Got a CAA High-Theft Surcharge Letter?

Your letter says what CAA will accept to remove or reduce the surcharge. Send it to us and we'll show you which systems we install have those features. We install them at our Markham shop and give you the proof of purchase and certificate of installation.

We're an independent installer, not affiliated with CAA. CAA decides eligibility and any change to your surcharge, so confirm with CAA or your broker before you book.

Hidden immobilizers we install

All three are hidden, professionally installed aftermarket immobilizers. The engine won't start until the system recognizes you: your PIN, tag or phone, depending on the system. The differences are how you disarm them, whether you get GPS and an app, and which vehicles they suit.

GPS and app control

StarLine S9

With the SIM and 3-year data plan you also get 4G GPS tracking and app control from anywhere. Without the SIM it's Bluetooth only and costs less. The engine protection is the same either way.

Other anti-theft options

Some letters list other options too. Send us yours and we'll go through what it lists with you.

Under $15

Faraday key bag

Keep your key fob in it at home and thieves can't relay its signal. It's an extra layer against relay theft, not a replacement for an immobilizer.

Your letter is the guide

Your CAA letter names your vehicle and what CAA will accept. Send it to us with your year, make and model, and we'll show you which of our systems have those features.

CAA decides eligibility and any change to your surcharge, so confirm the system with CAA or your broker before you book. Ask and we'll send you the system's details to share with them first.

Our advice

We give you the paperwork

Your invoice is the proof of purchase, and we issue a certificate of installation the day we install. Send CAA whatever your letter asks for, and keep copies for your records.

How it works

1. Send us your letter

Text us a photo of your CAA letter with your year, make and model. We'll show you which systems match what it lists.

3. Send CAA the paperwork

Proof of purchase and the certificate of installation, both from us. CAA makes the decision.

Try it

Try the PIN yourself

IGLA and the StarLine S9 both turn 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.

On IGLA, codes can be up to 20 presses long.

  • Built into IGLA and the StarLine S9
  • Uses buttons already in your vehicle, so there's nothing to find
  • Carry a tag or your phone and it disarms by itself
  • Your factory remote start keeps working

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

Common questions

What is CAA's high-theft vehicle surcharge?

CAA adds a surcharge to some vehicles that thieves target. If you've had a letter, it names the vehicle and what CAA will accept to remove or reduce the surcharge. CAA decides eligibility, so your letter and CAA have the final word.

Which systems do you install for a CAA surcharge letter?

Letters often ask for a hidden, professionally installed immobilizer. We install three: IGLA, the StarLine S9 and the KEETEC Rider. Send us your letter and we'll show you which match what it lists, then confirm with CAA before you book.

Will this definitely remove my surcharge?

We can't promise that. CAA decides eligibility and any change to your surcharge. We install the system, give you the proof of purchase and certificate of installation, and help you match it to your letter. That's why we suggest confirming with CAA or your broker before you book.

What do I send CAA after the install?

Whatever your letter asks for. If it asks for proof of purchase and a certificate of installation, we give you both on the day.

Can I install it myself?

Check your letter first. If it asks for a professional install and a certificate of installation, a DIY install won't give you that paperwork.

Which one should I choose?

IGLA if you want a PIN on your factory buttons and no box to find. The StarLine S9 if you also want GPS tracking and app control. The KEETEC Rider for the lowest cost on a push-button-start vehicle. Whichever you pick, check it against your letter first.

I'm with TD, not CAA. Which one works?

TD recognizes IGLA but not the StarLine S9 or the Rider. See our TD Insurance page, or use the insurer finder.

Does it void my warranty?

No. A dealer can only decline a specific claim if they can show the installation caused the fault, which is why install quality matters and why we back ours for life.
