Even if you have the Dodge key fob you will have to enter the IGLA pincode unless you have the small IGLA valet fob.

Right, but that's if you hop in the car and try and hit start.

If you use the Dodge fob to remote start the car, you don't have to enter the PIN.

EDIT: scratch that, definitely still have to enter the PIN once you get into the car after a remote start.

I don't carry the Valet FOB and also have Drone Mobile set to shut off the car if it is remote started when you unlock the doors. My installer recommended leaving the Valet FOB at home without the battery installed. This helps eliminate a car jacking with your FOB. Let them take it with the Drone and regular FOB, they won't get it started without the code, with the FOB it just starts without any code.

I like this better than what I had envisioned initially. Makes car jacking closer to impossible, this is why I won't be carrying the "valet" FOB.

With the IGLA system and you are out and about and God forbids you get carjacked, the system somehow recognizes that and will shutdown after being driven approximately 300 meters if the pincode isn't entered.

With car jacking mode turned on every time you open the driver's door while the vehicle is running and close it you then have to put in the code.

I just saw Mike Tuesday, Nov 7, 2023, and he re-mapped my IGLA whereas you have to input your pin and if you don't you will not be able to get the shifter out of park. I'm loving that setup

I re-read the IGLA booklet and has a lot of interesting items, however this one is missing.

The way it works for me now, is I enter the PIN and start the car and drive.

I'm confused where/when I need to keep it locked in park -- is that a fail-safe, just in case the neutral strap is pulled?

Got mine installed today.

Showed me how it won't let you move the shifter at all without the pincode entered. Even after jumping in after a remote start.

Apparently, the default IGLA security is "engine start inhibit."

1. If you get in with the valet key, there is no PIN required. Car starts and you can shift into drive. So, YMMV, I generally would not choose to carry this! :)

2. If you get in without the valet key, then the PIN is required to start. Shifter is locked until engine is started. I'm not sure if this is due to Dodge or IGLA. My guess is that Dodge makes it so you can't shift without the engine started, but I haven't verified that.

3. If I remote start-- I still have to try this-- the car should remote start, but the shifter is locked (again, I guess this is Dodge programming). The car is waiting for the Dodge key and start button. Due to IGLA, I have to go through the PIN entry process-- press start 2x and enter PIN, before I can activate the start button. With that completed, now Dodge unlocks the shifter.

The shifter locking is maybe an alternative process, where IGLA allows the start button to function without the PIN, but instead locks the shifter control through the CAN bus. Then the PIN entry is required to move the shifter.

I'm still learning about this, so if I got something wrong please let me know.

I believe this all IGLA.

Thanks. Do I have it right about the alternative shifter locking? It was explained to me that shifter locking is an alternative to the start button lockout.

My start button functions as normal before PIN entering. I can go through all my settings and fiddle around in unconnect if I want.
Shifter is locked in park until PIN is entered and car is started (still locked after pin but before you start it).

I thought that was the standard engine start inhibit?

jlenoch35 had his reflashed and I'm curious what got changed. I assume the start button starts the car without the PIN, but the shifter stays locked until the PIN is entered. Or maybe something else is going on?

Basically I want to make sure if my engine start inhibit is OK as-is or there is something I should add. I just assume it is always locking the shifter, but maybe I need to have the IGLA reprogrammed specifically for that?

This is the only small hassle with IGLA, I have got to figure out what it can be set up to do, from word of mouth and a minimal user manual.

I have no idea honestly but it sounds like it's all functioning the same.

I don't think they were supposed to give you the manual either. They made sure not distribute them to the public.

There really aren't a lot of functions so to speak, it just does it's one job, and that's immobilize.

Yes I had mine reflashed and everything else still works the same. No issues.
