Hi All,

My Defender 90 (2021) from UK origin + specs got stolen in Dubai. I have already registered a case with Dubai police and through CCTV they saw it being driven to neighboring Emirate of Sharjah but due to lack of CCTVs in Sharjah, they can't locate where it is now. They have hit a dead-end! Does anyone know of a way to locate it i.e. GPS etc.?

I also reached out directly to LandRover UK's customer service who are currently checking to see if there are any In Control subscriptions that could help.

My case officer from Dubai police told me that they recently found a Porsche after the owner got advice on how to locate it from an online Porsche forum, so I thought I might as well try doing the same as you never know if someone's solution may work.

Wish I had put an apple geo tag to it!

 

Sorry to hear that. Can't you see where your defender is at all times via the app? Mine shows where it is within about 10ft and also shows all "journeys" its made. Are you saying you don't have that enabled or can't enable it?

 

I never used or downloaded the app on my iPhone unfortunately! The only connection my phone probably has to the car is via bluetooth or CarPlay; neither of which can help me locate the car..

 

You can download the Land rover app and it may still connect to the vehicle. I would try it regardless.

 

I tried that with Land Rover's remote app but unless you don't have In Control Subscriptions, it doesn't work and to set it up now I need physical car near me

 

Sorry to hear that your Defender was stolen. lt's the first one l've heard of.

l hope its recovered. How did they steal it, was it keyless theft where the thieves somehow clone the key?
