I am informed that other high worth insurers are adopting a similar strategy to insuring LR vehicles because they have been hit hard by recent losses.

speaking as a tracker device layman, does the cat 5 or 6 tracker have its own battery supply? or does it rely on the cars 12v still being connected. i have always wondered if the thief would simply slide it up the recovery truck, and cut the battery lead, and sling a cover over it, or change the plates till its well away etc. then leave it in a pub cark park to be 'found'

The difference appears to be that the CAT 5 has Level 1 Police response and engine immobilisation.

The issue isn't with Land Rover per se, it's the fact that Range Rovers are desirable to thieves. Anything with keyless start is at risk (e.g. all the previous fuss about BMWs being stolen). |

Between them the manufacturers should have resolved this problem by now. They have enough resource to do so. MY23 D350 HSE

Agreed, suppose it's annoying for them when dealers in certain regions allow access to the criminals, who have the equipment made, which the Chinese copy, which is sold on eBay ...

Any reason the combined forces of the motor manufacturing industry haven't cracked this problem yet rather than customers taking the pain/expense?

Whilst that is true, it does mean that those who wish to use independents, either by choice or by necessity, aren't held to ransom by main dealers.

Why not engineer in the need to enter a 6 digit pin before it can be started?
