Vehicle Security
Good morning,
Having seen this morning on the Facebook ‘stolen vehicles midlands’ page, a D5 was stolen for its owners drive (no details how), what measures do you take if any to protect your vehicle?
Having only just had my D5 (first time owner) I’m getting a bit nervous leaving it! I was thinking of getting a disklok, anyone use these?
Thanks

Hi there, we have a stop lock for the steering wheel

We also fitted one of Ray’s RLD spare wheel protectors. Doesn’t stop your car being stolen but stops them stealing your spare wheel. Ray’s details are on here if you search

I would be finding out how it was stolen before panicking, It'st likely the thief had the keys.

The current fashion is "relay" theft of keyless vehicles.
The thieves use an electronic repeater device to trick the car in to thinking that the key which is often in the house near the door is actually next to the car so the car lets them in and start it.
The protection from this is to keep the key as far away from the door as you can and in a "Faraday" pouch that blocks the electronic signal.
The current design of LR keys (from MY2019 I think) are more cleverly designed and more resistant to this type of attack. In the newer keys, the car measures the distance to the key by how long it takes the signal to travel so the "relay" attack doesn't work because the car can still tell that the signal has travelled too far.

That isn't new to MY2019, as far as I am aware this was always on the D5. It is more likely they had the key, as harry says.

In reaction to 'relay theft' possibility, I came across LRD Securiity Keyless Protector. which is an ultra thin shaped circuit board the simply wraps around the fob battery, Apparently it is intelligent enough to decide when the fob is inactive and consequently isolates said battery thus stopping the fob from transmitting any signal.( no signal, no relay theft) Reactivation of the fob is by tapping it gently twice. £140 cost. I have contacted LRD for further and better details.

Here is the link to the test done by ADAC in Germany. The article has a link to a PDF with the test results. I stand corrected though, Discovery from 2018 onwards have this.

The keys with the newer technology (UWB) are square like the RRS and RR whereas the older tech keys are more rounded.
They phased in UWB around the globe think we've had it for two MY years now in the UK. The RR and RRS have had it since the facelift for MY18.
