Toyota Highlander cannot be stolen! Stop Relay Theft! Author Alarm IGLA

[@ch1kusoo]

I am here cuz of the recent video of the Lexus RX theft over at Sheppard and Brimley in Scarborough. I looked up Lexus theft videos and I am shocked at this type of theft. I was considering a Lexus NX, was a bit hesitant after watching that theft video but a more relieved now that there's a solution to combat this type of theft.

[@LockdownSecurity]

Welcome aboard!

[@sadiasyed1975]

My toyota highlander just got stolen 2 days back from my drive way.I wish I would ve done dat security measure too.

[@luclandry92]

What about simply disabling the Key fob everytime you go out of the car?

[@onespeedlite]

There's no need to do it every time. Just disable keyless entry. In some cars, you can change the setting yourself. If your vehicle doesn't have that option, you can ask the dealer to program it. You will be able to lock and unlock the door with your key fob. You will also be able to start your vehicle by placing your key fob close to the push-start button. If you want more protection, install a hidden kill switch to turn off the power to your vehicle's water pump. If you are short on cash, you can take the battery out of your key fob. This stops it from emitting signals. Then use the physical key found in your key fob to open the door. By using one of these two methods, you don't have to use a faraday bag/box.

How can I get it installed in Toronto

[@romeshkulasegaram8452]

The Combination of Buttons can be saved used to create an up to a 20 button PIN Sequence.

[@2bp827]

How much is the installation

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

Awsome product thank you

[@dmitryshvetsov2685]

So easy! So simple! Awesome protection!

[@DinasGarage]

This is awesome will it work for vehicles without Push to start?

[@alvinsimba734]

Without push to start they can't do anything as one needs the actual key to start it.

[@vVeazel]

I see a risk here. Car can be started without disarming, but shuts off once in gear. Great, but that will let it roll away down a driveway and into traffic/snowbank/fence/etc. That'd be a fun claim to make with insurance. I would rather it does not start to begin with. Is that a possibility?

[@sagirius]

So, are these two different alarms installed? Or is it just compustar alarm and just igla for the pin code set up? Confused. Thanks

[@LockdownSecurity]

On this particular vehicle, we installed the Author Alarm IGLA *and* a Compustar alarm with remote starter. The two systems complement each other, and provide both high security as well as convenience of remote start to the client.

[@sagirius]

@@LockdownSecurity ha ok thanks for the info!

[@v.g.6944]

Will this stop the can ingestion method?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes this will stop CAN Injection attacks, however if the thief is using CAN Ingestion, he or she will probably have a stomach ache.

[@v.g.6944]

@@LockdownSecurity I asked the same question on a different forum and received this answer "No, it won't work, because of the way the hacking device puts itself into a priority status and tells the car to ignore all other devices on the CAN, renders any CAN immobilizer useless". Any scenarios where this is true?

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@v.g.6944 We use an additional blocking method, which is called analogue blocking, not just CAN-blocking. Analogue blocking cannot be over ridden using the can-injection theft method.

[@graybryan9521]

Isn't it easier to just turn the fob off until you need it?

[@gerrybuffett770]

Agreed, not sure if 2019s have that option, but on 2020+, I always Hold Lock and press unlock twice on my fob after using the vehicle to shit the fob off. (Not practical for some)

[@dmonk926]

The original igla vid says the anti hijack works when the door is open for 3 seconds and suddenly driven off then it will shut down. Sounds a bit daft. Can u say whether the more sensible thing, the car simply being driven out of the range of the fob resulting in the engine being stopped works instead?

[@romeshkulasegaram8452]

These are designed for security in all world markets. While this can happen in North America, it is much more common outside of North America. Driver are lured out of the vehicle, and then a second person drives off. Without the code, after 1KM, they will be asked to enter the code. This feature can be disabled at the time of installation in the configuration, or afterwards by the owner.

[@johnny23toronto]

Looks great! But how far as a min should the new fob be? Your demonstration showed the fob walking away for two minutes. What if the front door is only like a few steps away?

