can't support any product that is coming out of Russia or have any ties to it. Too many killings, rapes (woman and children) and war crimes happening in Ukraine.

But you can’t stop using any product that is coming out of China though. Too many organ harvested from political dissidents and political prisoners, and minority genocide to the Uyghur in Xinjiang. That’s unfortunate.

Yep..
If I boycotted all the Companies/Countries I strongly disagree with... I would have to live off-grid.
And I can't even get myself to do the glamping thing anymore.. So that's not gonna happen.

That’s why I call it “Unfortunate”. Some people tend to show their virtual signal by boycotting something they don’t really need. But on the other hand, They would have no problem “supporting” someone else do something even worse.

I just called them. I’m kind of shocked the IGlA is $1,200 installed and $1600 with the shock and tilt sensor. Seems high. I also don’t like that you can’t shut it off. I am in and out of my truck alot and not sure I want to enter a pin code every time. I like the idea of the revelco better but no one installs here. Luckily my truck isn’t here yet so I have time to figure this out

You can also just leave the Author Alarm app running in the background on your phone. It pairs to the IGLA module itself. This way, as long as you enter the vehicle with your phone, there is no further interaction required. No button, no pin, no additional fob. Nada. Just the phone you already carry.

Just got IGLA installed in the Los Angeles area. Gives me peace of mind just knowing I have another layer added to prevent any easy thefts.

I love that I can keep remote start just fine. Car starts up like normal but will not let it go into Drive without authorizing the system.

Pretty straightforward to use. I’ve been getting use to the PIN code just to make sure I don’t forgot it. But the key fobs and phone app seems to work well just jumping in the car and seamlessly driving off.

I just had Chuck and his wife out and they installed my Ravelco. They were fantastic and did a top notch job. Couldn’t ask for better service and quality. I’d recommend them 100%. I’m very happy that it’s installed and now I have peace of mind not having to worry about someone trying to steal this new lady from me. If you’re on the fence don’t bother just get it done.

Can I ask what it cost you installed?

And do you have a link to the company that installed it?

I'm about 40-50 minutes from San Diego

$850. Installer came from LA area to install it At my house. very professional individual. Him and his partner got the job done and answered all my questions during the time of installation and after.

[email protected]

is the email they prefer to use. I have his direct contact but to save him the amount of calls he would have to respond to, he‘d prefer to be contact by email until individuals are reayd to move forward.

I just booked Chuck and Megan to come out on May 2nd... I pick my truck up tomorrow so only have to wait a little over a week for install. Cannot wait for that peace of mind. Good to hear they were fantastic. I have heard others say the same.

IGLA system installed! For those wondering, I am in San Diego and just had this installed.

Hi there, I know it’s been just a few days since you got IGLA installed but can you share your experience please. Did they cut any wires to get it installed? Any regrets?

IGLA SoCal in the Los Angeles area.

Gives me peace of mind now even if I’m just taking it to the mall!

Installed 3-5 TRXs in SoCal and was installing on a hellcat challenger and Toyota/Lexus.

My experience has been great thus far! No complaints at all. The only issue that I am having at the moment, which it really isn't that much of an issue as it pertains to their app and NOT the system itself is that, they mentioned they're experiencing some functionality bugs with their iOS app (Author Alarm). For now, I am using the very slim key fob. Technically, I can still use my phone via bluetooth to operate the system but from my understanding, the app would help disconnect it faster from the car with the disable/enable feature in the app. Other then that, it totally works! My truck will not turn over without the pin or signal from the fob/phone.

As far as cutting any wires, yes, wires will need to be cut in order to install this system. It's not as invasive as the Ravelco but wires will still need to cut.

No regrets so far.

Yes absolutely great people and installation is spot on. I’m a fanatic with things being 100% and they definitely are very good. The peace of mine is definitely nice every morning when I get out of the gym I would walk out wondering if it was still gonna be there and now the concern is gone.

How are you all finding IGLA dealers and installer’s. Website doesn’t have an American phone number.

Chuck and Megan did mine on Sunday, very nice people. Very thorough and clean job. Couldn’t be happier.
