MKZMark Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I just saw an article claiming that car thieves in San Fran are using sophisticated scanners to copy and boost keyfob signals. Is there anything that can be done to protect against this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if your vehicle is where you left it, then it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drolds1 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Thanks for posting the link. It seems that certain years and models are more vulnerable than others. https://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/lockcode.asp Edited February 13, 2018 by drolds1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if your vehicle is where you left it, then it does. The Amazon reviews (for what they're worth) state that the car can't detect the fob at all when its in the bag. I'll probably pick up a couple of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
