@Creamsicle and anyone else:
All Tazer has right now is a "live" feature (meaning, it has to be plugged in for it to work) is a pin sequence before you can drive away. Considering thieves (to my understanding) plug right in to the security bypass cables to delete/make a FOB, they will simply just unplug the tazer rendering the security pin 100% useless.... Lol
As others have pointed out, the metal "tazer shield" is only a delay before the thieves access the wiring they need to get around the tazer. Not saying it's worthless, just understand what it will and wont do - I still ordered a shield, and will install it whenever it comes in.
Also that's not a knock on the tazer either - I have one, and think it's absolutely worth owning for it's other features, at the least.
Guys, add a shock sensor to the factory alarm. I used this:

Inexpensive and SUPER easy install if you have any competency whatsoever with wiring.
I can not stress how easy it is to install. Took me all of like 20 minutes, and then messing around with the shock sensor's sensitivity, while driving my neighbors crazy setting my alarm off over and over getting it set the way I want it
Any more force than a light/medium "knock" on ANY of the windows, at the factory alarm is going nuts.
IGLA is being installed tomorrow on my truck. After doing my HW, it makes the most sense to me. IGLA's features/track record have already been infinitely discussed on this forum, so I won't get into all that. IMO, it's worth the money.
I'm also going to re-locate/hide the transmission park override lever/cable too. From what I've been seeing, that's another tactic thieves have sometime been using - push/tow the vehicle "around the corner" or whatever, and then work on defeating the additional security is installed.
Remember: while these thieves are complete shitbags... most of them aren't stupid. They are doing this to make money. But because they aren't stupid (never underestimate your enemy), they know that the potential money they'll make by stealing your vehicle is completely worthless if they end up in prison/dead. They are expecting your TRX to be a soft target (because from the factory they are soft, and these thieves know that...).
When something unexpected to them occurs - like your alarm going nuts as soon as they hit your window.... they have a decision to make. If they choose to continue, and realize the have to get around the metal shield in their way... they have another decision to make. If they continue, and realize they can't delete your FOB (IGLA)... they have another decision to make. So on, etc...
Or: they already have your FOB/code - don't know your PIN and cant bypass it (IGLA)... Then they can't find the trans park override... etc..
Bottom line: what do you think they'll do? Continue burning precious minutes fumbling around with your vehicle, thus increasing their risk of prison/great bodily harm/death more and more..? Or, "cut their loss" and move on to the next vehicle?
