Concerned of security with can you permanently disable keyless start and entry?
Settings or cutting a wire?

I guess you mean keyless entry - all F-Types are keyless start and if you cut the wire you wouldn’t be able to start the car either.
I believe it is a dealer action to disable keyless entry but someone may correct me on that.
Regarding start you could always fit a small toggle switch somewhere random and feed the start button through that - easy enough to get to the button cable.

Look up post from 21 Jan 2018 titled ‘disable keyless entry’, instructions there. Don’t know how to copy a link to the thread, sorry.

Found it wonder if it still works as this was on a 2014 car

1. Open driver's door (using fob)
2. Key fob inside car
3. Press headlamp button on the key fob 3 times
4. Press unlock button on the key fob once
5. Keys outside car
6. Close driver's door
7. Lock car using the fob
8. Unlock car using the fob

Same procedure again to re-enable it, except press the lock button at step 4.

I have tried this method on my MY20: It didn’t work. Car is in for its 2nd service next week and dealer is going to disable it.

Tried and failed this method on my MY16. My Jag indie said he can't disable keyless entry, so would be interested in hearing it done. As it is I'm booked for a ghost immobiliser.
