I think keyless entry is overrated and doesn't provide any meaningful convenience, especially when taking the significant risk of theft into account. On my Range Rover Velar, which has pop-out handles, you have to walk up to the car and press a button on the handle to pop-out the handle. With keyless entry disabled, you simply press the button on the key fob as you approach the car so the handle is already out by the time you get there. More convenient, especially when it's raining!

Greetings from Los Angeles. I haven’t tried it, but I’ve seen many other videos showing how you can just wrap your key remote with aluminum foil at night to prevent signal reception by the car thieves. Car theft and catalytic converter theft is rampant here also.

The ultra wide band that Jaguar and Landrover were first to implement works perfectly to prevent the relay attack. I think this was in 2018 so you should check. The next best thing you can do is actually confirm you locked the car. So many unlocked cars get nicked! And you can also get the JLR dealer to do the updates they’ve recently made available. And finally the last thing you should do is push the insurers to do their bit now that JLR cars are secure!

Some great information here. I live in Toowoomba Queensland. Queensland is a beautiful state located in the North East of Australia, known for its stunning beaches, tropical climate, and vibrant cities. However, Toowoomba came in at number 9 out of the top 10 cities for stolen cars in Queensland. Unfortunately, vehicle theft is a rampant problem in this state with 19,250 vehicles stolen in 2022. Making Queensland the vehicle theft capital of Australia. Authorities are trying their best to curb it. Despite their efforts, some areas are still more prone to vehicle theft than others. I'm about to purchase a set of 4 Apple Air Tags now. Liked and subscribed.

I'm a software engineer and there are plenty of simple methods to make these attacks possible. That's how it's possible to make credit card payments online. The manufacturers should really know better. My 1999 BMW has ratchet encryption mechanism using passive RFID in the key which is read by the ring around the ignition. This makes it impossible to steal the car by copying the key. Even if the chip inside the key is duplicated it will not work. They don't make em like they used to!

With Ghost II the car WILL still start. However, if the correct sequence has not been executed, as soon as you put it into gear the engine cuts out. JLR security update is only available on cars after 2018

First thing I did is switch off keyless entry in my L494. The minor convenience of keyless is really not worth it. Also had the Ghost and tracker swapped over from my M2. I use a disclock, problem is I’ve read they can very easily be defeated with some outside of the box tactics.

The steering lock you used is better than nothing but thieves cut the steering wheel and pull the lock off, a Disklok that covers the whole wheel is better. You can also get OBD port locks, which helps and finally a hidden switch or key fob to turn disconnect the fuel pump is a cheaper option than a ghost for older cars.

Keys that sleep when they are still and motionless would be the simple answer, no movement of the key = no signal, instead let's all spend a ton of cash re-inventing the ways it's done and charge it onto the customer with a system that will eventually also be overcome as well.

@thedoctorsgarage

Hi Paul, the trackers are great in the Range Rover but the idea behind the air tag is to hide it where they can’t find it. I believe thieves often know how to remove/ block the factory trackers.

@MrMarshpaul 7 ай бұрын
@@thedoctorsgarage if you install a pandora its pretty impossible to block or find the tracker plus it has 2 immobilisers .Also if by chance the thief has an iPhone it will tell them there is an air tag in the car. But i think the main reason its not worth it is the police will not make it a priority to find it and will probably be to late and stripped for parts if they do.

Yes that’s true- taking the speaker out is quite simple but it may still notify the thief on their phone “you are being tracked” I suppose they then have to find it in the car and I hope By that point you’d know the car was stolen and could at least see where they had got to!
