep better. I love my new 392 and am parnoid somone is going to steal it.
 
Had mine installed last year by Vinny Raviele and his son Jimmy who live down the street from me. Excellent people and great product.

Had ravelco of idaho install system in August. Professional install, and service. Straightforward, effective and easy to use. Now remove the fob (which is no different than my 2007 JK - it has a metal key i insert and then remove when parking) when out and about. Highly recommend.
 
I have a hard time choking down 800 bucks for a 20 dollar connector and an hour of labor.

Thinking of home-brewing one of these....

The only unique thing they have going on is the custom connector. Most of these panel mount industrial connectors are the other way around... a small piece that mounts in the panel hole, and a large plug (to provide strain relief to the cable that would otherwise be attached).

I'm thinking of taking one of these (more pins/combinations than the Revelco), and just running it fro the engine compartment to under the drivers seat, attaching the large cable side of the connector to the Jeep.

Then taking the smaller panel side of the connector, and cutting it down as small as possible, do the custom soldering to the pins as needed for my wiring scheme, and gluing a plastic cap over the solder side....

For my application, I'd very rarely want to actually remove the plug. Most of the time my Jeep sits in my garage watched over by cameras, and a Belgian Malinois with a hair trigger. The only time I'd want to use it would be when traveling... stopped at a hotel, or dining at a restaurant. 95+ percent of the time I want to not have to mess with it. I also would not want it visible.

Putting it under the drivers seat (maybe held out-of-sight with a magnet), would let me just leave it plugged in and "normal" until I have to leave the Jeep somewhere "sketchy".

I work in IT, so I have done a lot with network cabling in the past..... for an even more stealth looking solution, albeit with fewer "combinations" would be to throw a rj45 panel connector somewhere (glovebox, console, even right out in the open on the dash somewhere). and do the same thing, run a cable into the engine and re-wire some (would have to be low amp) circuit to the panel connector, and make a custom and VERY small rj45 plug to make the connections work.

Edit:
Plus installing it myself would mean that I'd know how the sausage was made. If I ever lost my plug or had a faulty electrical connection 50 miles from the pavement, I'd know how to fix it myself.

Guru you are not the typical egg

Have had a RAVELCO system on both my 392 and TRX for over a year now. Great investment. Prompt, professional at-your-home installation. Both my systems have been flawless and sure add a great deal of peace of mind when parked in public. I was a AAA member, so RAVELCO offered a discount too.
 
Is anyone familiar with an experienced Ravelco installer in north east Wisconsin?
Their web site does not show any dealers in your state.
 
Michigan has the same issue. However, an installer from the east coast visits OH, MI, etc when they get enough jobs to make a tour. Pm me if you want contact details.
 
Not on the Jeep yet, but myself and two others had the Ravelco installer out of Vegas come install on the trucks. 3 at a time waived the travel fees. They were great and will be used on the Jeep in the near future.
 
I had my Ravelco installed on my 392 last week (in Houston). I've had them on all my trucks, since 2004. One of my previous Ram diesels was attempted to be stolen, they got in but couldn't get it started. It's a simple peace of mind, worth every penny. I'd rather pay the $800 than waste hours of my life arguing with insurance companies and losing a vehicle I enjoy.
 
Wondering if anyone has had any experience using the Ravelco Mid-Atlantic Division for their install on the 392….….According to their website they service the following areas with the in home installation - Any feedback would surely be appreciated- Looking to get this done in Early January ✌️
