Nice! Tell Johnny that Trey, the guy who just brought in the White Tremor last week, mentioned him and Earmark here
IGLA Anti-theft device
- OP 🔹 DTX2023Tremor
- Start date
You guys realize you have a Russian kill switch in your truck? Nothing against Russians personally.
Will do!
He did mention that today he received all of the complete updates for our year model trucks...
This might come in handy when the cyber attack occurs!!
IGLA trucks may be the only ones that still function!!
Just the opposite.This might come in handy when the cyber attack occurs!!

Bad news.
They have been unable to install IGLA on my truck. Apparently, the computer system is very different from other Super Dutys. While they can read all the signals coming from the truck (doors, windows, transmission, engine, etc.), they are not able to get the IGLA commands to be accepted by the truck. Thus, IGLA cannot control the truck. They worked on this for 5 hours today - with engineering remoting into the laptop and running the show.
Bummer.
Francisco, the installer, just told me that IGLA is sending their engineering team to Los Angeles in June, and they are going to rent a warehouse to have (current count) about 30 vehicles lined up that they need to work on. If they cannot find a 2024 Ford Super Duty like mine he said he will bring them to my house.
I guess automakers are making it more difficult for external software to access and control the trucks. I wish automakers would put the same effort into making these vehicles less prone to being stolen so easily.
If something materializes earlier, I will be the first on the list to get it installed. So, if anyone runs into similar issues, hang on, I guess. For now, I am trying to hold off from going the Ravelco route, but as I get closer to my Rossmonster installation date, this may change.

He will take care of you with any issues as well. My Igla was initially pulling a hard drain on the battery, would have them down to 9 volts after roughly 12 hours, put it in service mode and the drain went away which isolated it to the Igla. I called Johnny, took it by Earmark and he emailed them right away, turns out the firmware I had installed wasn't letting the can-bus system go to sleep. Within 3 days he had an updated firmware and no issues since. I think I was the first on here to use Earmark and still highly recommend. I'm ok with something having an issue so long as the manufacturer and the dealer (in this case Earmark) will take care of whatever the issue is, I mean things happen. Some on here have complained about Igla being a Russian company, but as I mentioned, within 3 days they developed a new firmware which took care of the can-bus issue and it works perfectly now.
Is yours a 2021?
2024
IGLA install at Earmark in Plano completed today. Install took them right at 2 hrs
Johnny definitely knows his stuff. Highly recommend them
He mentioned to me that mine had brand new firmware that was completely and fully updated this week “fixing some previous issues” and was excited to get it installed.
Sounded to me like there was additional buttons included for the passcode…

Stop. Stop. Stop. Don't rubb it in so much ... lol I am so bummed that they cannot get this to work on my truck, but on other '24s.
Besides the first post of this thread, where can I find a list of authorized installers?
Talked to the IGLA installer and they still don't have any updates regarding the issues with my truck. They had originally said that some IGLA software developers will come to Los Angeles to tackle several makes and models that they are having problems with. This is now supposed to happen in July. I wonder if these are the Russian developers not getting a visa for the US (or they got caught trying to cross border down south from TJ into San Diego 
).
I give it a few more weeks, but have to really look at alternatives. Besides Ravelco there is something called Starline i96 immobilizer. Two months ago they had the same problem as IGLA. Will reach out to them as well now. Has anyone used them previously?

Get Viper! That commercial scared me so much as a kid, it prevented me from breaking into a car. The commercial did more than the alarm. I mean, look at those fangs! And those eyes. Scarrrrry

I have a Starline i96 sitting in a box. No installers and didn’t want to figure it out myself. Only cost $200 or so, so I don’t mind buying it to see if I could tackle it. The install actually doesn’t seem too bad, but then when it comes to programming the truck, or downloading the correct software for the truck you have, that gets tricky. So it sits in the box, and I dream of having something like it. When you all started talking about IGLA I was pumped because that’s exactly what the Starline is supposed to do. I will never do Ravelco because I hate extra keys, having to use keys, and I will not give up remote start capability in the 110+ degree AZ heat!Talked to the IGLA installer and they still don't have any updates regarding the issues with my truck.

I totally understand and respect your views, especially the 110 degree heat. My issue is my ignorance when it comes to software based systems, not necessarily the Starline as that is new to me. I will NEVER buy anything that has roots in Russia, for sure not a security system, unfortunately I end up with a lot of stuff manufacturered in China but that's extremely hard to avoid, ie, cell phones. But I try to control what I can control.
