Some of the comments in this thread (eg the use of faraday pouches) suggest folks are confused about different types of remote lock/unlock systems. There’s the type where you push a button on the fob to unlock the car which virtually every car produced today has; and there’s the type where the car unlocks as you approach without having to touch the fob, and you don’t have to put a key into the ignition (that’s the type where some sort of screening pouch might help mitigate some of the issues). If I understand the OP’s comments correctly, this exploit applies to both types and hence could potentially affect every single car on the roads today, not just recent Jazzes.
As for the insurance aspect, firstly I’m not really sure of the value of a tracker. Wouldn’t it be better to have something that prevents the car being stolen in the first place, rather than something that (might) help it being recovered later? My only experience of car theft is that the scrotes set fire to it after they’d had their fun, so having a tracker wouldn’t really have helped. Secondly, there’s a guy from Adrian Flux who pops up on this forum from time to time, maybe he’d like to comment on whether a tracker is now considered essential for a Jazz?
