Fantastic demonstration on security. Loved it.

Great video guys it just shows how easy people can get sucked into buying something that won't work. Safe travels. Ken.

That was very interesting thanks for sharing take care

unintended consequences. making the vehicle more convenient to unlock and drive, has also made it easier to steal. I always thought the key fob was an idea to fix a problem than never existed. then again i never had an opportunity to use one. so maybe i am missing out on all this CONVENIENCE ahahaha 🤪🤪

Thats amazing Paul.

Paul & Cathy, what a frikken great team; Tin foil hats and all !!!! Thanks for the fantastic PS message.

"Thank you" Paul ..... Amazon got me for $37 4 months ago .... I just now "tested" mine and it too DIDN'T BLOCK the Fob signal .... Money wasted !!! So, I carry a strip of foil in my pocket, and a spare in my Jeep . Much gratitude sir !!! (Rick from Massachusetts)

You, my friend, are the mod father -- fix it. Line the box with foil and see if it works, Good luck and great video!🤠

Thanks that was an informative video. You could make a Faraday box out of a conductive metal. the lid and the bottom would have to overlap and make an electrical connection.

What I learned from my old RCMP friends, yes there are still some trustable old guts is to put a hidden battery disconect which you can set when you park in unsavoury places. In Ontario and many US places this works well as the thieves work fast but any hold up in time means they skidaddle and find an easier target. The hidden disconect should be out side the vehicle anywhere unsuspious. These disconnects disconect the ignition module like an error code and she won't start. Now if it is a Chysler don't worry it won't start anyway.

Paul and Kathy thank you for the heads up. Give the box and the bags to Kathy sell on her web site ha ha.

Paul" Part of the "Faraday" effect is that the shield (conductive shell) of the box or baf, is should be connected to a good Earth Ground. That way, any Electro Magnetic Field radiation, will be conducted to ground and "killed." That works with EMF going in or comming out. Your Aluminium foil works, because Al is more magnetically restrictive - you might say "Dense" _ Than the coper foil on the box or the mesh of the bag. In the case of the products you bought, the foil or mesh becomes a sort of antenna for the fob signal, so it still gets out, only in a much weakened state. we could talk about this stuff for hours, if you want to, but I think you've found the solution to your problem. I really enjoy your videos about how things work, or get done. I've learned a lot over the years. Thanks!

Thanks for the info.

Paul, What if you lined the box with Foil? And also the pouches would that work. My autos are older so I really don't have this problem. But I am with ya on this. You work all your life for what you have you pay big money for stuff you have. Here where I live we have valuable stuff too my Wife is priceless to me and I will protect her. My tools are valuable as is my Hatchet collection. Somebody comes to my house to take my stuff maybe in for a repair at the local ER 45s and 40 cals do leave fairly big messes. Moral of this don't monkey with someone else's monkey. Stay safe folks.

Not surprised that box doesn’t work, definitely good advice using the foil. what I am surprised about is how far that fob works from. My wife’s Dodge Journey you gotta be right there at the door for it to work, and it only will unlocked the driver door for safety so no one can jump in your passenger seat. I didn’t know that they can try to steal the signal whenever, I thought it was just when you were using it. Learn something new. Glad to see you guys back and doing well.

In Florida were going to the Swamp Buggy races and we stopped at a Wells Fargo and used the atm machine. In a few days we get a call from the bank and our debt card was compromised. Then we thought back to where it could have happened. Then we remembered there was a guy in a van and he had a card reader on the machine. We had that happen so many times while living in Florida. Everything is fine here in Missouri, so far. Line that box with lead.

Hi Paul and Kathy great video! Thank you for the great information. I own a 24 Tundra and Toyota allows you to turn off your fob by holding the lock button and then press the unlock button two times. Now your remote is off and can't broadcast the signal. I wonder if Ford or Ram as a similar feature.

That's why I like my key! I'm old fashion! Great video. From Northern Maine 🙂;]

You can also hold the lock and unlock buttons on a Toyota which disables the wireless function.

