5 top tips to STOP keyless car theft (protect your Range Rover) 

Holy sh1t, actual fingertips?

Indeed, devil

@@zeropointenergy777 Is that a compliment or disapproval? 🤣

Kinda sadistic

I love you

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Give us black Peoples better jobs and take us from the hood and we’ll stop.

Still Worth It To Have Such A Lovely Car..👍

Once you've bought it and parted with your cash they don't give a crap

Just buy an old School Steering wheel lock. It only takes an extra 30 seconds to arm / disarm, and is a good self defence tool should someone attempt to car jack you.

Typical , karmas a bitch

Thanks for that! I'm looking at brand-new second-hand cars. I'm considering a Camry, but they all have keyless entry and keyless start. I'll have to find out if the keyless entry function can be turned off.

Wire in a kill switch take forever to figure it out.

Wow …. I would have never thought of this! Soo crazy. I would have been an easy target. Now I will be more observant. Thank you

My car was even stolen WHILE I WAS AT THE GYM in London England.. And yes they 100% follow you and scope you out

One time codes will defeat that.

In America we call that a kill switch.

Cheap and simple, always best 👍👍

Doesn’t work on an EV

How many African countries have you been to?

@Bryan-fn6lp Brilliant comment. 1000% agreed. The ongoing car thefts over the past, too many years, needs to be stopped. I'm extremely shocked and angry that the car manufacturers haven't nicked this yet. All the info is there in your comment... now, come on, engineers, get this situation to a non-issue!!! Too many folks still haven't a clue their car is a high risk for theft. Faraday boxes etc stop working after awhile. Here in canada the theives are following car owners, copying the key signal, then just scope out the car to find the best time to just take the car. You can turn your wheels, add a steering wheel club, add a port lock, install a non gps tracking system and still...if the theives really want your car bad enough...roll up a flatbed to steel it that way. This world is so far crazy it never going to right itself....just saying. And yea, I know a few who has their cars stolen. 🙏🕊🐾

Gave Up Using The Pouch, It's A Tight Fit for the Key And Flattened The Key Battery!.

Faraday pouches do not wear out.

Funnily enough, you must be wrong because I've had two do exactly what the guy here is describing. Pouches just stopped working after about 8 months. Get a new pouch, key no longer works when in the pouch again.@@rogerphelps9939

No need for the faraday cage, you can turn off the key fob so it won't transmit the signal. On my Toyota, I hold the lock button and press the unlock key twice.

Modern thieves can unlock and start new cars without the need for a signal from your key, rendering the need for a Faraday box. I speak from experience. I believe from my research, thieves who have access to a powerful diagnostic tool/computer programs can create a key wirelessly from their devices and then start the car via the OBD port

@@AsceticFocus any tin box will do - biscuit tin etc , even just wrapping your keys in alfoil will stop them piggy backing your signal.

Get yourself an immobiliser and tracker with a steering wheel lock as a visible deterrent. This keyless function is something that doesn’t seem to be particularly desirable from a customer point of view and seems to make the cars insanely simple to steal.

​@@AsceticFocus .. not quite so. U just have TO UP the anti... OBD II Port Lock OBD2 Connector Lockout Prevents Access to Vehicles Computer Through OBD2 Connector..👍.. And all u have to do after that is simply take OUT UR battery FROM UR fob. Cant detect keyl . That's what my car say when my battery is drained. And last but not least I purchased a brake pedal lock. .. it's not that sturdy so I'm going to hone depot TO HAD some length with wood so it snuggle in to the floor. so it cant move. Not even the pedal.. .. They will have to bring the flatbed to get it.. 😊 just saying.

I mean if you can afford a Range Rover, surely you can buy a cheap faraday box off of Amazon. Good idea though.

A couple weeks ago a car was stolen from a residential car park in the Cressex area. The owner used a Faraday bag. My theory is that the thieves have now upgraded to using a CAN Bus injection attack. They access the CAN bus via the head lights and send a data packet telling the car's computer that the key is present and validated. It then opens all locks and allows the engine to be started by the thieves. What can owners do to defend against that?

@@bornachfit a ghost immobiliser. £500 all in.

Don’t wanna go down fingerprint road, people be getting fingers cut off

Range Rover deny there’s anything wrong with their keyless entry. Yet they are stolen here 1-3 a week, without any keys…… Range Rover official comment to me “we can’t be expected to beat the thieves getting cleverer” Well there you go, Cop Out!,

I'd like to see a new player to join the industry and give these same old car manufactures a wake-up call for them to change, just like what Apple has done to Nokia and Blackberry.

😂

Rolling Codes prevents this (codes used only once), but some reports say that some (bad implementations?) have been cracked (can be predicted, extrapolated).

…open the door?

Nice one Anthony 👍 better safe than sorry!

Iv often thought this myself 😤

A biscuit tin is cheaper lol!

#this This is a great point you make!

She must have met my Gran ! not only did she do that , but she had a power roller shutter at the TOP of her stairs so if anyone got in at night they could ransack the downstairs but she was safe in her upstairs rooms.

@@robertcroft8241 Now that's clever too, make upstairs a safe room! Nice one!

You could put an intelligent home timer on it so you can turn it on and off from your phone without going to the garage (and hide the switch in the garage better) and/or automate it so if you don’t want to have remember every night or forget to do it, it turns off after your bedtime and back on in the morning. If you are out very late one night and it is off when you get home in the car just turn it on with your phone from an outside location where your wifi is available

They use the relay to get into the car and then connect to the OBD to program their own fob. The car makers should be able to design the OBD to use an encrypted connection with MFA.

You'd think so Mike! Although perhaps that would mean the manufacturers would have to admit their systems are not very secure...

The dealer would say "Sorry your car got stolen... wanna buy another?"

I keep saying the same thing. They are so cheap and when ppl pay big money for their vehicles..they should supply everyone

An on/off switch would be better. Signal timing checks to ensure the actual fob is within required range of the vehicle rather than being relayed would be a nice method. Another method would be for the fob keyless entry/start features to turn off when the fob is stationary for a few seconds.

Faraday bags / pouches are useless they leak signal degrade v quickly . And lead you into a false sense of security .. . Experience talking here .. . Avoid them .. they are not the answer .

Well in the US we have the 2nd amendment and in my state of Texas we have permit to carry and be aware when u sleep dont sleep too deep and have that iron ready 😉

@@johnblack4915that sucks to be honest 😂

@@Ali-zv1yk 😄

They can still get the car, I live in an expensive area in Essex and people with gist alarms still get the cars stolen

@@leonhenry4861 fact

This is annoying as I’ve just paid £500 for a gost 2 to be fitted I have a tracker and kill switch hisdden also

But they have gps blockers also 😮

@@Nellsta buy a disc lok and also look into anti shatter windows.... You can add that effect to your glass.

Exactly, we need fingerprint or faceid features in such expensive cars. We have them for less expensive laptops and phones!

Yeah I thought the same thing, can't they wait for you to come out and get the frequency but I suppose that's why you have the other features

Everyone should get a ghost immobiliser

Need to be aware that the people who install imobilisers sometimes do other jobs on the side, if you know what i mean. Hahaha.

Insurance do ask where the vehicle is garaged, but they are asking what zip code you are parking it in. I was licensed in all 50 states, and none offered a discount for parking it in an actual garage. I suspect, this is due to the vehicle leaving that garage and being parked anywhere.

What!! That is completely bizarre. Good old Land Rovers.

You might already throw your smartphone, tablet & computer, since your personal data can be stolen at any moment. Fear is not the right motivation to stop using a feature.

How would he know that if he didn't have one?