[@LockdownSecurity]

It only needs to be 5+ feet away, we went so far in the video to ensure we were not too close in the video only

[@thomasrichardson-ev1wp]

Go to settings and turn off push button start

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@thomasrichardson-ev1wp not sure that possible on a push button start Highlander? How would you start the vehicle if that were possible?

[@NJ_Scat_Hemi_Orange]

Can you still use factory remote start?

[@LockdownSecurity]

On gas Highlanders you can, on the Hybrids you cannot at this time, on the Hybrids an aftermarket remote start would be required.

[@artindorsangi2195]

Hello, How much does it cost? and how long does it take to install? Thanks

[@LockdownSecurity]

Please email [e-mail] for all pricing information.

[@carlosmontoya4305]

What’s the update on this video ?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Update is thieves have tried to steal this exact Highlander at least twice now, and NO LUCK, they were not successful due to the IGLA

[@davemaslen2883]

Great job guys!!

[@nandvunltdentmt]

How do i disable the anti-thieft system

[@mobgma]

Cool product!

[@dz3952]

Great product, just need an installer. Can I buy one and have Toyota install it?

[@colorsafebleach5381]

People can follow you when you are driving. You park at a store and they can get your key fob signal when parking. So even when you get out to lock your car, then shut off your key fob, they already got it.

[@cekernisan]

Hi guys. is this system compatible with a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2021? Can I still use my mobile and OEM starter if I have this installed? From what I've gathered there seem to be 2 types of IGLA product for installation. what's the difference between both and do all offer proximity Key, pin code + mobile key? thx

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes the IGLA will work with the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee (as long as it is a WK body).

[@etcetc3800]

IGLA is no longer in stock right?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Correct, we no longer carry Author Alarm products, but we do carry AUTOWATCH and Starline products. lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/collections/anti-theft-systems

How much is this?

[@bikram963]

where can I get the product ?

Where can we have this install?plsss

[@LockdownSecurity]

We can install it for you at Lockdown Security. Call us at 1-866-824-4118 or email [e-mail]

[@javybusa]

Whats the difference between the 200 and the 231

[@LockdownSecurity]

The Author Alarm IGLA-231 and IGLA-200 basically differ as follows: 200 doesn;t come with key tags (only pin code disarm) 231 does come with key tags + offers pin code disarm

[@javybusa]

@Lockdown Security got it thank you!

[@chencuenca]

How about just remove the battery from the key fobs?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Doing that will not fully protect the vehicle, and will lead you to pull your hair out with the pain of removing batteries, EVERYTIME you park the vehicle.

[@dongoggine]

With this system can you send a digital key to other authorized users via smartphone? Btw, is there a way to disable the security when you need to ( for example when you take your car for service , mechanic shop) ?

[@LockdownSecurity]

No you cannot. This system requires one of the three (smartphone, secret button code, rf key) methods to start and drive the vehicle. If you bring your vehicle to the mechanic just ensure they have the factory key along with the rf key to allow them to work on the vehicle.

[@sangee_y]

Its support honda crv 2022..?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes the 2022 Honda CR-V is supported

[@07markus]

"Igla" means "needle" in Polish :)

[@peterc8979]

How long to install?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Install of Author Alarm IGLA generally takes between 3 - 4 hours.

[@Basedboomerchadbear]

Would this work on a Lexus RX350

[@romeshkulasegaram8452]

What year is the Lexus?

[@fkhwaja]

can thief be locked in cars with unable to unlock and roll windows and call police automatically with location ?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Unfortunately no that is not possible.

[@abhishektyagi154]

Can it prevent “CAN invader” - a device car thieves use to hack into a car’s controller area network (CAN) bus ? Isn't PIN just like a password which can be over-ridden if thief has hacked CAN ?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes it can prevent a CAN hack from being able to steal the vehicle.

[@romeshkulasegaram8452]

This secures against both CAN Attack & Relay Attack. Most other forms do not address both of these.

[@wnotn]

Awesome video. Getting this for my accord from you guys!

