Spotted this article about security software updates for LR vehicles to improve security / reduce theft.

Just back from sea after 3 months with very poor internet connection, so I apologise if this is old news that has been covered already.

glad your back safe..


re the article, its a shame its only from 2018 onwards.....there are many 2013-2016 that need looking after.. ... - .- -.

So is it only vehicles with the dual touch screens onwards? Mine has the later ICE but still has the lower button panel. I'm never quite sure if that makes mine 2017 or 2018 spec FFRR SDV8 Autobiography

2018MY is two screens.

Wondering if this will only be offered to cars in the UK. Car theft isn’t really a thing in Switzerland but these cars are often driven across the continent for holidays etc 2018 P400e AB LWB

I guess seeing as LR won’t retail anything much older then 2018 these days they’re doing their usual trick of washing their hands of the older cars.  2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather
2007 Range Rover Supercharged in Java Black with Ivory Leather
2012 Range Rover 5.0 SC Autobiography in Indus Silver with Jet/Ivory Interior
2012 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography in Baltic Blue with Sand Interior

It'll be down to the owners of pre 18 models to sort the security out for themselves... JLR couldn't give a shiiite... The same as they were with P38a engines!

Pandora security systems look decent and preferable to the Ghost if, like me, you’d rather have an additional fob then fart about entering a code every time you get in the car.

Anyone with experience of the Pandora systems out there? 2018 P400e AB LWB

I've fitted a Meta BLE42 system that uses Bluetooth tags, nothing to do other than have it inside the car with you. I've also disabled 'keyless' entry and put a hidden switch across two wires that are critical to the vehicle starting, in the event that everything else is bypassed.

So my local service centre said they’ve never heard of the update but would be willing to give it a go at my expense. They also said that if they brake anything in the process then I would have to pay to put it right.

What an amazing off huh  2018 P400e AB LWB
