About Car Key FOB Protection
Vehicle Security. Defending Your Car Keys from Wireless Theft.
The convenience of keyless entry has introduced one of the most sophisticated and rapidly growing threats to vehicle ownership: relay theft. Thieves use readily available signal amplification devices to trick your car into believing the key fob is right next to it—even when it's safely inside your home. This silent, non-violent crime results in your vehicle being stolen in seconds. Protecting your car requires a definitive, physical countermeasure that breaks the digital chain of command.
The Risk: How Relay Theft Bypasses Security
Your car key fob, garage remote, or motorbike key constantly emits a low-power radio signal to communicate with your vehicle. Thieves exploit this signal in a three-step process:
Signal Capture:
One thief uses a relay device to capture the faint signal broadcast by the key fob, often standing outside your front door or window.
Signal Relay:
The captured signal is instantly boosted and relayed to a second thief standing near your vehicle.
Vehicle Entry & Start:
The car's system receives the amplified signal and unlocks, followed by the engine starting. The entire process takes seconds, and the crime leaves no sign of forced entry.
Once started, the car will continue running until it is switched off or runs out of fuel, making recovery highly unlikely.
