Why the Latest Land Rover Security Update Still Isn’t Enough to Stop Thieves

Why the Latest Land Rover Security Update Still Isn’t Enough to Stop Thieves!

A recent Range Rover owner was left stunned after being told his brand-new vehicle was ‘virtually unstealable’ due to the latest Land Rover security update—only for thieves to prove otherwise. Despite Land Rover implementing significant security enhancements, including updates to the Body Control Module (BCM) and the introduction of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology to prevent relay attacks, criminals continue to find ways to bypass these protections. This latest incident highlights an ongoing issue: even the most advanced manufacturer security updates can still fall short against sophisticated theft methods.

While vehicle manufacturers are making strides in improving security, relying solely on factory-fitted defences leaves owners vulnerable. The Eco Trak S5 Immo provides the missing piece in vehicle security by combining Thatcham-approved S5 tracking with advanced immobilisation technology. Unlike manufacturer security updates that focus primarily on preventing key cloning and relay attacks, the Eco Trak S5 Immo ensures that, without the authorised Driver ID tag, the vehicle simply will not start—offering a level of protection that standard security measures cannot match.

Had the owner of this stolen Range Rover been equipped with the Eco Trak S5 Immo, the outcome would have been very different. Even if thieves had gained access to the vehicle, they would have been unable to start the engine without the unique ADR Driver ID tag present. In addition, the Thatcham-approved tracking system provides real-time location monitoring, dramatically increasing the likelihood of recovery in the event of a theft attempt. In a time where car theft is becoming increasingly sophisticated, Eco Trak S5 Immo delivers the ultimate defence—because when it comes to security, no vehicle should be left vulnerable.
