A question to all FFRR owners in light of recent thefts...

How do you guys lock your cars?

Have you disabled your keyless entry

There is a poll attached, please click on it... Thanks in advance

Also use the keyless. Keep the keys well away from the front door though, in a foil lined box. Mrs S thinks I’m being obsessive….

I use the Keyless entry but double lock every time 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Keyless double lock, keys are kept in faraday bags.

I enjoy keyless too much to disable it, putting the keys in a bag is no hardship and the flock the signal perfectly.

At one point I had a twin axle caravan, blocked in by a Defender 90 blocked in by a Range Rover absolute nightmare of worry. Sold - Bell a 2015 MY16 Loire Blue Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

I only learned how to turn the keyless entry off last week from this video below, at which point I turned it off.

For anyone who doesn't know how, this video shows how to do so from 6.35 minutes - There's also a couple of other tips that some may find useful:

I've switched off keyless and programmed one press superlock (with chirp) using the iidtool...when the mirrors fold and the chirp sounds then i kmow its locked proper.. ... - .- -.

Double lock and use a police approved faraday pouch .

Keyless, double lock and keys in a faraday bag.

I’ve had keyless for years, paid for it as an option and even added it to the spec on my wife’s Golf R. Another car where owners are concerned about theft and keyless. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

What’s the difference between the one and two press locks?

And where do I get a police approved faraday bag?

After reading this I will make sure I am double pressing the lock. SDV8 AB MY 2020

Double lock and key with the others in a Faraday box (even though they’re UWB).

Always double lock and keep the keys in a tin. As extra precaution I use a steering wheel lock, have fitted a dummy OBD plug, and have a ram post on the drive. (Not that I’m paranoid)

I’m guessing most that get stolen only have the lock button pressed once?????
