Thread: Locking/ securing my new perentie

Keyless entry, keyless ignition. Just like the new Prados!

Actually, a proximity key would be a neat solution for the ignition. I wonder if there are kits for those around the place?

I've seen a couple of "MASH Army Rentals" FFRs and Cargos kicking around Adelaide with regular key ignitions and locking checkerplate paneling over the floor in the back.

A large number of the reservist unit landrovers and some of the ones that were in high visability/low security positions were fitted with keys, same setup as the county.

Mine is a Survey hardtop, locks in the doors ( no keys ) and keyed ignition

Cheers

Bump ... FYI, for anyone picking up their new toy this week.

Hi All
This method was good until you all put it out into the public areana by placing in threads like this. Anyone interested in stealing one of these vehicles now only has to read one of these threads to find out how these vehicles have been secured. This method of disabling a vehicle was not common knowledge until people started to place threads in fotums, now we have all lost the advantage because pulling the fuse is useless as it is now out there fo all to see. Wake up to yourselves and stop putting vehicle security items out into the public areana, if you want to tell people about things like the pulling the fuse send a pm.

Your opinion is perfectly valid, but just like hiding number plates in photos, it doesn't automatically mean your vehicle will become thief bait. And for that I am glad!
Personally, i'm far more concerned with having items stolen from inside my rag top than the whole vehicle going missing. That's why i've insured it (hopefully) adequately.
