For owners of prestige SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover or BMW X5, protection is as important as performance. The criminal landscape is changing: rather than smashing windows, thieves now exploit keyless systems. If your vehicle lacks the right countermeasures, it’s vulnerable from the moment it’s parked.
What UK policing is seeing
Several police forces have flagged a sharp rise in relay thefts. In the West Midlands, for example, forces warn that thieves use devices to amplify or intercept signals from key fobs still inside the owner’s home, tricking the car into thinking its key is present. westmidlands.police.uk
In Hampshire, a surge in keyless thefts in Basingstoke saw a number of high‑value SUVs taken from driveways — with no forced entry, and suspected relay attacks. hampshire.police.uk
Such thefts are increasingly common. Even as new laws are introduced to ban certain criminal devices, vehicle owners can’t wait — they must act now. Autocar
Why Smartrack should be your go‑to
At stolencartrackers.co.uk, we specialise in Smartrack systems — ideal for high‑value vehicles like your Cayenne. (If you wish to explore other brands, see our sister site gps‑cartrackers.com.)
Here’s why Smartrack is effective:
-
Smartrack S5: Offers real‑time GPS tracking, constant monitoring, and immediate alerts if the vehicle moves outside of allowed zones or without an authorised ADR tag.
-
Smartrack iMob: Provides tag‑activated immobilisation. Without the correct tag or matching device, the engine won’t start — even if someone has duplicated your key fob.
These two systems alone form a strong barrier. A thief might exploit one vulnerability, but Smartrack gives you the upper hand with instant alerts and disabled systems.
Reinforcing Smartrack with smart practices
-
Always store your key fobs away from windows or external doors. Use a Faraday pouch to block signals when not in use.
-
Park securely: a locked garage, gated driveway or well‑lit area with CCTV is much safer than a random street location.
-
Visible deterrents help: decals, steering or pedal locks, and alert signs can discourage opportunists.
-
Professional, covert installation is essential. Modules hidden in non‑obvious wiring paths make them much harder to find and disable.
