Compustar vs IGLA

[Rbohno]

Is it disturbing that IGLA is Russian/ Ukrainian owned ….. in all honesty yes…. So I am torn to change my order to compustar or keep the IGLA install.

I'm all about made in USA. I had initial reservations about the IGLA being a Russian company, But after having my truck stolen, then recovered... Being in the shop for 4 months before finally getting it back....I decided, I dont care. I want to keep my truck this time. I had IGLA and compustar installed as soon as I got posession of my truck again. Firstech may be a US based company but every box I got after the install shows made in Vietnam.

The not-supporting Russian company argument is valid. The Russians will have my information is not valid IMO. You have a fairly simple but effective device with limited communication capabilities.

Now if DroneMobile was made in Russia with LTE communication to a cloud service then that might be bad but it is probably made in China so we are all good Disclaimer: This is a lighthearted response. I work in cybersecurity so I am becoming numb to the situation. For six bucks in bitcoin, you can get about anyone's data.

How would that even make a bit of sense? They are far from the same.
I can come and remove the entire compustar from your trx in a couple minutes and leave after making a new fob. That isn’t happening with an IGLA. Again, just because its a Russian company doesn’t mean its for what the government is doing, its common sense. They are in a shitty country, so are we..

Real-time location data is not something widely available. Knowing that IGLA developers are hackers (white/black/grey hat?) since they had to actually "hack" (reverse engineered) proprietary protocols should pose a concern for anyone caring about their privacy and security, particularly by Russians.

There is a lot of hard sell and hard push for IGLA by Air’d outSRT and others with very little empirical data to prove it's superiority above all. Something seems fishy.

- Whenever there is a user that has a complaint about IGLA - it's the user's fault.

- Whenever there's concern about IGLA being Russian - it's sold from Slovenia (but the Made is Russia label is still there?!?)

- Whenever someone mentioned another security system - the IGLA cult is there to smear them.

- Nobody dares to mention the major problem with keeping IGLA in-sync with new automaker firmware revisions. For the software development folk: remember what happens when using unpublished APIs.

- The IGLA (used car) salesforce keeps misleading by claiming that Chrysler warranty is unaffected. Having anything that bypasses SGW is a no-no.

Quite telling the (obsolete, but always handy to show by Air’d outSRT) screenshots of Z-Tech's (Tazer) guy being refused install because of fear of "reverse engineering". If IGLA is so easy to be reverse engineered, it means that there are tools in the wild to bypass it.

There is data and it does exactly what it says it does. It is the only thing of its kind that does exactly what it says it does and has all key protections. It has zero ways to communicate with anyone anywhere. It keeps all warranties intact for all makes and models including fca vehicles. It also doesn’t bypass anything including sgw, they are installed on 2018+ and the firmware is the same from 14-23 for chargers/challengers, odd huh . The “tazer” owner Joe can get one anytime he wants to. Individual shops around him said no, myself and a few others have said they would take him up on his offer but I am not driving to Long Island to install anything, you want it then come get it plain and simple. I am not worried one bit, there is nothing that can bypass it, find it electronically or even know its installed. There are over 500,000 installed in 35 countries and not one has been electronically bypassed or stolen unless the end user was at fault, left IGLA fob in it or the app on the phone but even then I have not seen anything saying that has happened either. If you actually knew how it worked then you would understand it all. And yes, almost all the issues that arise with an IGLA install is the end user not being up to speed on it yet. I do almost all of the US tech support side of it and can say with absolute certainty that that is the case or just need to toggle a setting which literally takes a minute and isn’t an installation issue.

I use the Z Automotive TAZER DT. Which has a pin code and a "KillByFob" feature. Plus, many more features that are all selectable. Anyone use this for anti-theft? The device is also security screwed sealed in a metal box with an SGW extension cable so I can hide it and so it can't be unplugged made by BrawlerFab.

I just commented on another post about how secure it is.

I had the Compustar T-13 installed and added an additional kill switch. Compustar has an engine starter-kill relay that prevents it from being started. haven't had in any issues at all.

Source? Where is the data?

Source? Where is the data?

Wrong. Having it on the phone is all is needed to give out your location, and perhaps more.

Wrong. It taps the CAN bus. Anyone even vaguely familiar with electronics know what that can mean, from interference, to impedance, timing, etc potential issues. This applies to any alarm systems/devices that tap (even more in IGLA's case, CAN interrupt wires) the CAN, not only IGLA. Other vendors are HONEST about telling users to remove them prior to visiting the dealer.

The response above from Air’d outSRT is just another example of "used cars" salesman hard sell tactic to deceive. This + the Russia origin = not something that I'll ever install in my car.

The info is all there for you, I am not going to sit here and entertain your ignorance. There is nothing out anywhere that does the security that IGLA does. We also don’t pair a cellphone to them, none of the US installers do, we have already came to a consensus on it so your little tantrum is pointless. Just because something uses can wires doe not mean it is going to void a warranty, that would mean plugging in an obd scanner, amp power steps, tazer, any obd plug in from any insurance company ect would void a warranty. I get it, you have no idea what it is, how it works and therefore don’t want it, I really don’t care if you get it or not, its not like I would make a penny if you did. Go hack your wires up, put a useless kill switch in or whatever other gimmick you want, I will not loose a second of the 4 hours of sleep I barely get a night
Patently waiting for more crying about something you know nothing about.