Thanks Guys. I can envision You "Modding" up your own Faraday Box ..

If somebody tried to steal from me I'd put up a fight, I'm 63 years old and a veteran.

Very informative video. Thanks for passing on your findings.

I'm just going to put my fob under my hat. Thanks for sharing this information with your users. I will keep my thoughts on the problem to myself. There is Canadian KZfaqr (GP Outdoors) who had his truck stolen because of this tech. It's no joke. They saw his truck, followed him home, and used a device to extend the range of his fob and in the morning he discovered his truck was missing. They believe it was put into a container and shipped out of Canada to somewhere far away. I will stop commenting further. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers

Awesome video Paul! I'm with you. I'm not just handing over my hard earned things. I'm going to make me a foil lined box.

You can easily fix that 'easy entry' design shortfall Paul - You can design a new accessory for attachment to any Bronko - A Hasp & Staple complete with a Padlock! One for each of the 5 doors per vehicle. Every Bronko owner should be crying out for a set of those. 🤔

And if I come by wanting one of your cars don't want Billy maybe little killer for an hour if it snows over to the local church or if it's a drive I'd go with ol blue ( the best you have ever shown on the channel)

It is a sad thing that you have to go to all of this trouble to keep what you worked for.

great video. Hard to beat good ole tin foil

Great information! Thank You!

Paul by I never understood why they got rid of the key to start the vehicle. This issue is this push button ignition and why can't you disable the key fob when you leave the vehicle. Dare will be some crowd now over to Dollar Store buying up tinfoil to wrap up dare keys.

Me Bean has it figured out. He has a latch with a pad lock. I think auto manufactures should give customers an option 1) keyless entry or 2) keyed entry as in the old way. I for one would actually buy a keyed entry if I could get it. It looks like you faraday gear is attenuating the fob signal at best rather than blocking the signal. Be interesting to put a cell phone in your faraday box and try to call it.

I had a bad key for my dodge truck that kept locking the doors every couple of seconds. I didn’t have a Phillips screwdriver small enough and assumed the battery was dying. I used this exact method to seal it off while we used the spare key to get home. A new battery in the remote fixed the problem

Well the people who steel the cars are lazy also and don’t want to half to use a key to open the door. Seems like with technology we keep taking steps backwards. Thanks for sharing.

I have that faraday bag and it works for my Lexus. There is two spots you can put the key on the inside, I think you were putting the key outside of that internal pouch.

Paul and Kathy go get a roll aluminum tape cover your faraday box 📦 and little key 🔑 bags . Paul clean 🧼 your double barrel shot gun . 😊. Iiiiii iiiii new about the aluminum trick 10 yrs ago . 😊

Buddy was probably on Facebook talking to the girlfriend the wife and the mistress trying to keep all separate by

I leave my 2023 F150 key in a Faraday bag under my back seat in a lock box. It works as otherwise I could never lock the truck as it would think I am inside. As I have a key code to enter the truck if I ever lose my key, I can get the spare under the back seat.

I think it was Land Rover who were developing a system whereby the key would just switch off if it didn't detect any movement for a period of time. That would stop scanners picking the code up while the vehicle was parked up at your address. There's really no reason for the key to be broadcasting 24/7. Try lining, or wrapping, your box in foil too!

👋

Pretty interesting.

You could have returned it to amazon if it was within one month.

nice to know

I could never buy a newer car with all the RF entry. I even removed the radio fob receiver from my 1998 Corvette. I hate this computer crap in cars.

Can you put the foil in the box to stop the signal try to let us know

Hi folks. If you carry the aluminum foil around with you be careful that a zealous police officer doesn’t arrest you for having drug paraphernalia. Cheers, John

Hey Paul, I was wondering if you could make me the exhaust mod diverter for my Kubota B2650..... Thanks!

the van did you take license plate number?

how many are sold with same result as that . might be a uneducated idea but would the fob in the pouch and put in the faraday box be better .
