Surely the whole point of keyless entry systems is that you do not need to keep fishing the key out of your pocket / faraday pouch in order to open and start you car?

However, it's also not convenient to check that no-one with ~40 metres has the necessary kit to clone your key's signal.

Would be a lot easier just to switch the keyless malarkie off. You can easily do it on some D4’s, but not all. Worth doing the unlock 3 times then lights trick. At least that’s what I vaguely remember.
I remember when Land Rovers did not have any locks on doors at all. Some did not even have doors!A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

And the D4 heating issues could be a throwback to when LRs didn’t have any heaters.

Johnny . Was this email in relation to your D4 or some other Landrover you have?
Thanks
Hi Gary, I'm going to guess it was in relation to a (dreadful) Discovery Sport which I foolishly bought after trading in my D3 - it was a 2016 car. 6 months later I sold it and bought my current 2014 D4 - all from main dealer network.2014 D4 HSE Facelift Corris Grey

If you all had a 2018MY> D5 \ RRS \ FFRR or 2020-1MY rest of the range you would be relatively OK as they have ultra-wide-band radio technology.
I say relatively because most cars I've seen on the roads have windows 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

LR could start to repair their image if they offered to switch the keyless option off free of charge, now they accept there is an issue.
I have tried all suggestions to turn mine off without any luck.
