General information
IGLA is unique device to protect your car from theft.
The device has an innovative mechanism of engine
locking that uses standard wiring of the car so there
is no additional wiring that can be easily found. The
security system can be deactivated using the key fob,
smartphone or by entering the PIN-code from the
standard vehicle buttons.
The device cannot be found by any known means.
IGLA does not show itself until the engine is started.
Moreover, due to its small size the device can be
installed almost anywhere in the car.
IGLA is a new smart way to protect your car!
Benets of the system
• Digital locking of the engine without intervention
into the car control units and circuits.
• Smart locking of the engine based on the readings
data from car sensors and car status analysis.
• The device does not show itself until the engine lock
is activated.
• The key fob, smartphone or the PIN-code that you
enter with the standard vehicle buttons can be used
for security system deactivation.
• Use your smartphone as a key fob
• Service mode (with automatic log out option) or
Transport mode
• Anti-Hi-Jack mode – locking of the engine in case of
theft by violent means
• Comfort and Ventilation options.

OPERATION CONCEPT
Security deactivation
In order to start driving you should log into the system
via one of the following ways:
• you should have the key fob or smartphone (paired
to the system);
• enter a PIN-code using the standard vehicle buttons.
If the key fob was detected (PIN-code was entered
correctly), the system will signal with indication, the
engine will not be locked and you can start driving. If
the key fob was not detected (PIN-code was incorrect
or was not entered at all), IGLA will lock the engine.
In some car models the system switches to the engine
start inhibit mode after the engine is shut off. In order
to unlock the engine you should switch on the ignition
without starting the engine (without pressing the brake
pedal), enter the PIN-code and start the engine.
The locking method (engine start inhibit and/or locking
of the running engine) depends of the IGLA system
settings and the car brand/model.
The security system is activated in 10 seconds after the
ignition is off.
Authorization with the key fob or with smartphone
ATTENTION! Do not leave the key fob (smartphone)
inside your car when the ride is over. Otherwise the
anti-theft functions will be deactivated.

6
In order to log into the system it is enough to have a
key fob (if the key fobs were included into IGLA system
set) or smartphone paired to the system (if the key fobs
were not included into IGLA system set).
Get into the car and start up the ignition. When the key
fob/smartphone is detected, the system will give out
two verication signals (see the annex), after that you
can start driving.
If the key fob/smartphone is not detected, there will
be no verication signals and if one attempts to start
driving or start up the ignition, the engine will be
locked (see page 18).
Authorization with the PIN-code
The authorization method depends on the chosen way
of engine locking, see page 18:
• If the system inhibits the engine start, the PIN-code
should be entered before the start of the engine.
• If the system does not inhibit the engine start, the
PIN-code can be entered both before the start of the
engine or after.
ATTENTION! The initial PIN-code is set by the specialists
of the service centre during the installation. Before
running the system for the rst time change the PIN-
code and memorize a new one (see page 20) .
Get into your car, start up the ignition, start the engine
if needed and enter the PIN-code using the standard
vehicle buttons*.
* Some buttons star t functioning in 2-5 seconds after switching on the ignition
or starting the engine (see the annex). Moreover, some buttons shall not be
pressed quicker than one time per second.

7
It is recommended to enter the PIN-code right before
the ride. The interval between the pressing of the
buttons shall not exceed 2 seconds. There is no
difference between long and short press of the button.
When the key fob/smartphone is detected, code there
will be 2 indication signals (see the annex), after that
you can start driving.
If the PIN-code is not correct, there will be no
conrmation signals and if one attempts to start driving
or start up the ignition, the engine will be locked (see
page 18). The second attempt to enter the PIN-code is
available in 5 seconds after the failed attempt to log
in or after turning off the ignition for 10 seconds and
starting the ignition again.
Anti-Hi-Jack mode
This mode allows to prevent the violent theft of the
car. In case of hijack it enables the engine locking when
the car is at the safe distance from the car owner.
ATTENTION! If you need Anti-Hi-Jack mode to be
activated you should switch it ON. By default, the
Anti-Hi-Jack mode is switched OFF.
In order to switch ON Anti-Hi-Jack mode do the
following:
1. Switch on the ignition without starting the engine
and enter the PIN-code to authorize.
2. Press the accelerator pedal* as far as it can go and
keep it pressed.
* For some car models other controls are used instead of an accelerator pedal
(see the annex).