[@operator911]

Will this work with a hybrid, PHEV or BEV?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes it will work on any Highlander

[@sickbikeparts6462]

I guess if you have a 2016-2020 Tacoma with MT and key start you don't need this, but there are other devices to help prevent theft.

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes there are other devices, we sell a lot of other systems along with IGLA

[@NoelOnYT-s7o]

Is IGLA products brand specific. Meaning will the 200 series work on Toyota or only the 231 works on Toyota? Thanks

[@LockdownSecurity]

IGLA is programmable, across the model range, so they can be used on a wide assortment of vehicle brands and models.

[@RonenLin]

What about remote starters?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Not quite sure what you are asking? If the vehicle is equipped with a remote starter system this will not affect the performance of the IGLA system.

[@RonenLin]

@@LockdownSecurity but will the remote starter still work with igla installed?

[@LockdownSecurity]

@@RonenLin Yes the remote starter system will still work with the igla installed.

[@GoaWay...]

That is how you disable the signal permanently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKkf6GGf9WSq80 After you do that, you can just use the buttons to lock and unlock the doors. The car will still allow you to start it, but have to put the fob right up to the start button or somewhere in inside the armrest where there is another signal detector.

[@raccoon874]

*nobody wants to steal my Geo Metro... fools!!! it gets 64mpg!!*

[@LockdownSecurity]

I would steal your Geo Metro, but only if it were a convertible.

[@scaragaming2495]

Its support toyota Yaris hybride 4 génération ?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Possibly, although in Canada we never got a Yaris Hybrid, so we have no experience on this particular vehicle

[@lesterpenner8786]

Better yet if Toyota would install a better anti theft system so all Toyota Lexus are protected and foolproof.

[@LockdownSecurity]

That would be great, but it goes to show, Toyota/Lexus vehicles are built so good, even the thieves can't get enough of them. We can help put a stop to that though, using the IGLA from Author Alarm.

[@JosephWulf]

Yeah sorry - not buying it. Adding another relay system (of a different technology) to a relay system... It's just as hackable as the first. Watching this video I can see three ways that I could potentially crack the system... the question is just how much time it takes. 1) brut force pin attack 2) man in the middle wireless interception 3) electronics bypass (if you know what system this is and do a quick lookup on the wiring diagrams or user guides that are freely available with a quick internet search.

[@LockdownSecurity]

All of those would take you knowing the vehicle is equipped with the system, and having the time to accomplish any of them, which in the real world both scenarios are close to zero percent likelihood. Is any anti theft measure hackable: Yes. Would someone take the time to do all these hacks for a Toyota Highlander or equivalent, when there are hundreds of thousands on the road? No, they would simply move on to the next that is not equipped. Our offerings are designed to work in the real world, one where time and convenience matters, both to the owner of the vehicle and to the thieves. We make sure our systems are convenient to use for the owner, but a pain in the a** and inconvenient for a thief.

[@JosephWulf]

​@@LockdownSecurity Thanks for the reply - definite food for thought. Unfortunately... thieves are smart -- and the more that knowledge of such systems such as these becomes available - the smarter "hacks" they will use to get the vehicle they target. (my career is in the digital world where security measures are constantly being cracked...) True - we want to make it just difficult enough that they get caught or move on to your neighbor's car instead... but the more difficult we make it to steal cars the better/more hi-tech tools they come up with.... relay theft wasn't a thing when remotes for vehicles came out... the thieves themselves don't make the tools or necessarily have the knowledge of how the relay theft works -- but the information is available and easy to assemble.... a 100v shock mechanism would be nice... until they all start wearing insolating gloves. The locks on our houses can easily be picked by anyone who studies up on how locks work.... or bypassed via a broken or open window... there's so many possibilities - and every measure has its counter-measure... what has a low probability this year has a higher probability next year. I'm mostly rambling - I'm genuinely interested in security systems, and always looking for that perfect security system (especially for my highlander.) In the cyber security world, the "most attacks aren't going to have..." rule works well until your company becomes targeted. Once targeted any information about your security systems becomes useful information that the attackers can use to gain access. True - an individual vehicle isn't worth it to a thief when there are 100s or 1000s of them on the road...

