After seeing some info on how easily modern cars with touch entry and push button start can be stolen using a code repeater I don't want to park my Raptor anywhere out in public. As a short term solution while I research anti theft options I have pulled the battery from my key fob. I use the keypad on the driver's door to get in, put the fob in the cupholder hole to start and use the truck, and lock the truck with the button on the inside of the door. I like this better than dealing with a Faraday cage key fob pouch.

One option I just came across is a system from IGLA that looks like it does what is needed to secure the vehicle while still allowing full functionality. I have also looked into Ravelco but after seeing IGLA Ravelco seems very old school, plus I want to be able to use remote start and don't want to carry around the plug.

Anyone have experience with IGLA?

Hope you find your solution soon. All that seems like a pain in the arse. At least you are not taking the truck battery and steering wheel with you each time.

i remember the old pull out radios. so you could take it with you when you left your vehicle so nobody could steal it

I got igla but the support was not there. They initially sent me a pre programmed unit for a different vehicle. Then after some research realized it’s likely a Russian company.. . After having more issues installing it, I gave up on it.
I highly recommend you look into something like Wialon— mainly for fleet but if you can find some distributor / installer it’s ideal. I got mine in houston
