We have 2 cars in our household, both are 2003 models an Audi and a Range Rover, might sound a silly question but would we need to worry about the scanner type devices used to steal cars these days?
Or does it only apply to the newer cars?

Thieves using repeater devices to steal keyless entry vehicles is a bit overhyped.
More common to simply pop the drivers side window, lean into the car and plug a laptop into the obd port, then defeat the security, open the deadlocked doors and drive off.I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
