New cars sitting at the dealer sounds like a good opportunity. But my 10 year old car in my driveway? Should I be worried or am I likely safe?

Two other easy ways to prevent theft is it pull a starter fuse or relay or buy one of these to cut off power to the battery…

Good options for long-term storage and not using for some time (vacation), but not so great for daily usage, especially where you're cutting-off power and need to re-enter various presets and pairings.

I've got a used metal Christmas cookie tin that we put our FOB's in, is this sufficient for this?

Someone in my neighbor hood had their Porche Cayenne stollen by a couple of kids in their drive way with a laptop.

Had a scanner tool. Walked to the front of the house. Picked up the key near by. Dupped the key signal and then broadcast it to the car. Unlocked, started it and drove off.

Literally like some "Gone in 60 seconds" type stuff.

That's impressive. From the factory ?


Yep. BMW's new fobs.

"The Club" might buy you an extra 30 seconds.

They might have what you're looking for.

We use their RF shielding fabric for transponder tests on aircraft.




I ordered one for my iPhone. I hope it works. MOS Equipment sells these things on Amazon and the verified purchase reviews are full of bad comments.
