That is terrible. I am wondering why they would cut this hole at the rear door? Very strange!

 

Apparently thieves are able to connect to the car network by tapping into this loom to disarm the immobilizer and start the engine.

 

That’s bonkers. Connecting to the wire shouldn’t allow that, it’s not the lack of connection that should prevent that, but rather an encrypted communication requirement.

 

This is probably the same case as it was with the L494 and cutting through the rear hatch RRSPORT.CO.UK • View topic - New way of stealing L494 Range Rover Sport

 

A friend had someone attempt to steal his RR from his apartment building secure car park. They cut the section behind the driver's side plastic panel to access the wiring loom behind. He interrupted them but apparently this is a known issue.

 

That is crazy. They will do anything to steal a car, that is the first time I see such a way or hear about the access to the wiring loom in the door.
