AUTHOR IGLA
Vehicle Security

A second layer beyond the factory key

On supported vehicles, IGLA can require separate driver authorisation before the vehicle can be driven. The system is concealed within the vehicle and can use existing factory controls for PIN-code entry, with key-fob authorisation available on selected models.

How IGLA works

Exact operation and available functions vary by vehicle, firmware and selected AUTHOR system.

See how IGLA PIN authorisation works

IGLA can use supported factory vehicle buttons for driver authorisation. Try the demonstration sequence below on this 300 Series LandCruiser steering wheel.

ENGINE STOPPED

IGLA locked — authorisation required

DEMO PIN:
Press VOL + → VOL + → LEFT → OK using the buttons on the steering wheel.

Build the security system around the vehicle

UCW can check the vehicle application and match the appropriate AUTHOR security system. The range can start with a covert digital immobiliser and expand to alarm, tracking and jammer-detection functions.

Covert Digital Immobiliser

AUTHOR IGLA 200 / 231

IGLA 200 from AUD $1,188 · IGLA 231 from AUD $1,276Supply & installed · inc GST

The covert CAN/LIN digital immobiliser at the heart of the AUTHOR range. IGLA can digitally block the engine and transmission through supported factory vehicle networks and requires separate driver authorisation before the vehicle can be driven.

• 1× CAN-bus / 1× LIN-bus communication
• Digital blocking of engine and transmission
• CAN-bus OBD-port blocking on supported vehicles
• PIN authorisation using supported factory vehicle buttons
• Use your smartphone as a key fob via the AUTHOR ID app
• Security card with personal code
• Multi-authorisation options
• Comfort functions such as automatic window closing where supported
• Add-on AUTHOR modules for extra security or comfort
• Installation, configuration and customer handover included

IGLA 231: same core system and installation as IGLA 200, with 2× AUTHOR security keyfobs included for automatic authorisation. The keyfobs include an accelerometer for low-power operation and a status LED.

Anti-Tamper: IGLA 200/231 can be configured to sound a siren if the ignition is switched on without authorisation. IGLA has no siren of its own, so this requires the AUTHOR Siren BT — AUD $250 installed add-on. The warning delay and siren run time can be configured during installation (30-second delay and 5-minute run time by default).

Remote activation requires installation and pairing with the appropriate AUTHOR telematics module. Vehicle-specific functions vary by application.

Alarm + Digital Immobiliser

AUTHOR Alarm (IGLA Alarm)

From AUD $2,365Supply & installed · inc GST · wired battery-backup siren included

The flagship of the range — perimeter and alarm protection combined with digital engine immobilisation over the vehicle's supported CAN/LIN networks.

• 2× CAN-bus / 1× LIN-bus communication
• Digital engine and transmission immobilisation
• Vehicle perimeter protection
• Built-in motion, shock and tilt sensors
• Digital OBD-port blocking via CAN-bus where supported
• Anti-Tamper using the included siren
• PIN, smartphone and keyfob authorisation
• Security card with personal code + 2× security keyfobs
• Wired battery-backup siren included
• Modular — additional AUTHOR equipment can be added

The battery-backup siren continues to provide an audible alarm if normal vehicle power to the siren is interrupted. Optional upgrade to AUTHOR Siren BT — +AUD $220 installed on top of the Alarm price.

Anti-Tamper timing is configured during installation. AUTHOR AR20 analogue relay integration can be used where an additional conventional circuit block is required. Remote activation requires the appropriate AUTHOR telematics module.

Universal Analogue Immobiliser

AUTHOR KVANT 2

From AUD $1,250Supply & installed · inc GST

A universal analogue immobiliser for applications where a CAN-based IGLA system is not appropriate, using its built-in relay to interrupt a standard vehicle electrical circuit.

• Universal analogue immobilisation
• Built-in blocking relay
• Three engine-blocking modes
• Keyfob, smartphone or PIN authorisation
• Anti-carjacking function
• Auxiliary electromechanical bonnet-lock control
• Installation, configuration and testing included

Designed for broad vehicle compatibility. Final installation method depends on the vehicle.

GPS / Telematics

Compass GPS

From AUD $825Supply & installed · inc GST · AUD $12/month subscription

The connected telematics option for compatible AUTHOR systems, adding GPS and supported remote/vehicle-monitoring functions.

• GPS vehicle location
• Mobile notifications and supported vehicle status information
• Integration with compatible AUTHOR security products
• Supports compatible remote functions

Ongoing service subscription: AUD $12 per month.

Available functions depend on the vehicle and paired AUTHOR equipment.

Jamming Detection

AUTHOR VOLK

AUD $385Supply & installed

A compact broadband radio-interference detector designed to identify RF jamming used in vehicle theft attempts.

• Detects interference across 100–2700 MHz
• Designed to distinguish targeted jamming from normal background RF activity
• Can trigger a siren or interface with other security equipment
• Compact concealed installation

Stand-alone / add-on security equipment. Connected siren/GSM equipment may be required depending on configuration.

Additional Equipment

AUTHOR SIREN BT

AUD $250 installed add-onIGLA 200 / 231 · Alarm upgrade +AUD $220

A compact wireless Bluetooth siren for compatible AUTHOR security systems. It provides the audible response required for IGLA 200/231 Anti-Tamper operation.

• Secure Bluetooth communication
• 80–100 dB sound level
• IP65 rated enclosure
• Can accommodate an additional blocking relay and bonnet switch

Additional equipment rather than a stand-alone immobiliser. Compatibility depends on the AUTHOR system and vehicle installation.

This is a general comparison only. Vehicle-specific support, accessory compatibility and available functions must be confirmed before installation.

Vehicle compatibility

IGLA supports a broad range of vehicles. For UCW customers this includes supported Holden/HSV applications such as VE and VF Commodore, along with many other Australian, Japanese, European and American vehicles. Send us the make, model, year and variant and we will confirm the available system and functions before booking.
