It only unlocks the vehicle, not starts it. All they can do is rob your belongings, and they'll just smash a window anyway if they see something. Makes no odds if they could start it as they just drag them on to a transporter if they want them. Suppose being able to start one would make it easy for the opportunist but they tend to take motors they think aren't tracked, ie, beemers and Defenders etc. |

Once they get in through this keyless entry weakness, don't they plug into the OBD and then program a new key?

Unless I'm much mistaken, they've been doing this for years on remote locking / unlocking vehicles. But they'll still need the smart key to start it unless, as said above, they can plug in and code a new key to start it. I was under the assumption that feature was dealer only though for obvious reasons. |

I believe it started on Range Rovers (in this way) in 2013 with the introduction of keyless entry (L405). LR might have issued a software update to eliminate the OBD port hack, which is that people reprogram a new key via the port.

My tracker has the option to cut the power to the fuel pump via a relay, either automatically when it moves outside its geofence or when you send an SMS instruction.

I used to remove the rotor arm from the distributor when parking up my Dad's old Series 2a |

My Macan got stolen using this technology just weeks after delivery. I was actually thankful when it got written off as a result of the damage. I would never have wanted it back anyway. However, when replacing the car, I decided it was perhaps best to avoid the keyless entry and drive.

L405s now have a read-only KVM, so new keys cannot be coded via the ODB. Older L405s get the read-only KVM fitted FOC. |
