Simply put, the IGLA from Author Alarm is one of the best security devices available. It protects your car, truck, or SUV against theft through key cloning and car hacking—two of the most common ways modern vehicles are stolen. The IGLA system doesn’t use a key fob or an LED flashing light that can be traced back to the control unit. Instead, it uses buttons and switches already built into your vehicle and allows you to create a custom PIN code that only you know. Even we won’t know the code. To start and drive your vehicle, you must enter the correct code.
The IGLA security system is undetectable to thieves and works seamlessly with the factory CAN-BUS network. No circuits are cut during installation, so thieves can’t detect it using modern diagnostic tools or scanners. No RF scanning or code-grabbing technology can intercept or detect the IGLA unit in your vehicle. It truly is next-generation protection for your investment.
Why Do I Need an IGLA?
Modern vehicles are being stolen using relay attacks, signal jamming, and CAN injection exploits. If you watch or read the news, you’ve likely seen that vehicle theft is skyrocketing. Consider the value of a modern vehicle today compared to 20 years ago. Their value incentivizes thieves to invest in tools and techniques to bypass factory security systems.
If you have a push-to-start vehicle, theft is even easier. If you’re reading this page, you likely already know about code grabbers or RF scanners that criminals use to intercept the signal from your key fob. Once copied, that signal unlocks your vehicle, disarms the factory alarm, and the thief can drive it away. If the cloned signal only unlocks the doors, thieves can still get in, plug into the OBD2 port using a key programming device, and create a new key in just a few seconds. It really is that simple.
Car theft has grown so much that thieves steal new vehicles from dealership lots. That alone convinced Westminster Speed & Sound to become an authorized dealer for the Author Alarm IGLA. Our team went through extensive training to install this product. With nearly 60 years of combined experience installing automotive alarm systems, our staff is well equipped to deliver a reliable installation that will give you years of trouble-free service.
