That's the problem with all this flash car security. It makes it so hard that they have to steal the keys to get the car. This type of thing is common in the UK.

Haha... it is my MINI contacts that told me about people being broken into and then keys stolen so they could take the car. Apparently a large number of Britons leave their keys on a table in the entry to their place next to the door......... My nephew was carjacked for his Mini Cooper at traffic lights

Many modern cars (including the MINI) have a feature where they automatically lock the first time they go 5k per hour.

The Disco can be set to lock the doors on drive away as well. I can't remember how it is done, but I think that it would be in the manual.

Sorry to hear Gordon. Neil P tipped me off when this first happened. Been quietly watching the outcome. Hope the pay-out is acceptable. You had a great rig!

what we need is a key fob that has a pin number in it,even 3 digit would be ok.Or something similar.
That would stuff up those miserable bastards that need their you no whats cut out
LR are often the innovaters ,so maybe they will come out with something to stop this sort of thing happening.
But make sure it is waterproof & reasonably simple to use....

push the little button on the indicator stalk and it will cycle through the options, auto door lock is one of them from memory

maybe like BMW in south Africa did to stop car jackers, flame throwers up the side of the car to fry the so and sos. I kid you not!what we need is a key fob that has a pin number in it,even 3 digit would be ok.Or something similar.

You are missing the point. If that happened then it would take even more violent crime to get a car. Like beating people for their pins in shopping centres, or breaking in, grabbing keys and then holding people at gunpoint etcwhat we need is a key fob that has a pin number in it,even 3 digit would be ok.Or something similar.

You must safeguard your keys to a reasonable level.
But remember, when you are eye to eye with an armed/threatening/scary scrote the car now belongs to your insurance company. Your responsibility is to your family and nothing else.
