There are usually 2 types of comments when I see camaro anti theft threads. 1. Actual tips and 2. “I put mine in a garage so I don’t have to worry”. Please realize the latter is not always applicable (because 9/10 if the garage option was available the post wouldn’t be made) and some people simply don’t have access to a garage. Comments like, “just place it in a garage” is dismissive and unhelpful. Please refrain.

I have a 2014 SS 1LE and luckily I went for a keyed ignition. Thieves broke into my car and couldn’t get it started because no key and they couldn’t use the obd2 or start the car.

Good luck getting a hacksaw behind my clutch pedal.

I have relocated my OBD (2022 2SS) and put in a dummy one. I also keep my keys in a faraday box. I plan on adding a kill switch to the ignition and fuel pump. I work in law enforcement and have done numerous reports on stolen Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, and Mustangs. I can say this. They don't steal the stick shifts, at least not nearly as much. I can only recall one getting taken, but the others all have had just broken windows and trims to get to neutral safety switch.

You can disable the proximity unlock/disarm from the key FOB by holding the lock/unlock button at the same time for 3 seconds *with the car off. It will then require a button press from the fob to disarm the car and prevent a relay attack. AFAIK anyway, maybe model year dependent.

22 Camaro SS1le stolen from my house over a month ago and not found. Onstar GPS shows that it’s parked on my driveway. Not sure how they disabled this. The only good thing, I still had 30k left on the loan, insurance is paying me 53k for the car plus 5k for all the taxes that I paid when purchased. So insurance will pay off the car and give me a 28k balance check. But honestly, I would rather have my car than the money. But it sucks that you can’t have nice things without being worried about theft.

The IGLA alarm!! You don't need to disconnect the battery! Best security system for our camaros. In order to start the car you need to enter a pin code. Without that pin code car wont start 👌. It also protects your key fob signal from being duplicated/copied. Its definitely worth it! I have a it on my 2024 SS 1LE. Also added Drone Mobile which is a live gps tracker 👍

Some people have stripped the speaker from the AirTag but it still functions for finding with the U1 chip, aftermarket AirTag compatible devices don’t have the U1 chip but still come with a speaker.

OBD Block, like an aluminum 'VTT “OBD-LOCK” ODB port locking tool' Basically, the relay attacks from the keys are still possible. But since most people are using faraday cages/pouches and how they steal it from crowded parking lots is they are fairly easily programming a new key and they don't need an existing one with high end scanning/programming tools, hence why windows are getting smashed to access the port.

You guys will have to do like the hellcat guys. get the IGLA alarm. Doesn’t allow the cars keys to be duplicated and doesn’t allow it to move without the IGLA fob or PIN code. From owning a hellcat honestly that is the best bet. The ravelco is another, but you lose remote start. Those two are the only options to stop theft short of them having a tow truck. Even if they steal it on a tow truck the car is a brick and only good for parts at that point. The kill switches, AirTags, all that other stuff doesn’t work.

I can't start my Camaro when the Hood is open and the engine stop when i pop the hood. Could hide a Killswitch using the same Actuator. Whats your opinion on that option? Fortunately i live in Germany so Camaros being stolen is not a real issue as they rather go for the luxury cars. Of course im still using multiple other methods to protect my baby.

I dont really need the wireless ability to start and stop the car. This isn't my daily. Would it help if I only used the mechanical key that is built into the key fob? Is there even a way to achieve this?

@@Jeking84 No. I bought Theft Patrol when I bought the car. That works. They found the car and called the cops. Funny thing, while I was on the phone with Theft Patrol, they found the car instantly, OnStar called me and said they couldn’t find it. The thief took the OnStar module out of the car thinking it was the tracker. All that did was totally deactivate the car. Now I am waiting for a new module so I can finally drive my car again.

I have air suspension installed. I air out, then take the controller with me, and there's a switch that kills the fuses that start both of the compressors. It takes 10 seconds to flip the hidden switch and unplug the controller. The controller fits in my Faraday pouch with my key fob and wallet. A thief can't steal a car, cat convertor, or wheels if it's laying frame. I also have the air suspension components bolted down under a vented enclosed box to make it harder to steal my airlift management. I'm looking to install a fuel pump kill switch next. The nice thing about that method is the thief won't know if my car just won't turn over or if there is a kill switch, and it makes a lot of noise. Also, it wont kill all the power and reset everything.

Remove the fuse 30amp. First Purple switch above the black relay that says GM on the right lower hand side of the box. That’s the starter fuse. Or install a Revelco Killswitch.

@rawshooter7530 4 ай бұрын

Hack saw takes less than 20 seconds to cut through the steering wheel and they can easily slip off any aftermarket wheel to brake pedal/ wheel to window club lock. Had it happen to my truck 15 years ago. Detachable steering wheel with a hub lock plate is better (for older cars without airbags) with a Ravelco plug and a Faraday bag for the newer vehicles.

@rrath5469 Ай бұрын

I have the 2018 ZL1 1LE, and would it be best to just isolate the starter circuit, thus still keeping all power to everything else? Thus using a kill switch to power a 12VDC high power contactor/relay to the main hot wire to the starter.

I was devastated when I received the news but it all worked out in the end so that's all that matters 👍👍😁😁 As a side question though: I saw/read this on another comment section but is there something MORE secure about just using the silver button on the door handle to lock/unlock instead of using the key fob since the key fob sends a signal???

I mean, it doesn't really matter if no one is around. But technically, yes if someone is in a car near by when you use your key, that can allow them to clone it.

I had my ZL! stolen from my performance shop. I recently installed the compustar T13 as an additional security measure, it completely blocks the starter, even if you have the actual camaro remote or if you duplicate the key fob, you still cant start it without disarming the compustar. It also has GPS tracking, 2-way remote, and drone LTE app that notifies you wherever you are in the country. Check em out....The IGLA is also another pin-system option but it doesnt alert you if a tow truck grabs it and it has no GPS. The only reason my car was recovered is, the new mcleod clutch had not been bled, so they couldnt drive it, found it with the clutch on the floor.
