The Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Vogue are the two most stolen luxury SUVs in the United Kingdom. Relay attacks targeting these models occur every night across the West Midlands, London, and Greater Manchester. LockCar’s hardwired relay break provides the independent physical defence that every Range Rover owner needs beyond the factory security system.
Range Rover theft, the UK reality
No vehicle in the UK is stolen more frequently per registration than the Range Rover. The 32 thefts per 1,000 registered vehicles recorded across the West Midlands in 2024 represents a theft rate that is many times higher than any other mainstream brand. Despite a 31% year-on-year decline attributed in part to increased aftermarket security fitment among owners, the absolute rate remains extreme.
The economic motivation is straightforward. A current Range Rover Autobiography or SV specification can cost £120,000 to £200,000 new. On the used market, these models retain extraordinary values. In parts, a single Range Rover L460 can yield £30,000 to £50,000 to an organised chop shop operation. Export channels to the Gulf, West Africa, and Eastern Europe pay premiums for complete vehicles. No other mass-market vehicle combines value, desirability, and relay vulnerability so directly.
Organised relay theft gangs targeting Range Rovers operate with detailed knowledge of the L460 and L461 keyless entry architecture. They know which key fob positions within a property provide the strongest relay signal. They understand the typical parking configurations of Range Rover owners. They target specific postcodes in specific evenings. This level of organisation means that casual deterrents have no effect, and only a physical relay break that is independent of the entire Meridian infotainment and InControl system can reliably stop them.
LockCar for Range Rover L460 and L461
LockCar’s IC3ST and One Plus systems are both compatible with the current Range Rover L460 and Range Rover Sport L461. Installation follows Land Rover-specific procedures that avoid any interaction with the Pivi Pro infotainment, InControl Remote app, or factory Meridian audio system. The relay break integrates with the start circuit downstream of the InControl Remote capability, meaning even a remote start command from the manufacturer app cannot override the LockCar relay state.
For Range Rover owners who also want to retain InControl Remote’s legitimate remote start function, LockCar engineers can configure a specific hands-free operating mode where the proximity tag automatically satisfies the LockCar authentication when the owner is present, allowing InControl Remote to function normally during authorised remote start events. This configuration is discussed during the installation appointment.
How LockCar stops this threat
LockCar installs a hardwired relay break in the vehicle start circuit. This break is positioned downstream of the factory immobiliser, the OBD port, and the CAN bus. Even if a criminal performs a successful relay attack or CAN bus injection and satisfies the factory security, the engine will not start because the LockCar relay is open. Closing that relay requires a second, independent encrypted authentication that relay equipment cannot replicate. LockCar is designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom and installed by mobile engineers at your home, workplace, or any accessible location.

Installation typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Our mobile engineer brings all parts and equipment to your location. The system is fully tested before the engineer leaves and you receive installation documentation on the same day.
Will LockCar interfere with my vehicle’s factory electronics?
No. LockCar installation uses vehicle-specific wiring procedures and connects to the start circuit in a way that is invisible to the factory CAN bus, ECU, and infotainment systems. All factory functions continue to operate exactly as before.
