If in doubt, take the battery out, (of the truck of course).

Hi All, I lost a bag last week with the key fob & louse key attached.
Does anyone know if there is a fuse (or some other wizardry) that when removed will prevent starting and driven away, despite having been opened as normal.
Have been told new key could be 4 - 6 weeks, have already changed house lock but fingers crossed it cannot be traced back to home.
Any help / suggestions would be very welcome.
Regards Mick

Oh Heck, only just realised it's a D4. So I have no advice really other than to look in the handbook, if you can get at it, or indeed get the bonnet open! Others like @gstuart will be a lot more help. I stop at D2s and am not the world's best on them!

Lol, will be easiest if indeed the op can’t manage the battery , is to pull fuse 1 in the engine bay , fuse is for fuel pump

Not sure I'd manage that, not very tall and getting near 70, was hoping for something easier, wouldn't that throw all the systems out ??

?????????? near 70 isn't old, are you disabled or physical limitations?

I young and 6’ 1 and lifting a battery out of the L322 is not an easy task I would think the D4 to be in a similar place.

Ah! now that does sound fairly simple, and I'm sure any potential thief would want to be in and gone instantly, good overnight one, I'll double check in the book. Thanks very much for that advice.

are you for real? where is the battery located? How big is the darn thing?
I'm 69 and able to lift 1100 amp battery's out of my old truck which the engine bay is 5' from the ground

Can you not get your dealer to plug in to diagnostics and disable/remove the lost key from the car system. Even when you get your new key the lost key will still be out there.

Is that doable with Gap? @gstuart .

Bet yours is right up front and nothing else to take off first

I am just saying it’s not easy especially every night and then you have to do it properly and then the reconnect in the morning.
There are better/easier ways rather than knackering your back every day
