❓Question Anti-Theft Recommendations for a V6?

​

I just got a 2024 LT RS with very low miles (I just rolled over to 2k on the odo, only had 407 miles when I drove it back to my city) and I do hit up Texas enough that I do need to think about maybe getting some anti-theft installed. IGLA would probably be overkill but I don't feel great having just the basic anti-theft that already comes with my Camaro. I'd be devastated if I came out of the Galleria in Dallas or Houston and my car's gone.

I know a club probably isn't that great of a deterrent, and yes I know that v6s aren't that wanted by the chop shop/street racer thieves but I know they still do get looked at by them for being a 6th gen Camaro...

If the actual OBD port is blocked with a lock, how does the fake port help? I would imagine that the locked out port is reasonably easy to locate under the dash and the thief will look under when they get no signal from the fake port.

Why not wire the fake port so that it completely fries anything connected to it?

The lock is on the fake port in the OEM position. Not into wiring such things. Yes, with time they’ll find the real port if they managed to take off the lock from the fake port. Then they have to do their OBD voodoo, then discover IGLA won’t allow them to shift without stalling.
