💡 Having a vehicle with keyless entry and push-button start does not guarantee protection against theft.
💡 Cars with push-button start and radio frequency key fobs are more susceptible to theft by organized crime.
💡 Thieves use devices that can pick up radio frequency signals from key fobs from a distance of up to 300 feet.
💡 Thieves decode and copy the fob signal onto a blank fob, allowing them to access and start the car.
💡 Stolen cars are often quickly transported overseas in shipping containers.
💡 Installing security cameras may not deter professional car thieves who wear disguises and use techniques to avoid detection.
💡 Using a Faraday pouch (a type of key fob protection pouch) can block the radio frequency signals emitted by the fob, providing an effective way to prevent theft.
💡 Research different Faraday pouch options on Amazon, read reviews, and compare prices before making a purchase.
💡 The recommended Faraday pouch is called the Wisdom Pro RFID Key Fob Protector (item number WP4694).
