IGLA Immobilizers, Installed in Toronto

IGLA is recognized by CAA, TD and Co-operators for anti-theft discounts on high-risk vehicles. It blocks the engine through your vehicle's own CAN wiring and asks for a PIN on the factory buttons before it will start, so a stolen or cloned key is worth nothing on its own.

The system and two tags

The IGLA module and two Bluetooth tags. Nothing new goes on the dash, so there's nothing for a thief to find.

About four hours of install

Done the same day at our Markham shop, by appointment. Wait with us or drop it off.

Your PIN, set up with you

We set up your code, tags and app with you before you leave, so you drive away knowing how it works.

Certificate and warranty

A certificate of installation for your insurer, and a lifetime installation warranty.

Why it costs more than a car alarm

An alarm makes noise once someone is already inside. IGLA stops the engine from running at all until your PIN, tag or phone is there, so a relay box or a newly programmed key gets a thief nowhere. Doing that means connecting to your vehicle's CAN and LIN wiring, with every connection soldered, sealed and routed with the factory loom, and that's where the four hours go.

Got a high-theft surcharge letter from your insurer? Ask your broker whether an IGLA install removes it, and weigh that against the price.

Which IGLA do you need?

Every IGLA gives the same protection. Which one you need is decided by your vehicle's wiring, not by features. We'll confirm before you book.

Author OBD Blocker

Shuts down the diagnostic port thieves use to program a replacement key. Worth adding alongside an IGLA; it isn't a substitute for one.

Try it

Try the PIN yourself

IGLA turns the buttons already in your vehicle into a keypad. Make up a code on the wheel, then try to start the engine without it.

Step 1 of 2 · Make up your code

Press 4 or more buttons on the wheel, in any order. That's your code.

Real codes can be up to 20 presses long.

  • Codes can be up to 20 presses long
  • Change your code whenever you like
  • Carry a tag or your phone and it disarms by itself
  • A unique emergency code if you ever forget

In your vehicle, you can use the steering wheel, door panel or console buttons. We set your code up with you at the install.

Four ways to disarm it

Use whichever suits you on the day, or require two of them.

Your PIN

A sequence of presses on buttons already in your vehicle. Nothing new is added to the dash, so there's nothing for a thief to find.

Your phone

The IGLA app disarms over Bluetooth when you're beside the vehicle.

Maximum security

Two of three

Optional. Require two of the three methods, so a stolen phone or tag on its own isn't enough to drive away.

Good to know

Going to the dealer or a car wash?

Service mode lets someone else drive the vehicle without ever learning your code. Switch it back when you collect it.

From a customer

They broke in. They still couldn't start it.

Brent P. had IGLA in his 2023 Ram TRX. Thieves drilled the driver's window, opened the door and got in, then tried to program a key. IGLA wouldn't let the engine start, and they gave up and left. Hotel security cameras caught the whole thing.

When he bought his next truck, he had us install IGLA in that one too.

Good to know

Recognized by CAA, TD and Co-operators

IGLA is the only system we install that all three recognize. Whether you get a discount or a surcharge removed, and how much, depends on your insurer, your vehicle and your policy, so confirm with your broker. Every install comes with a certificate of installation, which is what insurers ask to see.

We're a listed authorized IGLA dealer.

What does my insurer accept?

Had an Autowatch Ghost-II?

IGLA Canada says both systems are manufactured by Author Alarm. We installed Ghost-II for years before we stopped carrying it, and we still remove Ghost units and supply replacement tags.

Common questions

How much does IGLA cost?

IGLA is $1,349.99 installed at our Markham shop. IGLA FD Dual CAN, which is only for vehicles equipped with CAN FD, is $1,419.99 installed. Prices are before tax. Both include the system, two Bluetooth tags, about four hours of installation, setting up your PIN with you, a certificate of installation for your insurer and a lifetime installation warranty.

Extras are optional: spare tags are $99.99 each, and the Author OBD Blocker is an add-on worth considering.

Where can I buy IGLA in Canada?

Buy it from an authorized IGLA dealer, so it's installed and set up properly. We're a listed authorized IGLA dealer, and we sell IGLA installed at our Markham shop in the Greater Toronto Area, by appointment.

Tell us your year, make and model and we'll confirm whether your vehicle takes the standard IGLA or IGLA FD Dual CAN, then book you in.

Will my insurer give me a discount for an IGLA?

IGLA is recognized by CAA, TD and Co-operators. Whether you get a discount, and how much, depends on your insurer, your vehicle and your policy, so confirm with your broker before you book. We issue a certificate of installation with every install, which is what insurers normally ask to see.

Do I need IGLA or IGLA FD Dual CAN?

IGLA FD Dual CAN is only for vehicles equipped with CAN FD, a newer, faster version of the vehicle's network found on some recent models. Every other vehicle takes the standard IGLA. Tell us your year, make and model and we'll confirm which one yours needs before you book.

Does fitting an IGLA affect my vehicle warranty?

We're not going to tell you nothing gets touched, because that isn't true. IGLA connects to your vehicle's CAN and LIN wiring, so connections are spliced, and depending on the vehicle and how much immobilization you want, specific circuits may be cut as well. That's how the system does its job.

What matters is how it's done. Connections are soldered and sealed, wiring is routed with the factory loom, and we document what was added and where, so any dealer can see exactly what's in the car.

On the warranty itself: a manufacturer generally can't void your whole warranty over an aftermarket accessory. The usual position is that they'd need to show the accessory caused the specific failure they're declining to cover. If your vehicle is under warranty and you're at all concerned, tell us before you book and we'll walk through what we'd actually do on your car.

How long does the installation take?

About four hours for most vehicles, done the same day by appointment at our Markham shop. Wait in our waiting area with Wi-Fi, or drop it off. We'll confirm the time when we confirm your vehicle.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

Every system is set up with a unique emergency code, so you're never locked out of your own car. You can also disarm with either of the two included Bluetooth tags or the smartphone app, and you can change your PIN whenever you like.

Will my factory remote start still work?

Yes. IGLA keeps your factory remote start working.

Can I get a spare tag?

Yes. Spare IGLA tags are in stock, and we pair them for you. Replacement shells are available too if a tag gets worn.

Is IGLA the same as the Autowatch Ghost?

IGLA Canada answers this on their own FAQ: both systems are manufactured by Author Alarm. We sold and installed the Ghost-II for years before we stopped carrying it, and we have written up how the two compare, including price and what happens to existing Ghost owners.

Not sure which IGLA your vehicle needs?

Tell us your year, make and model and we'll confirm whether it's CAN FD, and book you in, before you pay for anything.
