So I read this entire article and left feeling a lot of anxiety because I thought there were quite a few bad/inconvenient things regarding the system itself. So I decided to do a counter article (and not trying to start/pick a fight with the OP, I just want to have the other side of the coin here.)
I'll address per paragraph numerically.
1.) IGLA is extremely secure, we agree here. The rest of this, I have an a very different experience. I literally will explain in two options. I can remote (FOB or app) start my truck, touch door handle to unlock it, get in, buckle my seat belt, put in gear, and drive off. The other route is I walk up to truck, touch door handle, it unlocks, get in, hit red button, buckle seat belt, shift into drive and take off. NO DELAY. Essentially, if I gave you the keys to my truck to take it for a spin, you'd never know it had an IGLA on it. The ONLY thing that might trip someone up is, if they start the truck, put it in drive WHILE they are putting on their seatbelt, it will not allow you to move. You have to shift back into park, then back into drive and you are able to go.
2.) 10 second commitment. This is fairly misleading or out of order here, there is no "boot up" time to take off or to be able to do your thing. Turn the truck on and go. The 10 second reference here is if you CHOOSE this method of NOT using the IGLA FOB (more on this later.) The IGLA FOB allows instant access/startup.
3.) If you have a pin to enter (not using other functions like the FOB from IGLA) you have to wait for startup screen, I'll give the OP that. Entering a pin and startup screen maybe 5 seconds? But YOU are choosing that method, not the system. The IGLA system can be much faster. The FOB from IGLA can be used as "bypass" for not giving up a pin for the truck, but you are giving the dealership convenience, and you are the one choosing that method. Remember, you basically have to be touching the truck for the IGLA FOB to be working, and it is also end to end encrypted, therefore can't be stolen like a typical key FOB.
4.) For the last month, it has been 100% reliable, not a single issue, whatsoever. Again, if your FOB failed, you can always revert back to the pin, which does take longer to get going. Secondly, I would ask your installer to re-evaluate what is going on if that is in fact the case. they failed after 3 days. Your results were not typical.
5.) Give the wife the FOB (the second one) that comes with the box. However, this kind of points back to the paragraph 4.
6.) The risk you are willing to accept, seems.... (to quote Spock in a joking way "seems illogical.") To have it removed just creates an atmosphere of a substantially easier truck to steal for a tiny bit of inconvenience, even if the FOBs are not working.
7. (disclaimer) You clearly are not an idiot, your post was well written, had great and valid points. However, I think you got pushed over as a consumer. Everything that you wanted to experience as an IGLA installed truck, I am. My point here is not to brag, but to say, either you received a bad product that has left you in this predicament or the installation was incorrect. My advice, since you've already spent the money on the system, maybe have someone else to install it or try again with updates?
Overall to the community, this AGAIN is not meant to be an inflammatory rebuttal to the OP. It is an OPINION of my experiences that ran contradictory to the OP. I wanted to have other people understand with my experience now cresting a little over a month (which is not end all, be all), I'd say, it's worth every penny.
