I haven't had any issues and love the darn thing. When out shopping for Christmas I used the lockout. Not on one of our trucks but applies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeihiAE1zJg |

Re: progression ignition
I'm really thinking about getting one of these. I really like the idea of being able to disable the truck via Bluetooth. But then I get a case of the "what-ifs"... what if my phone dies... what if the Bluetooth link fails... what if my wife needs to drive the truck when I'm not around (not that she ever would)...
I'm probably going to end up buying one in the spring. |
Re: progression ignition
looks like an interesting product. but I guarantee I'd forget my PIN and get stranded at Whataburger.

Re: progression ignition
Does your phone actually have to connect every time you drive your vehicle? I wouldnt think so, if so though its a deal breaker for me.
BTW there are worse places to be stranded than What a Burger haha! |
Re: progression ignition
No, you don't have to be connected at all, only to change / monitor.
As for loosing the code, well don't do that after locking the distributor! Kind of like, it hurts when I poke myself in the eye ... don't do that either LOL Though phone dying, breaking, getting lost - that would be a bit of bad luck! |
Re: progression ignition
What do these things cost ?
They want you to return it for servicing "if" it goes bad ? That's not something I want to hear on a road trip I tried to look it up and their website doesn't work , That's not very reassuring. Being an old school guy I think I'll stick with the basic HEI system that's been used for the last 48 years , This just seems like an expensive techie type thing , Loose your phone and your done ? :lol: |

Web site works fine for me with the link in the first post. On the home page scroll down and click on the Chevy box. It shows all of the Chevy styles available and the prices. What do you do with any newer car if it quits running on the road? Either call a buddy if you are close enough, have him come and get you, take the trailer back and haul it home or call a tow truck. Not a big deal.... LockDoc |
Re: progression ignition
I'm with Doc on this. When (not if) the pickup coil in that 48 year old HEI fails your done. Time to pull the distributor and completely disassemble it to replace the coil. Hopefully you have a spare HEI stashed behind the seat.
Or more a likely scenario is losing that key fob for that late model car while on that road trip. Be prepared for a tow to the dealership. I'm seriously considering one of these for my 72 Firebird. Once you price out a rebuilt distributor or a quality new one, an aftermarket ignition system with a Rev limiter and retard contols, a distributor gear for a bilet roller cam, the cost of having a professional distributor curve done at least once, the cost is the same or better without the ease of adjustability. And if your worried about losing your phone get an old cheap phone, load the program on it and hide it in the truck. It doesn't need to have service, just Bluetooth to undo the ignition lock. Just my opinions. With them and five bucks you can buy a cup coffee most places. :lol: |
Re: progression ignition
Yeah , Well , it's probably just too high tech for me . I'll just go back to points . ;) :lol:
