Also, the site says the keys are specific to the devices. They switch it up every 100 units, that way the chances of somebody having the right key is negligible.

Yeah man. Apparently some thieves can plug in to the OBD and reprogram so that the car recognizes their device as a legit key. The really good/hi-tech ones can sometimes get dealership codes so that they can open the car without even setting off an alarm or anything. I’m back and forth between...

lol You mean like a test to see if their shit even recognizes having been removed? I still have to register the device. Apparently I can also add up to seven other people on the account so that they are notified if the other person is in an accident or something somehow (I’ll have to double...

4sho The rest are all double sided tape. I figure it’ll be even more of a sleeper without the BW badges. Basically: if you know; you know. If you don’t, you don’t.

I went with this one. For them to get it off they’d have to destroy the damn thing which defeats the purpose. https://vargasturbo.com/product/vtt-obd-lock-odb-port-locking-tool/ I haven’t put it on yet. I just got the keys/car yesterday and dropped it off to get wrapped/tinted. When I bring it...

I’m having my ‘25 5-BW fully wrapped in Kavaca Ceramic Pro PPF. In doing so they are removing the badges other than the grille emblems. I am trying to decide between just leaving them off, or replacing them with all black gloss emblems. Anybody have a reputable source for the badges? I see...

Yeah, I watched a million videos on the car… as I’m sure most of us did. One of them was by a Canadian dude who said that if you lived in Canada you pretty much were not going to be able to get the car. I mean, my waiting was for the right car to come available, which was about a year of...

Supposedly this device has that capability. They are able to shut it down and notify the authorities. Dude told me a story about a car that got stolen from Reno and driven to LA. They were able to lock the thief out while he was in Costco and had the cops there waiting for him when he came...

Damn that looks fucking bulky. I didn’t see anything like that, but I’ll have to look further when I get the car back from the PPF/Ceramic place next week. I mean, MT might ensure they don’t get far… but it won’t stop em from trying most likely. In one of the places I live (split between two)...

Good lookin out man! I appreciate you. Oddly enough the 855 number worked today, and it was such an easy process! Just gave them my name and the vin and good to go.

All set up. They’re going to check with GM to ensure I’m not blowing smoke up their skirt, then send me an email to register. Friday I’ll be signing up for an actual date. Cadillacvnet for the win! If it wasn’t for this place I’d never have even known about the Academy. The shitty dealership...

Crazy enough, I called the 855 number again just now and got through. Last night I tried three times and got the Verizon wireless message. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ll take a look. I’m guessing I’ll find it when I put my OBD blocker in. Hopefully they’ll take it back and refund me. Especially since the Ikon website says certain steps have to be taken within 24 hours for certain stipulations to be in effect. The dealership never said shit about that, and...

Word. I paid cash homie. So they don’t care what happens to the car.

The dealer ship swindled me into it pretty much. I think it was like $300. They said their GM insisted it be on all vehicles. Ikon also pays for rental car while car is gone, and if the car isn’t found they put some money towards replacing it. That’d be helpful I guess. I am gonna go back next...

That’s cool. I’ve been looking for this specific color, with this specific interior, and a MT ever since the 2025 were on order. I didn’t order one myself, but kept my eye out every day. It does not exist. I finally got lucky and found the exact car/package I wanted (minus the bronze wheels, so...

They said that their GM has them install it on every car. I’m going to go back there and have them take it out and refund me if possible.

Exactly. Which is why it’s so strange. I called it directly from their website. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m gonna try calling their 775 number tomorrow. I’m guessing I’ll have better luck.

I picked up my BW today, and it’s fitted with the Ikon anti-theft device (a new age low jack basically). I downloaded the app, but can’t seem to figure out how to register my car. Their website says that for certain guarantees, the App has to be downloaded within 24 hours of purchase. The...

Tried calling that 855 number earlier and I just get a Verizon wireless message saying it isn’t available. 🤷🏽‍♂️
