Range Rovers are repeatedly named among the most-stolen vehicles in the UK, largely because of keyless entry and relay theft. If you own one, a basic tracker is not enough on its own — here is the setup that genuinely protects it.
Why Range Rovers are targeted
High value, strong resale and export demand make Range Rovers a prime target, and keyless entry makes them quick to take: thieves relay the key signal from inside your home, or clone a key via the diagnostic port, and drive away in under a minute without forcing anything.
Why a tracker alone is not enough
A standard tracker helps recover the vehicle after it is taken — valuable, but reactive. For a high-value, keyless target like a Range Rover, the goal is to stop the theft happening. That means pairing tracking with an immobiliser.
The recommended setup: S5+
An S5+ combines a Thatcham S5 tracker — with ADR Driver ID tags and 24/7 monitored recovery — with a covert immobiliser. Even if thieves relay or clone your key, the engine will not start without authorisation, and if the vehicle is moved the monitoring centre is alerted and works with police to recover it. It is also the level of protection many insurers expect on a vehicle of this value.
