Interesting how it singles out these 6 models, including the Macan. I have it on my S3 but keep my keys in a special shielded pouch.

Interestingly/Shockingly - my house with Macan on drive appeared to be 'cased' last week as the CCTV showed a suspicious motorcyclist taking photo of house/Macan! Local police informed but unable to get clear reg number of bike. I wonder if they suspect it has keyless entry and drive(which it hasn't) given the report a week ago gave Macan 'poor' rating! Subsequent report was 'superior'. Has freaked us out a little but have increased home security to prevent entry and keep keys in ' not the usual' places.

Amazing that Thatcham make a huge mistake in a report to the BBC, which millions see, and then admit the mistake in Fleetnews, which a few hundred see!

A coule of things that may be of interest

1
If I had to park on my drive rather than in a locked garage then I would take a leaf out of my Motorcycling days and fit a Ground Anchor to the drive then put the chain through a wheel of the Macan and lock it in place, thieves would have to have serious curtting gear to remove the chain the lock is a type which is fully shielded and a cutter cannot be readily used on one.

Many thanks - I think I will invest in a visible chain deterrent also.๐Ÿ‘

would not be with out my keyless entry, once you have had it you will not go without, if you have reservations what about a good old steering arm lock for about ยฃ20, these were used for years with good success long before alarms and the like.