8
3. Press the service button 16-times (16 indication
signals will conrm that this mode is switched on).
4. Release the accelerator pedal.
The «Anti-Hi-Jack» mode will be trigged automatically
if the following conditions are met:
• you are logged into the system (via key fob,
smartphone or PIN-code)
• the engine is running
• the driver’s door was opened for more than 3 seconds
• the brake pedal is not pressed
After the «Anti-Hi-Jack» mode was trigged by the theft
and the car has travelled 300 meters the external light-
signals* will start ashing (brake lights/parking lights
and alarm lights) warning the other drivers about the
possible stop. At the same time inside the car there will
the quickening light and sound signals.
In 20 seconds after the warning signals started the
alarm switches on (the horn signal and the alarm
lights) and the engine will be locked. The engine will
be locked only then the car stops or it has low speed
(up to 30 km/h).
The Anti-Hi-Jack engine locking can be deactivated any
time after its triggering by entering the valid PIN-code
when ignition or engine is on. The Anti-theft mode is
not deactivated if the key fob or smartphone is inside
the car – only PIN-code entering can deactivate this
mode.
* The signals depend on a car brand/model.

Service mode
The service mode is used for a temporary deactivation
of the anti-theft device when you give your car for the
maintenance (without giving away the PIN-code and
saying about the device).
It is better to activate the service mode before the
ignition or the engine is off at the end of the trip.
After the authorization (after the PIN-code is entered)
press the service button 5 times.* The interval
between presses shall not be more than 2 seconds. The
activation of the service mode will be conrmed by 5
indication signals**.
The service mode can be deactivated in two different
ways:
1. Automatically – when you nished driving and the
speed during your ride had reached 50 km/h at
least once and the car had been in motion at least 3
minutes without stops (or with stops that were not
longer than 3 minutes).
2. Manually – via entering valid PIN-code.
The double indication signal will show that the service
mode is deactivated.
After the deactivation of the service mode next time
the ignition is switched on or the engine is started you
will have to use the key fob, smartphone or enter the
PIN-code before the ride.
* See the annex.
** The signals depend on a car brand/model.

10
Transport mode
The transport mode is used for temporary switch off
the anti-theft system IGLA and in comparison to the
Service mode it can be deactivated only via entering
PIN-code.
This mode should be used when you do not want
the security functions of the IGLA system to start
automatically when you start driving and increase the
speed. This mode can not be deactivated automatically
when the speed is reaching 50 km/h.
In order to activate the transport mode one needs a
plastic card with an individual secret code, hidden
under a protective layer. The card is a part of the anti-
theft system set.
1. Switch on the ignition without starting the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal and while keeping it pressed
press the accelerator* pedal a certain number of times
as far as it can go where the number is equal to the
rst gure in the emergency code. Release the brake
pedal. The rst gure of the code will be entered.
3. Input all the rest gures of the emergency code in
the same way (see item 2).
If the PIN-code is correct, the device will pass into the
PIN-code change mode and will give out indication
signal every 3 seconds. Press the service button 5
times.** The interval shall not be more than 2 seconds.
The activation of the Transport mode will be conrmed
by 5 indication signals.***
* For some car models other controls are used instead of an accelerator pedal
(see the annex).
** See the annex.
*** The signals depend on a car model.

