Yes and no. While we don’t disable your remote start, without the Ravelco plug in place there is no fuel going to your engine and the starter will not engage.

Each Ravelco comes with two plugs. If you lose one, the vehicle is still secure and won’t start.
Extra plugs can only be ordered directly from Ravelco’s manufacturer for security reasons.
You’ll need:
Proof of purchase
Your plug code
Driver’s license
A completed order form (available on Ravelco’s site)
➡️ We cannot order extra plugs on your behalf
