Hey all,

anyone happen to know where I could get 1-2 IGLA Alarm stickers? The box did not come with any kind of visual deterrence and I’d like to let people know that trying to steal mine is going to be damn near impossible.
thanks for any info on these!

If you really do have IGLA installed, I would think you could notify the manufacturer with proof of purchase and install, and they would be happy to send you a couple stickers.

Not damn near impossible, way to put a target on you to get it stolen easy.
Any thing is able to be bypassed, and letting others know before attempting to steal it what you are using to protect is is very dumb imo.
 
^ I thought that as well like why advertise lol thats so they know and can go research how to defeat it. I know the thought behind it was good so maybe a thief wouldn’t bother to damage your vehicle trying steal it but this could also backfire on you.
 
Hmmm, I’m in agreement ….with using the sticker, until we hear about people by-passing it and getting their trucks stolen. Not saying it won’t happen (Ravelco), but until then thieves would sooner move to the next vehicle. The TRX forum is the first to shout out (from around the entire country) if their truck gets stolen so it won’t be long before we know. When and if that happens, then it would make sense to remove the sticker. Otherwise I’d say, good idea!
 
IGLA, as far as I understand it, is undetectable. And as long as it is installed by a competent person, it would be difficult or impossible to find without tearing the truck apart.
Ravelco makes a similar claim that it would take thieves hours to tear apart the wiring to reconnect things, but unfortunately it has been proven that it can be bypassed at the plug.
So with that said, putting up an IGLA window sticker makes it no easier to bypass. So it doesn’t hurt. But it might save you a broken window.
The day IGLA is found to be defeated, it becomes a different story.
 
Ya I have IGLA and am not sure the sticker will deter the thieves unless they know what it is. Its pretty small and subtle, but I suppose it doesn't hurt.
 
After weeks of thinking about this I have come to the conclusion that unless a damn criminal looks in the vehicle closely and seeks the Compustar motion sensor box or antenna on my front windshield they would never know that my truck is max protected by IGLA / Comouster/Drone alarms. I think the visible deterrent of knowingness that a truck has both would case most wanna be criminals to move along. What say you guyss?
Without any visual warning why not break a windows and just see what happens…..their POV?

I think I have the best solution. I hate stickers, so I keep my truck sticker-free. But when I park somewhere sketchy and want to provide a visual deterrent, I stick these in my windows (from the inside). They're just applied to a clear piece of plastic (cut from a spiral binder cover). Ignore my daughter's hands trying to fend off a would-be thief...that's my version of a trunk monkey.

Pro tip (from experience). Don't forget they're stuck in between the window and the gasket, and then roll down your window. Darn things will fall down into the netherworld inside your door.

I am in the security industry and have been for 40 years. More than one sticker tells me it's a fake. You only need ONE sticker to demonstrate that you have an anti-theft device. Anything more and I'm going to break in knowing you were just sticker happy!

Well, then they'll be wasting their time (and costing me a new window). Because all those devices are actually installed in my truck.

Maybe I could just put up this single sticker:
