Range Rover Car Security in the UK: How to Stop CAN Bus & Relay Theft for Good

Range Rover vehicles are among the most stolen cars in the UK, with organised criminals targeting them using CAN bus attacks, relay theft, and key cloning. In many cases, vehicles are stolen from driveways in under a minute — without broken glass, alarms, or visible damage.

At Carcod Secure Ltd, we regularly protect Range Rover owners who are shocked by how easily factory security can be bypassed. This article explains how Range Rovers are stolen — and how professional car security can stop it.

Why Range Rovers Are Targeted by Thieves

Range Rovers are high-value, in high demand, and widely targeted for export and parts.

Criminals favour Range Rovers because:

• They use advanced electronic systems that can be exploited

• Keyless entry systems are vulnerable to relay attacks

• CAN bus wiring can be accessed externally

• Factory alarms can be disabled electronically

Without additional protection, even brand-new Range Rovers are at risk.

The Biggest Threat: CAN Bus & Relay Theft

CAN Bus Attacks

CAN bus theft allows criminals to:

• Access vehicle wiring via headlights or wheel arches

• Send unlock and start commands directly to the ECU

• Disable alarms silently

• Drive away in seconds

Because no key is used, traditional alarms and factory immobilisers often don’t respond.

Relay Theft

Relay attacks capture and amplify the signal from your key fob — even inside your home — allowing thieves to unlock and start the vehicle remotely.

Signal-blocking pouches alone are no longer enough.

Why Factory Range Rover Security Isn’t Enough

Factory security systems prioritise convenience, not modern theft prevention.

Common weaknesses include:

• No defence against CAN injection

• Keyless systems vulnerable to relay attacks

• Alarms that can be bypassed electronically

• Trackers that only help after theft

This is why professional, layered security is now essential for Range Rover owners.
