They got me

[Air’d outSRT]

Agreed, or it will be gone again in no time. The thieves have you marked as a target and odds are they will be back. A guy here at work got his GM truck stolen and bought another one once insurance paid out. Two weeks later the thieves were back and took his new truck. Told him about IGLA multiple times but he didn't think it was worth the $. Bet he still doesn't get it installed on this truck and he loses another one.

Can’t fix stupid apparently. He probably lost thousands when each one was stolen too

Didn’t have IGLA when stolen. Had the “not going to happen to me” mentality. Learned the hard way on that. Looking into IGLA now. Until it’s installed I have the truck into the corner of my driveway and blocked by another car. They’ll either have to drive thru my kitchen or tow my Range Rover to move it lol.

They probably won't drive through your kitchen, but towing that Range Rover is a possibility.

They'll just take both. Range rovers are easy to steal too. They cut an opening in the back tailgate (passenger side top) and plug into a connector, reprogram a key, unlock, drive away.

On a new 2024 Range Rover?

I am not sure I would admit to owning a JLR product given their new......direction?

 

[scottie46]

I know there’s a lot of threads on this already, but most seem about 2 years old so I’m sure there’s new info / updates. But which security system are you guys recommending? IGLA, Taser, Compustar with drone, Ravelco, etc?

 

[TRXMIKE]

IGLA!

lol!!! I bought it November 2023. Before their most recent speech on their “direction”. Bought it for wifey, and can honestly say that it’s the best drive in the world. Like driving on a cloud.

Don't you have a bunch of aftermarket Audio on it? IGLA won't save all your aftermarket stuff. Get compustar. IGLA will only save the truck but not prevent it from thieves rummaging through it and cutting shit up. Get both you won't regret it.

Nope. Nothing aftermarket on my truck besides the bed cover and window tint.

I have IGLA and want to get compustar installed eventually. It's in my garage overnight but the auto theft one town over from me is horrendous. I don't spend much time there, but still.

I'm confusing you with another guy who had his stolen. Didn't have IGLA and had just done a bunch of aftermarket Audio to it. Luckily they had found it a short while later. In that case nevermind! But I would still recommend compustar as well lol.

Don't chance it. Just get it done. What's another 1200$ bucks.

True

Yes, stolen the same way, fast and rather efficient

Its the easiest place to get the cans and do a “can injection” and start/drive it away. IGLA blocks this as well.

Let's take them in order:

IGLA - will prevent the truck from being started, will prevent key programming/deletion
Tazer - KINDA purports to do some of what IGLA does, but very buggy and problematic - has been known to damage electronics.
Compustar w/ drone - makes noise when triggered, has a basic starter-inhibit mechanism, provides GPS tracking
Ravelco - Fancy kill switch - easily bypassed.

If you were to get just one, I'd vote for IGLA. It's the only one to virtually guarantee the only way they're taking the truck is with a flatbed. The only issue w/ IGLA alone is there's no deterrence - nothing to "scare" the thief away. Compustar adds this deterrence factor w/ an alarm siren, shock/glass break sensors, and when coupled w/ Drone, will let you track the vehicle, even it is loaded on a flatbed.

Tazer is a half-assed attempt at security, done as an afterthought to a product that was originally designed to modify a few creature-comfort features in the BCM, and do stupid flashing light shows ("Ooh, look at me - all my lights are blinking").

Ravelco is a kill switch, nothing more. It offers a modicum of protection against the uneducated thief, who just knows to plug in his laptop/tablet to "dis connekter here" and "click on dat". Against a determined and educated thief, it's a minor annoyance, and not much else.

One other product I'll throw in the mix, in the deterrence category, is the add-a-shock sensor, which is a simple add-on product that trips the factory alarm when any type of shock/impact is detected. Coupled with a horn relocation, it's a lower-cost alternative to Compustar, but (obviously) without the GPS tracking.

For the best security, covering the widest range of scenarios, IGLA + Compustar w/ Drone gives you the best protection, short of a 24x7 armed guard. For THAT level, look into TrunkMonkey<tm>

You are 100% correct and as for IGLA we have some great stuff in store for the new year
Alarm functions with a Bluetooth siren for many makes and models with more being added.
Compass 4g that has full tracking, a double lockout feature that allows you to block the engine through the app so even if someone had your pin or the IGLA fob it is still locked out through can. Has other displayed information like temperature, fuel levels, miles ect. Some models will have remote start feature as well
Autostart, just like other setups like compustar it will allow control though the compass app
A digital hood lockout controlled by IGLA
A base model IGLA for low end models, geared towards kia/hyundai and those that cannot get the best model we use.

More to come!!
