These car companies worry about the silliest things and forget that they are using 30+ year old technology to keep cars secure.

You can get a pocket shield sleeve for each of your key FOB units. You can also get a small metal box, or use any type of metal container for storage of your key FOB units. When outside you can reduce the range of your key FOB by leaving it in the shield sleeve. You would have to go right up next to the car to use it. If you want to be fanatic with the FOB unit remove the battery. Use the inserted key to get in to the vehicle. Use the process to start the vehicle as like when the FOB battery is dead. Check the user manual about how to enter and start your vehicle when the FOB battery is dead.

That explains why many car owners still use a steering wheel lock. Those, usually yellow, steering immobilizers. Thieves may unlock it but not take away the vehicle

Just learned about this the hard way. Live and learn.

Stupid advise, just push lock button continuously and while doing so push unlock twice. The fob will be disabled… to enable just push unlock once and your good to go.. good luck.

A guard dog might work. But in all reality the box seem good. Soon after new technology comes out the thieves will find away to circumvent it. To bad they don't use their talents for good.

Looks like you must immediately put your keys in a metal box as soon as you exit the vehicle!

This may be one of the reasons why you get some sort of a discount for keeping a vehicle in a garage. It would make it harder for someone to just walk up to it with some device and open the doors or start it and drive it away. Some garage doors have physical locks that slide into holes in the track that would make opening the door nearly impossible. That is because even if they somehow managed to repeat the remote control signal it still couldn't open. One more thing I can do is cut power to the garage at the breaker (at the flip of a switch) and the garage door openers can't possibly work then. Now about those sliding locks, they are separate from the red handle used to open the door when the power is out and they do take considerable force to pull. If those locks are used the door is impossible to open. They are strong enough to damage the gears in the openers if you forgot that you slid the locks too so keep that in mind. Those locks work well to prevent someone from fishing a wire to the red emergency handle. It is only an emergency handle because you can use it to open the door even if the power is out, allowing you to drive your vehicle in an emergency situation. They are NOT INTENDED to prevent injuries from the door if it closes on someone (most doors will automatically stop and open if this somehow happens).

How about going back to keys!?

The best defense is a kill switch installed. Cut the fuel line or transmission circuit. Easy solution ;)

Next up thevies steal fob signals through tin boxes and can see you through your Webcam even if there's tape over it

What is the thing called? He

Where do you get the repeater boxes from I want to experiment myself

Somebody has to put a stop to these devices or they need to do a recall all vehicles to correct this problem because my mom's truck get taken away and the police is acting very slow in progress of trying to do something about it .

We use a seatbelt steering wheel lock and brake/ steering wheel lock. The dogs go crazy when they hear anything and we aren't afraid to let one out. Beware of dog sign and no trespassing signs are outside.

My Kia was stolen about a month ago? I am still waiting for Kia too get up with parts because so many Kia’ are being ripped off.

Shit just happened to my family last night, 4 cars opened. Not much money gone but garage door opener missing.

Doesn't a keyfob have to be constantly transmitting for this to be possible? Why would a keyfob need to be transponding when not actively being used? Either way, this is a problem manufacturers can easily solve.

Low life’s happened to me. Dirt bags from a garden apt in NJ such low life’s! People don’t want to believe it! I miss the good old fashioned lock and key

Simple solution cheap effective and convenient, have a tiny battery cut off power off switch/button in key so it only sends code when powered up. Without battery supply the key is just a metal lump. Car manufacturers take note. Its always the case, in quest for technology implementation simple things are overlooked

Good thing I still have my old steering immobilizer.

They Just Got my Mans, Left him Crazy

You can work on improvements but they will just find another way to brake that also it will be a never ending cycle

Those folks with the tin foil hats were right after all.

What’s the name of the device?

They are helping us find out how to do it

Something to watch out for😮

RSA one time passwords... 20 year old tech.... works.. they get a password/code but that code is used once and never again. Most gargage door opener do the same since 2010s..

I always have a bar lock on the steering wheel on my Camero.

No to rain on your parade but I highly doubt a metal box will work. For anything to work, it has to be made with the intention of blocking a wireless signal (or at least attenuating the signal so much that it can't be picked up from a certain distance. DO NOT rely on foil or metal boxes on their own. The last thing you need is a false sense of security from thinking such a generic signal blocker is all you need. It is just naive!!

She said people,that shit ain't even human

Imagine going on a date and wrapping up your key FOB in tin foil. 😳 then begin rambling about theives and radio signals

This tool could actually be usually if used for good something I would love to have

you can leave these thieves in jail when caught that is what are taxes pay for

This sounds like Misinformation. I think they can only "capture" your signal when your Key Fob is in USE not just sitting on the counter. The Thieves get near you at the Super Market Parking Lot, You open your car with the Key Fob, they Capture your Signal, follow you home, then come back later when you are asleep.

So if your neighbor does this to your car, he can get in to vandalize it.

Basically if man builds it another man can unbuild it, if a new design comes out, and there's a device available for business purposes such as a lock smith, then that device should only be available for Lock Smith's, and it should be regulated just like the silencer for a gun which you have to apply for one through the Fed's then it'll be a paper trail of who owns one.. but nooo all you have to do is go online and buy one . So basically putting our electronics in a metal box or a big asz ball of aluminum foil and the signal is untraceable?? Hum so with the alarms merchandise at stores too?? Your CELLPHONE'S too, I DONT get it, KZfaq shows a crook not only how your mom car got stolen but also how to steal it back

I carry a '70s starsky and hutch lunch box with me everywhere I go.

back to Mr Bean's technology by using padlock

What is device called? Or model number

First of all, I drive a car with start button; which means, you can't even start a car without a key being physically in the car, near you; you can't drive at all if a key is not with you! Now, I am speaking about start button technique in the cars, not every car has that feature

no the signal gets airborne when the owner of the car presses the unlock button, when that happens they fob sends a code to the cars ecm to unlock it, that same code that is airborne gets intercepted . then with a computer software program you decrypt the signal code and recode it into another key fob then you steal tha car. your welcome. Quantum computing can hack any code

hey how about keys? i bet they don't know how to use them!

I need to get one of those signal duplicators.I have a motorcycle that uses a key fob, but they only give you one and there is no other way to start the bike. The fob comes with a card that has a code you can use to get a new fob, but some idiot at the dealership lost it.

Yes its true that's why I like 1998-2004 fobs. And anti theft . the thing is get another alarm 2 or 3 way alarm. Hook up to horn to sound original Changes codes with door switches change door locks to another make as well as ignition and trunk. Either they will skip it or break the lock or try .. By then time ran out . some have towing sensors they may be annoying due to sensesitivity. And have a a killer switch hidden or push start or anti car jacking and always hide a. Fob

You gotta be a complete idiot to know about this vulnerability and still buy a touchless car

i use a cookie tin and it works well, just put your keys inside and close the lid and see if you can open your door. If you can't then their amplifier won't be able to either.

Calling BS. It’s always an INSIDE JOB and don’t forget it.

gee, thanks now i can go steal some cars.........:/ silly people...........

Remotes and keyfobs should have an on/off switch. I know some lazy people will cry, bitch and moan but TOO BAD!

😱🤬🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯

FTS 😊

At the zoo w/gf. May call ya later

I sell these high tech devices
