Who in their right mind would want to steal a V dub? LOL! 🤣 Lexus bought probably due to reliability and 10 year warranty if you can keep it that long. In addition to the stop lock, our NX300 has a tracker and also a CAN Bus blocker.

With regard to Audi, who would want to steal a car that has working direction indicators. 🤷

Plenty of BMWs on that list though.

21 Mitsubishi Outlander who in their right mind is going to nick one of them, we had a new Outlander PHEV in 2020 it was ok but so boring it was then cheap to run Tesco charging points were free and Octopus Go on 5 pence @ kWh it nearly put me off PHEV for good.

I thought the Canbus blocker was only needed for older Lexus's - with the design fault having been fixed for recent production

It was definitely needed for the pre-2021 models. Cars after 2021 initially did not require the blocker, but thieves have found another way around the issue. However it is more difficult and theft rate for NX350 is well down on the previous model.
