    Are our cars safe from thieves.....

    Which? analysed data on keyless - or "relay" - attacks from the General German Automobile Club (ADAC), a roadside recovery organisation.

    ADAC tested 237 keyless cars and found that all but three were susceptible.

    The latest models of the Discovery and Range Rover, and the 2018 Jaguar i-Pace, all made by Jaguar Land Rover, were found to be secure.

    Good to know, but I'll still keep my key in one of those funny wallets which stops signals reaching them, just to be sure!

    I keep all my keys in an old microwave. Last place someone would think to look if they broke in and blocks the signal

    I think you'll find if you turn the microwave on with the keys inside and let them cook for a few minutes that might do the trick?

    2017 Discovery Td6 HSE Lux Firenze Red

    Maybe the lining and casing of the microwave oven works as a blocker. Just like any other tin box.
    But that piece of glass in it's door...not so much.

    Chaps - I think the general opinion is that the later D5's keyless theft (keyless relay type theft) is less likely as LR have improved the security, but are they still vunerable to having a window broken and somebody connecting to the ODB port and programming a key?

    I dont believe you can add any keys once the keyless vehicle module (KVM) is locked at PDI. If you loose a key and want a replacement, the dealer has to replace the KVM and programme the new keys at same time, again once locked thats it.
