    Range Rover owners, have you considered switching to a Toyota Land Cruiser, Prado, FJ Cruiser, a Mitsubishi, even a Merc G Wagon? Nah, perhaps not. If you really want/need a heavy duty off-roader, surely there are vehicles that are less likely to be stolen that are a lot cheaper to insure. But I repeat myself.

    The very latest keyless technology is now available UWB (Ultra Wide Band) this makes wireless relay attacks impossible, I won’t bother giving the technical explanation but you can look it up. Unfortunately the thieves will probably just kick in your front door and threaten you to give up the keys but they are much more likely to be caught and given a longer prison sentence.

    Great video thanks for the info, The prevalence of Range Rover thefts has raised concerns, and there are a few factors contributing to this trend. These luxury vehicles often come with sophisticated technology that can be attractive to skilled thieves looking to bypass security systems. Moreover, the demand for Range Rover parts on the black market adds to the allure. To safeguard your Range Rover, consider investing in advanced security systems, using visible deterrents like steering wheel locks, and parking in well-lit areas. Storing keys securely, utilizing a garage, and staying informed about the latest security measures are also crucial steps. While no method guarantees absolute protection, adopting a combination of these strategies can significantly reduce the risk of theft. Stay vigilant and proactive in safeguarding your valuable vehicle.
