Why can’t they start building the receivers into the roof like Fendt.

Who would care when they get to Eastern Europe. The only answer is to make them destruct at a given signal.

Its definitely something to be mindful of when choosing a factory/fully integrated GPS vs either an aftermarket Topcon/Trimble or a GreenStar.
The latter are much easier too move about, but if are if RTK unlocked can be a £10K "please come and nick me" target left in a field or yard.

They all should be lock coded like mobile phones

I agree, ring a telephone number and simply deactivate it, bricking the thing for good.

These East Europeans are not daft and will find a way round it.
Mobile phones are supposedly secure but I heard a programme on radio saying criminals have ways of unlocking them. Stolen ones were getting shipped to Nigeria in large quantities.

...errr guys phones by their nature are connected to a network - they are two-way communications devices.
Can someone explain to me how you would go about remotely disabling a GPS receiver? Some very heavy fettling of both correction infrastructure and receivers would be needed.
Manufacturers are just happy for you to claim on NFU and flog you a new 10K tit.

Its quite easily removed. They just cut a hole in roof lining. Contractor i know had his stolen. Took the brain out his lemken drill that was on back too. Obviously knew what they were doing.
Thanks for the tag. I had a 2630 screen and 3 receivers nicked. The link takes you to the thread.
JD are still the winners out of this. They get Greenstar into new markets and get to sell new replacements over here.
Security facilities are under serious review here!

The worst thing about the saga is learning the East Europeans and Nigerians are going to be years ahead of me in the tech department....

RTK has s sim card
Not always. Some use radios instead.

Indeed they do. But there is nothing in the NTRIP protocol that would allow one to do what is being suggested.

You cut a hole in the roof lining of any Fendt built since 2011, you're faced with a steel plate, with around 12 small bolts, you then have to undo all those and undo the fixing of the receiver from the steel plate. It's quite fiddly. Also you'd have a job removing a VarioTerminal from the armrest.
By comparison removing a Starfire receiver is a walk in the park.

I Ken, but yellow belly said they should be locked, and you said they don’t have two way communication - which they do.