11
In order to deactivate the transport mode enter the
valid PIN-code. The 2 indication signals will show that
the service mode is deactivated.
Protection from key programming
Protection from key programming (key cloning) is
available for some car models (nd more info at
our web-side author-alarm.com, in section System
compatibility). This option protects the car from
programming a new chip for car key that could be used
by criminals to start the engine.
If you need to program a new car key in the service
centre the Service mode shall be switched on. You can
do it via Author Cong app or manually – press Service
button 5 times after the authorization in the system was
successful and the engine is running.
Use your smartphone as a key fob
In order to authorize automatically your smartphone can
be used as a key fob if there is no key fobs in the IGLA
system set.
The car-owner can log into the system manually via
entering the PIN-code or automatically using smartphone
with IGLA app running in the background mode.
Currently this option is available for the following phones:
iOS Android
Smartphones supporting
iOS 8 or higher
Smartphones supporting:
• Android 5.0 or higher

SYSTEM SETTING
Engine locking
The anti-theft system IGLA prevents the car theft by
stall of the running engine the engine start inhibit.
The method of locking is set automatically when the
device is connected to the car:
• for some car models only the engine start inhibit
is available;
• for some car models it is only possible to stall the
running engine;
• for others both methods are available. In order to
deactivate the engine start inhibit see the item
« Options of the anti-theft system IGLA » , page 25 .
An additional locking circuit is activated at the attempt
of driving without authorization (or in Anti-Hi-Jack
mode) when there is no data in the CAN-bus that
needed for the IGLA system or the digital locking has
failed. In other cases the activation of the additional
circuit is impossible.
To deactivate the engine locking enter the current PIN-
code or switch off the ignition for more than 10 second.
PIN-code setting
1. Make sure the ignition is switched on, the red and
the grey wires are connected to permanent power
supply «+», the device is in PIN-code setting mode
(the indication signal ashes every 3 seconds).
2. Enter a PIN-code using the buttons available for
programming (see the annex). Every click shall be

19
followed by an indication signal. The number of
clicks shall be in the range from 3 to 20 clicks. The
interval between clicks shall not be more than 2
seconds. There is no difference between long and
short press of the button.
Different combinations of buttons and their order
can be used, e.g. if you press CRUISE ON/OFF two
times and press CRUISE SET- once, the system will
save all the clicks in this order. When the PIN-code
is entered there will be 3 indication signals.
3. Enter the current PIN-code once again. If the PIN-
codes match then there will be 2 signals and the
PIN-code will be successfully saved.
If there are 4 indication signals, it means the PIN-
codes do not match and the PIN-code has not been
saved. Turn off the ignition and repeat the items 1-3
4. Turn off the ignition.
5. Disconnect the RED and the GREY wires from the
permanent power supply «+» in order to reload the
device.
6. Connect the RED wire to the power supply circuit (do
not connect the grey wire!).
ATTENTION! If the initial PIN-code is set by
the specialists of the service centre during the
installation, it is strongly recommended to change it
and memorize a new one (see below.
Device number check
This check is necessary to conrm the connection
between the plastic card with codes and the installed
device. If the open code card number does not match with
the device, the only way to change the forgotten PIN-

20
code for the new one will only be possible in a specialized
service centre.
It is recommended to do this check right after one gets
the car with the installed anti-theft system IGLA from
the service centre.
1. Switch on the ignition without starting the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal and while keeping it pressed
press the accelerator* pedal a certain number of
times as far as it can go where the number is equal
to the rst gure in the open card number (indicated
on the plastic card). Release the brake pedal. The
rst gure of the open code will be entered.
3. Input all the rest gures of the open code in the
same way (see item 2).
If the code number is correct, the system will signal
with 2 ashes. If nothing happens, that means the
number was entered incorrectly or it does not match
with the installed device number.
Change of the PIN-code
The PIN-code set in the service centre shall be changed
when the car-owner get his/her car back from the
service centre with the anti-theft system IGLA installed.
Also it is recommended to change the PIN-code if you
suspect someone has watched you entering the PIN-
code.
1. Switch on the ignition without starting the engine.
2. Enter the current PIN-code to authorize. There will
be 2 indication signals.
* For some car model other controls are used instead of an accelerator pedal
(see the annex).
