I finally decided to get this done!

Installer was Michael at Diamond Auto Security Solutions, 1051 Cannons Court, Suite C, Woodbridge, VA 22191. Looks like he's operating out of the Relentless Automotive shop at the same address.

Aside: In the shop was a Neon SRT-4 and an SXT with an engine swap. I talked with one of the Relentless techs, he's just picked up a Neon SRT-4 ACR in white, no sunroof. That's exactly how I ordered mine back in 2005. So they do like Mopars.

There is a credit card fee, but I'd rather pay that way, even though it's a little more expensive.

The install was a little more than 1 hour, and was successful. I set my new PIN and got trained on the startup procedure, service mode, and the plastic tag thingie (only one in the box but I will go back if I need another one).

What I got was IGLA Silver Pro Anti Theft System. The box says manufacture date 22.05.23 which is May 22, 2023, so recent enough hardware.

If you have a newer one, we can compare the nRF, STM, Tag numbers/builds.

I'm also wondering if it would ever need a flash update, when/if there is a newer version.

Otherwise, it is working so far and seems to be doing its thing. Between the IGLA and the hub lockout, I am getting more relaxed about driving this thing around.

Most of the world outside of North America uses the DD-MM-YY convention of dates. So your date is May 22, 2023.

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.

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 am trying to learn more about the IGLA system from their website. Can't find anything on a product called "IGLA Silver Pro Anti Theft System". Their website "Product" menu lists products that seem to be a collection of different products or modules. I don't see a Pro Kit or Pro Package advertised that lists the functions or components used.

This is the US website link I looked at:
Product - IGLA US

You'd learn more from a local IGLA installer. The less info online and on the forums the better.

Great! Thanks so much.

Not sure why they are not consistent with their product branding. "IGLA 231" fits better on a small box and is indexed in the top results on google to their website. Hey, maybe this is intentional :) .

However, thieves are probably not taking their time sipping on a coffee in your car and searching the internet for your box, if they were able to discover it. So maybe not intentional :).

After reviewing some of the technical details on how the IGLA system functions, that probably should not be shared on this forum for security reasons, the system has a great anti-theft strategy.

Other benefits include expandability and additional protection in case of CAN bus interruption. Options for secure BlueTooth device pairing and Keyfob add additional convenience. The firmware can be updated as necessary to add new feature capability. The devices are small and easily hidden as part of the OEM system.

Most carjackers are probably not aware of the potential exploits of this system that every system will have. Selecting a good installer is very important. Without actually owning an IGLA system, technically, I would put this anti-theft immobilizer system on par or better than most of the best systems. (y) (y)

[EDIT - ADDITIONAL NOTES:]
I could not really find any negative user experiences or reviews other than a minor delay or the inconvenience of locking and unlocking the system using the available methods or relying on a Keyfob battery as a second method for convenience.

They claim that the IGLA system can be installed on any push-button-start system. Here is just one video that explains how the system works.
