If chevy's is any similar I don't want to cough up the cash. I am going with IGLA this week, and this is coming from someone anxious about theft but even more anxious about an aftermarket electronic leaving me stranded somewhere.
You are missing the point. IGLA, one of the better systems (I know) does nothing to prevent anyone from smashing the window and attempting the break-in to the vehicle. Why, because this is a known vulnerability in the car thievery tiktok world to attempt to steal your Camaro. You STILL GET damage and glass left, picking up pieces for the life of ownership. Once word gets on the street this has been fixed, and that they could no longer be successful that way, thefts won't be attempted as much.

JLR said it's has software updates to prevent these attack methods. Vehicles dating back to 2016 will be eligible for Free updates. The software update prevents keys being programmed by the BCM hack method and also stops external devices from being able to send commands to the car’s computer system.

So even with IGLA, also Car Lock and a GPS tracker. Call GM customer service and demand the Update. Thanks.
