The post-2018 facelift cars use ultra-wideband keys which can’t have the signal recorded or relayed - so the thieves use CAN injection (on L494/L405s, they chop a hole in the right hand side of the tailgate to access specific CAN bus wires, then connect an electronic device which communicates with the various ECUs by injecting fake messages to convince the car that the correct key is there).

Problem is that for several thousand euros you can buy an OBD dongle that can programme a new key even if the alarm’s active - just pick the lock and a few seconds later, you’re away:

Ended up paying £282 to AXA for 5,000 miles.
