Taken from the E bay ad: **Comes with basic instructions**

... This does not tell you the tricks of the trade used when a professional installation is done. And by the way even if a thief does bring his own ECU when attached with a correctly installed Ravelco the car still will not start. I know I have tried using a different ECU on our Ridgeline equiped with a Ravelco. No Joy. Something to think about to be sure.

Theives love ravelco...smh. Its one of the easiest units to bypass. I made a video of a itr that came into the shop for a gps system. I think I did it in 3 mins with just some wire strippers? Could of been quicker If I would of just hot wired the car. There is a video in the a/s/v. I will allways say this is a over priced, poor thought out kill switch that will lead a theif right to the circuit killed. There are way better options out there for the price.
