"Factory Approved Immobilizer" from Toyota?

I am so ready to buy a Land Cruiser. The GTA (Toronto) is notorious for auto thefts. I witnessed the indifferece of law enforcement twice in the last 3 years. A Lexus RX and a Ford F150, both stolen at different times was left at the front steps of my next door neighbor. My neighbor called the police, only to be late after the thief came back to drive it away. The second car was parked for 24 hours. No LE ever came. I have my security camera record both incidents right down to the time the truck was dropped off and the driver jumped in as a passenger in a following second vehicle.
I am not willing to risk my life and limb after I acquire my LC. I hope Toyota will make something like biometric security systems to secure our vehicles. I have researched IGLA system, but the dealer said it will void my warranty.

I remember there was an anti-theft program in my Buick T-Type back in the day. The tuner added it. You had to mash the brake pedal 3 times before you tried to start the car or it would never start. There were other sequences they could add too. If a tuner started offering that aftermarket these thieves would never know how to start the cars to take off with them.
 
Looks like this is available now in Canada.

This looks like just a basic nfc kill switch - no information or details on the type of wireless encryption if any is used ! Many tools are readily available in the market for cloning, intercepting, replaying etc… while it’s one layer of security, which is a good thing, the downside is you’ll have to have the fob on you ! Which means they cab force you to hand it over .. not sure if this device also blocks communication with the can bus ? .. there was a mention about Igla with Bluetooth.. well that can and should be disabled .. only PIN code (combination of buttons ) for driving away !
 
Does anyone have additional details on this new Toyota immobilizer? I'm taking delivery soon and debating the Toyota secondary immobilizer vs what my dealer describes as an "aftermarket kill switch".

Post #17 on page one, Lounge Alot pasted the manual for the immobilizer.
