The fuse is actually no 66 in the passenger compartment (see page 238 of the owners manual), 5 amp, colour tan, circuit protected: diagnostic socket. The reason I know is that when I first got the car, the dealer could not connect diagnostics via the OB2 port, only to discover that the previous owner (presumably) had pulled fuse 66. Seems like an easy solution to the keyless theft problem. 2011 Vogue TDV8 4.4

That is a fair point, and if you live in London with your car parked in the street it may not be enough. The thief still has to know where to find the fusebox, and be prepared to fiddle around in a vehicle with a broken window and maybe the alarm sounding. To make life more difficulty for him fit a blown fuse in 66. 2011 Vogue TDV8 4.4
