Guardian Mode
Does anybody ever use it? The only time I have has been when the car has been left in an airport carpark.

Better to have than not.

Yes I sometimes need to leave a bike or two in the car at random Travellodges / Premier Inns when travelling to races and use it then in the hope it will result in me being immediately notified if anyone tries anything on (it would take them some time to remove the bike from the car due to dog rack / locks etc!).

I use it quite a lot
It’s an extra layer of security
Informs you even if someone uses the key
I have been called by the security people a couple of times to see if I want it to be tracked when I have used it in Guardian mode MY23 XS 110 D250

I got a call when on a ferry, as landcover thought my defender had possibly been stolen

- guess as it was locked, but moving, but not running was weird.

No I know to set it into transport mode when on ferry

I use it when leaving for longer periods of time or parking in unfamiliar locations. I have had glitches in the past triggering alarms to my phone - which can be quite disconcerting. But it does add extra peace of mind.

Do you subscribe to the factory security and tracker system? I have seen elsewhere that if you didn’t then you won’t get Guardian Mode. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
