I have 5 vehicles so yes I'm very patient.Gotcha, so you're willing to wait an extended period of time for a new one. Fair enough.

For me, it's mostly about doing what I can to prevent theft. This is the first new vehicle that I took the time to order and wait for. I understand your point of view if it applied to any other car I've bought off the lot, but this is the first I've speced out exactly to my liking.I understand everyone wants to protect their truck from being stolen but the way I see it, If I have $500 deductible, and some asshole breaks in and tears shit apart, with IGLA preventing the theft, I still have to file a claim to fix my truck. I rather have them take the whole thing.
On the other hand, if they take the truck and go joyride it for 5 days cops find it then you get it back all clapped out. Either way the 'citizen' gets the short end of the stick. There was wisdom in the hanging of horse thieves.I understand everyone wants to protect their truck from being stolen but the way I see it, If I have $500 deductible, and some asshole breaks in and tears shit apart, with IGLA preventing the theft, I still have to file a claim to fix my truck.

That is a valid point as well but joyriding is more of a Kia boys vs Hellcat stuff that is stolen for parts and often disappears.On the other hand, if they take the truck and go joyride it for 5 days cops find it then you get it back all clapped out.

The phone app is fantastic. I can’t speak to the Android experience, but with iOS the app just stays active in the background so that every time I go to the truck I’m ready to hop in and drive away like the IGLA is not even there. It requires zero interaction of any kind.I have thought about using the phone app but my installer advised against it as it can be unreliable at times so I haven't set that feature up yet. Not sure if you have had any positive experiences with that feature, but I'd like to hear if you have.
Here in Arizona, it is rare to hear about carjackings. Not that they don't happen because I am sure that they do. Not sure if has to do with the majority of people who live here being armed.
As another member stated though if someone is brave enough to carjack me I'd probably just want them to disappear as quickly as possible. Materials can always be replaced, we only get one life.
Where did you get it installed?

I like the phone app and how that works. I do wish IGLA had a shock sensor.
Just got off the phone with Jose placing an order with him for my addshocksensor. Watched the videos he sends too. Does anyone have experience installing their addshocksensor? I'm going to search the forum hoping there's a detailed write up.
Many board members have gone this route. It’s ridiculously sensitive, highly adjustable, and easy to install. Integrates with the factory alarm.
The biggest difficulty is in spreading the wires in the loom so that you can access the wire you need. The cluster of wires is TIGHT!Just got off the phone with Jose placing an order with him for my addshocksensor. Watched the videos he sends too.

Do you have anti carjacking mode on? If so you can toggle it off and back on when going into big cities ect. Service mode is easy to toggle on and then when you get your vehicle back, enter your pin code and it will turn off.First of all, I would like to thank Scott @Americanmuscleperformance for the install. We wanted to get this installed before our road trip to Georgia. Not that driving through Atlanta has its negatives
1. You cannot rush to get into the car and enter your code. Although it is pretty quick, don't think you are jumping in and need to respond to a fire.
2. If you are driving and wish to stop and exit the car while leaving it running, you have to remember to re enter your code when you get back in. The system will think you are getting car jacked, throw a whole bunch of codes and eventually shut off.
3. I still have to play with the service mode, however, in our case, we valet the truck and it gets left up front wherever we stay. The valet was very accommodating in letting us park the truck upfront and not them.
4. If you have AMP steps and you exit the vehicle while its still running, there is a slight delay on them deploying. I think this goes back to the IGLA thinking you are being car jacked.
5. Remote start works as planned. Just enter your code and you are good to go.
Just wanted to give an update to anyone contemplating this. It's seriously a piece of mind, although over engineered which is good thing.
Not when you have $20,000 in mods to your vehicle. Then you’re screwed and the $500 deductible is a minor setback.I understand everyone wants to protect their truck from being stolen but the way I see it, If I have $500 deductible, and some asshole breaks in and tears shit apart, with IGLA preventing the theft, I still have to file a claim to fix my truck.

I've never tried to use the phone app for IGLA. I always use the pin code and simply add the fob to the main fob, for any type of service that needs to be done. The remote start and stop, is still accessible through the Ram app without any issues.I've had IGLA installed for about 3 months now and it's been great. I feel more comfortable leaving the truck in parking lots and various places. I use the pin code entry via the control buttons 99% of the time. I use the keyfob when I drop it for service to avoid any issues. The only downfall is that the remote start via the phone app does not work with IGLA. If you put it in bypass mode it will work but that defeats the purpose of the IGLA system. It's not a huge issue, but something to be aware of. Hopefully some sort of update becomes available in the future to fix this issue.
I had to drive to California to get it installed by Jon at SoCal IGLA. He was recommended by another member.Where did you get it installed? I live down in Yuma and no one down here has the capability.
How much was the sensor, I don't see prices on the website?

I’m in Canada so face import duties and high shipping costs. It cost me $250CAD to my door. Message or call the vendor for an accurate US price or perhaps someone else can offer insight.How much was the sensor, I don't see prices on the website?
Gotcha, thanks for the data point. It's weird that they don't have prices listed.I’m in Canada so face import duties and high shipping costs. It cost me $250CAD to my door. Message or call the vendor for an accurate US price or perhaps someone else can offer insight.
Have you confirmed it shuts off by testing it , we install these too and tested that , without additional wiring and relays to interrupt a specific circuit …. It shouldn’t shut down even with antihijack mode on , it may put the truck into auto park though , but shutting down without additional wiring and relays we’ve not seen workFirst of all, I would like to thank Scott @Americanmuscleperformance for the install.
