It sort of worked. Unfortunately not well enough to be permanent.

| This seems to be a common problem with early RRS & D3 where the keys making up the keypad on the radio console break. LR do not supply individual keys - and pretty much the only option is to repl ... |

In my simplistic world that means that it is permanently live. Is that correct?
Yup! - so long as the ignition is actually off. Some stuff stays powered for some time after. However, on mine th ... |

You're right - but you can usually force the ignition barrel and then the only thing stopping it is the immobiliser built in to the key. Program the car to accept your key and youre away.

Aware that it's pretty easy to steal a RRS by sniffing the key to open the truck then plugging in to the OBD port and using it to program a new key, I've designed a lock for the port!