[@tahaalkurwi5295]

Sooooo what do you suggest? Just get a bike?

[@NSV610]

What would happen in the event of an armed car jacking? Suppose if I keep the IGLA fob in my wallet, coin purse and I give the armed robber just the regular OEM key fob. Will the thief be able to drive off with the car?

[@LockdownSecurity]

The IGLA does have an anti hijack mode, which can be enabled that would prevent the thief (car jacker) from driving very far away. However, this feature is something you must know how to use, as there is a risk you yourself (the driver) will have the vehicle shut down on you if this feature is utilized. However, if you understand how it works, and know how to use the feature, all is good and it works amazingly.

[@NSV610]

@@LockdownSecurity Oh ok-but I'm asking if we don't consider the anti-hijack mode. I keep the IGLA fob in a pocket. Thief comes and grabs the original car FOB while I'm on the floor with the IGLA Fob still in my possession. Can the thief still go off with the vehicle? My understanding was the IGLA fob must be within the facility while the vehicle is operating.

[@lancelemay6971]

Just turn off the FOB

[@adamackels73]

I don't see people opening the case of the fob, to pull the battery out every time they don't want it to transmit. Not a practical solution.

[@adamackels73]

I've heard of these thief's busting Bluetooth signal, and able to steal a Tesla. That's all just here say, but I wonder if it's possible?

[@lancelemay6971]

@@adamackels73 - no need to remove battery. Press and hold Lock - Press unlock twice - watch the red FOB light flash flash then flash flash a second time. Release the Lock button, FOB is now off. Test by trying to open door handle with FOB nearby. Press any key on the FOB to turn it back on again.

[@tweeker216]

Or just turn the OEM key off when you are outside the car.

[@techiegz]

All you need is a pouch or box with Faraday cage protection that blocks your key's signal emission. Since my above response, I've discovered that you can turn off your key fob as demonstrated by a dealership here, which I have been using successfully: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYjQo2SMhbprmdk

[@tahaalkurwi5295]

Not true. Rav 4 was stolen even tho the fob was faraday protected

[@RazorStrap]

@@tahaalkurwi5295 Then it wasn't faraday cage protected. A faraday cage protected key fob is equivalent to a key fob with dead or removed battery. It simply will not work. If it works, then it is not faraday cage protected. All you need is half a paper towel tube wrapped in a few layers of aluminum foil. With the foil covering one end like wrapping a gift. Drop the key fob in there and it's good as dead or removed battery. My car won't unlock even with it right next to the door. And won't start even with it in the vehicle. Great thing about this paper towel tube key fob faraday cage is that there is no lid seal to fail or fiddle with. Very convenient. Just drop the key fob in and dump it out when needed. Remove battery from all key fobs that are not being protected. I carry a spare key fob with the battery upside down or a non-conductive strip between battery and contact. The active key fob is always place in the paper towel tube faraday cage in a location away from the driveway or other area a car thief perp would have access to.

[@alb.4089]

​@@RazorStrap What happens when it's not wrapped and protected? I mean a thief can follow you to a parking lot and park a couple rows down and all they need is to copy the signal before you put the fob away and get out of the car. I turn off the fob whenever my car is parked on the driveway. I also keep the spare fob inside an empty mint container that's aluminum.

[@everydayfun9531]

That S*** aint gonna work anymore you'll need an IGLA IMMOBILIZER system now to be able to protect your brand new car and put an Old car behind the new car so it's harder for them to steal that godamm car for em.

[@everydayfun9531]

Trust me we had the Faraday key pouches and the box but they still stole it with a Key picker and they had a factory toyota Key fob and used the Tablet and OBD plug similar to plugging in a USB to reprogram the factory Key fob to that car and that's how our toyota highlander got stolen wish we added this system so that they woudnt be able to steal the car...

This secures against CAN Attack and Relay Attack. In Canada most every overnight driveway theft occurrence, committed in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Halifax are committed via Relay Attack and take about 5min. (Any areas within a 5 hour drive in Canada of a container port.)
