Having an old L405, which JLR just don't care about, you have to do with other methods of making it hard to steal as no update is coming from JLR.

A slight word of warning with these and the battery ones as well...

I got the offer letter today for a pair of batteries, for my 2014 FFRR. I've taken JLR up on the offer.

Well that's good, maybe you slipped through the net as I'm sure it was for 2018 and later cars, maybe they are doing the later ones and then the earlier....

I had a similar pouch for a while but it became so much of a pain to take the key in and out and it was quite bulky & uncomfortable in the pocket.

The faraday pouch is for your spare key so no need to be in your pocket all day... I've been using the sleeping battery for several months and only had to wake the key once so it's not a big issue.....

Mine has been shipped, so the turnaround was very fast!

The only time the key has switched off is when I was sat waiting for the Mrs, if the engine is running it won't switch it off...

Had the letter from JLR for 'Complimentary Batteries' come today, I too have a Faraday Box and Pouch, (my safe has the spare key in it which is also a Faraday box).

If you’re the type who habitually carries their keys in their pocket, this product may not be ideal, since the battery life will be much shorter. If you habitually use a Faraday device and disable keyless entry, again they offer no additional protection, so a pointless expense: you may as well use the standard batteries.