I had the Compustar T-13 installed and added an additional kill switch. Compustar has an engine starter-kill relay that prevents it from being started. haven't had in any issues at all.

As I have mentioned it is all in plain sight and can be removed in a few minutes. I just removed a whole Compustar system for a member and he walked in his house to check on his daughter and came out 20 minutes later and I was putting his trx back together, I was taking my time and being careful and not doing what thieves do and break stuff. Its a deterrent not anti theft unfortunately. Also, a T13 is a remote that is added to a compustar system. There are several main units.

More lies and deflections.

I'll wait!

Have IGLA state my stance on warranty? IGLA is an antitheft device and has no way of communicating, already said this. IGLA units have a 1 year warranty on them and we all have warranty for any installation issues. Ask every person I have done an install on. Your so concerned about stellantis then go waste your time and call them. Time to grow up bud, phones are easy to dial now, they are press button.

Why stop with stellantis, IGLA is available for hundreds of makes and models, let me get a master sheet of all the parent companies and subsidiary makers from kia to Lamborghini, Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls Royce ect so you can call them all!! Lets make a week of it

 

[Air’d outSRT]

Is this from Author (the Russian manufacturer of IGLA)?

Are those wire splices the same as "plugging in an obd scanner, amp power steps, tazer, any obd plug" ?

Can you repeat again that Stellantis will endorse this if there are electrical problems with the vehicle?

Instead of personal attacks you should focus on facts.

First off that is a Kvant, this is just proving my point, you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA wtf you’re talking about. This will be my last reply so no point adding more ignorance and stupidity to a reply. A Kvant was made by Author for those vehicles and motorcycles that do not have can and lin bus systems, so in other words OLD vehicles. It has no pin in the dash or steering wheel, it has a single button that learns your pin off of your button presses. Maybe if you actually asked how it all worked I would entertain replying but from your ignorance and petty childlike nonsense replies Incan see that isn’t in your nature. Go forth and actually learn something. Enjoy the rest of your night

 

[Air’d outSRT]

IGLA also uses (GPS), unlike what the IGLA salesman is saying.

Ahh another stupid comment about stuff you do not know about… you have been stalking all my comments but yet failed to comprehend the ones about what we install in the US, what is actually available in the US and what myself and another IGLA dealer/installer have been helping to make so it can be added to the IGLA that we do install inside the US… IGLA Alarm…. Not Atlas, not Autostart, not Kvant, not Compass ect. Remember when I said you shouldn’t make comments about stuff you had no idea about? This is another time. Those are once again EUROPE
We are trying to get the compass working but the russian government is a pos. It will be added to IGLA Alarm so it will have real time tracking and control over some things like lock, unlock, factory alarm, remote engine kill ect. Should I break it down more for you or possible 2nd grade it so you can understand. You don’t like IGLA we get it, you can hate it all you want, you have no idea what it is or how it works, shame really because if you did then you might actually want it
Now go oh wise one and scour the corners of the internet and find more incorrect information so you can come disseminate it here and to the world so you can be told you are wrong yet again. Probably a good time to go and get some rest, big day of stalking tomorrow, thanks for the follow

 

[Air’d outSRT]

I bet you could remove an IGLA system in the same time, no? Or are you claiming that you did that with the Compustar while it was armed and loaded?

I removed the IGLA I installed at the same time as the compustar that is correct. A bit different when you know 100% where it is at huh

Patently waiting for the stupid comment “that means you can go out and steal the ones you install it on”
Yup because that would be a smart thing to do huh.

 

[Air’d outSRT]

Laughing like used car salesman doesn't make you any smarter Vladimir. Do you still know how to read English? It is from the IGLA.

BTW, how are you selling Russian crap and breaking the US / West embargo? Still proud, US Army (ret)?

Show me where it says an IGLA alarm that we install has gps… wow….

 

[Air’d outSRT]

BTW, how are you selling Russian crap and breaking the US / West embargo? Still proud, US Army (ret)?

I ignored you already but let’s answer your once again idiotic comment. Sanctions are for oil (which we still import) luxury good import and export and other industrial products. They raised the tariffs for other goods like metals and products that don’t fall into the luxury category which is damn near everything in a modern home but I guess you didn’t read that far down yet again. You clearly have some issues and need some help. IGLA is a stand alone immobilizer that has no way of communicating, no gps, no way of sending or receiving unless you use an encrypted bluetooth dongle to upload the firmware to it from a couple feet not 10,000 miles. I guess you don’t know how bluetooth works either
There will be no further contact from me so if I was you I would take that wasted time trying to get a rise out of me and do something beneficial, maybe learn some reading comprehension, common sense, maybe some breathing techniques…

Its far easier to just ignore the stupidity. Common sense seams to be a thing of the past these days.
