Here are some tips on how to protect your car from keyless entry theft:
1. Store your key fobs in a signal-blocking pouch.
Signal-blocking pouches, also known as Faraday cages, block the radio signals emitted by your key fob, preventing thieves from amplifying the signal and unlocking your car. You can find Faraday pouches online or at most auto parts stores.
2. Disable keyless entry when you're not using your car.
Many cars with keyless entry have a setting that allows you to disable the feature. This is a good option if you're parking your car in a high-crime area or if you're going to be away from your car for an extended period of time.
3. Keep your spare key in a safe place that is not in your car.
If a thief breaks into your car and steals your purse or wallet, they won't be able to steal your spare key if it's not in there. A good place to keep your spare key is at home with a trusted friend or family member.
4. Park in well-lit areas and close to security cameras.
Thieves are less likely to target cars that are parked in well-lit areas or close to security cameras. If possible, park your car in a garage or carport.
5. Be aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police.
