Hard to beat a locked garage with cameras and security system with alarms...;););)
Agree! I have three security cameras around my building, a gate that is similar to Ft. Knox, solid core doors on my building and additional area lighting. After reading about this theft, I am looking into additional security measures. Too much security, is just enough...

Just look into IGLA. Cameras ect won’t stop anyone. It also won’t help recover it either.

Why would that matter? They don’t even need to bring a relay, just pull the one next to it like high beams and put in its spot. Starter relay also just needs a jump between 2 spots for a second, no need for a relay. They all know this and to reconnect the red wires at the pts.
I engineered a version of "kill switch", but was aware of the above was possible. So that was the reason I armored the TIPM. They would have to spend some time forcing their way into it. It ain't pretty, but it may discourage them. I later added a padlock in addition to the TORX security bolt shown.

Does the IGLA ever need updating? Semi-srs question.
Once installed it does not need updating.

I misunderstood the meaning behind your question. I apologize. The way it was worded sounded like you doubted they would go through all of that to get the car
It’s all good… I was in disbelief at their resourcefulness, and maybe my tone was that of someone who was sure that there was more to it.

Good to hear. Didn't know if never hardware had any newer features kind of thing. Installed prior to drag week 2024 so a little over a year old. Durango getting one before the end of the year.
