Keyless Block saved me from constant worry about relay theft. Easy setup, works flawlessly, and no more signal interception risks. A small upgrade that adds huge value to modern cars with keyless entry

Big thanks for doing everything right! Got a new Lexus GS and had Igla + TOR 20 installed. Here’s what I liked:

1. The installer finished in a couple of hours, set everything up specifically for my car’s model and it shows everything works flawlessly.
2. The system connects via the CAN bus, plus the relay block is an extra protection. No visible signs of protection inside the cabin, it’s completely stealth.
3. The company’s solid like zero thefts according to stats, which speaks for itself

Igla is a reliable system for protecting your car from theft, exactly what’s needed these days. It’s best to trust professionals with the installation so you don’t run into issues later. Over the past couple of years, I’ve only had one software update—everything else works like clockwork. The service is good and the price is reasonable for this level of protection. All in all, I’d recommend it to anyone who wants peace of mind at night.

The system is completely hidden, no extra wires or blinking lights. I opted for key fob authorization but kept PIN as backup. Professionals handled the install, and it made a huge difference. Highly recommend!

For me, the pros of Igla are obvious:
✅ A modern IT solution for cars with CAN bus,
✅ Super stealthy, won’t figure out where it’s installed,
✅ Reasonably priced.
As a baseline security measure that no one has hacked yet, it scores +100 points compared to any competitor like Starline

I recently installed an anti-theft system in my car, I’m not super tech-savvy but I explained it like this: In terms of price-to-quality ratio, Igla beats its competitors. It doesn’t have standard installation patterns; each installer decides where to put it depending on the car’s make and model. Even after installation, I could not figure out where they hid it. And it’s reliable if they can’t find it, they can’t hack it. That’s the gist! Very well

With my new Toyota Isis I decided to test out a new system. It was installed and configured right away at the service center and they explained everything clearly, thanks a lot to them for that. The whole process took about two hours, give or take. One quirk was that at first, I kept forgetting about the keyfob and couldn't get into the car. Now I’ve gotten used to not forget it) and everything’s fine.

A specialist recommended to install Igla as an anti-theft device. I listened to his advice.
After installation, I set up the key fob for automatic authorization so that I didn't need to enter PIN. Still, this way is less secure so I recommend you not turning the PIN off. In general, the system works exactly as I expected

System is super! Kudos to the developers, they’ve done an excellent job! It’s clear they put their heart into it! Here are some big pluses: the system is super compact and completely unnoticeable, it integrates via the CAN bus making it impossible to detect, it doesn’t emit any signals that can be traced. The system operates flawlessly and you can genuinely feel the heightened level of security

Got Author Connect set up. Everything shows on my phone now. If someone’s creeping around my car, I get notified right away. Public parking’s less stressful ? Alerts come in fine, no bugs so far ?

I drive an older car. No fancy keyless entry, no high-tech electronics - just a good old reliable ride. But here’s the problem - modern thieves don’t care how old your car is. They always have a way to steal your car. In my case, they can simply force the ignition system to be energized, by deactivating my immobilizer. So I wanted a security system that wouldn’t mess with my car’s electronics but would still actually stop a thief. A lot of modern security solutions rely on CAN-bus technology, which just isn’t compatible with my car. That’s why I went with Author Kvant- an analog immobilizer with a built-in relay block. No complex wiring, no external signals to intercept, just straight-up engine blocking when unauthorized access is detected. I had it installed at a local shop, and it took less than an hour. The system is completely hidden, and there’s no way for a thief to know it’s there unless they start digging around. The best part? If my car isn’t disarmed with the right PIN or key tag, it simply won’t start. What really sets Kvant apart is its anti-hijack function. If someone tries to carjack you, the system allows them to drive away for a few seconds before cutting off the engine. This might sound simple, but it’s a game-changer. A thief won’t realize what’s happening until they’re far from you, making it a lot safer for the driver. I looked into other options, like standard fuel pump cut-offs or steering locks, but they all had major downsides. Fuel cut-offs can be bypassed with some basic wiring skills, and steering locks? Let’s be real - they take less than a minute to break. Kvant, on the other hand, is fully integrated into the car’s system and has two-factor authentication (key tag or smartphone + PIN). After a few months of use, I can say this - it’s low-tech in the best possible way. It's a solid, reliable security system that does its job. If you’re driving an older car and want real protection, Kvant's worth it.

What I liked: Completely hidden, no signs of thie anti-theft system

What is not liked: none

I really liked to use the author alarm. I went for it as it doesn’t just stop the car from being stolen it also protects everything around it. The system detects any movement, tilt or impact so if someone even tries to jack it up I get an instant alert on my phone.

I was skeptical about Keyless Block. Tested at my friend's service center before actually installing it. We tried a relay device on my car, it unlocked immediately. After installation of the Keyless Block nothing happened. The key signal was completely dead, and the car wouldn’t respond at all. That’s exactly what I wanted. Now I don’t have to worry about leaving my car outside overnight or in sketchy parking lots. Thieves can try, but they won’t get anywhere.

I had an old-school immobilizer, but let’s be honest, thieves know how to bypass them. With new techniques like relay attacks and key cloning, I needed something more advanced that could not be easily fooled. Igla 200 fit the bill perfectly. It is fully digital, blocks the engine via the car’s CAN system, and does not require extra devices.
Now, even if someone disables my gps tracker or manages to clone my key, they still cannot drive the car away. It is the perfect blend of digital security and ease of use. Anyone looking for an invisible but powerful security upgrade should seriously consider this device

With so many stories of cars being stolen using relay attacks, I knew I needed a serious security upgrade. I chose Igla 231 because it offers two layers of authorization: a key fob that I carry separately from my car key and a smartphone app that can be used as a backup. This way, even if someone manages to clone my key, they still cannot start the car without one of these authorizations.

What I love most about this system is that the authorization tag stays separate from the main car key. This means a thief would have to steal both items at the same time, which is nearly impossible. The system itself is completely hidden, making it undetectable even to experienced thieves. It does not interfere with any other car functions and has worked flawlessly since installation

I did not want to carry any extra key fobs or deal with complex systems, so I went with IGLA 200. This system is completely digital and unlocks the engine only when I enter a custom PIN code using the car’s original buttons. There is no need for additional devices, no unnecessary modifications to the car, and no external indicators that would give away its presence. I tested it by having a friend try to start the car without entering the code, and it remained completely immobilized. This is the level of security I was looking for
