Yesterday I wrote to you about the ability of car thieves to use the signal from your key fob to steal your car. With more cars moving to key-less start, more Americans are exposed to this risk.

Here’s a List of Ways to Protect Yourself from Key Fob Car Theft:

  1. Store your key fobs in your freezer or microwave which are your in-home Faraday cages (they don’t have to be as impressive as the one in the image to the right to be functional).
  2. When you exit your vehicle, hit the lock button on your key fob several times to re-set the signal.
  3. Buy a storage bag or pouch that you can keep your key fobs in at home or take with you on road trips.
