Keyless Car Theft Prevention Card | Stop Relay Attacks & Key Fob Theft | Vehicle Security Guide | Printable PDF | Digital Download
Could Your Car Leave Without Your Keys?
Keyless entry is convenient, and thieves know how to exploit it. In a relay attack, they use a cheap device to pick up your key fob's signal through a door or window and pass it to your car. That lets them unlock and start the car without ever touching your keys. You're an easy target if:
✕ Your keys hang on a hook right by the front door
✕ Your fob is always broadcasting, day and night
✕ You've never heard of a relay attack
✕ There's no steering lock, no tracker and nothing visible to slow a thief down
✕ You keep the spare fob in the glovebox
✕ You post photos of your car with your street in the background
The Keyless Car Theft Prevention Card shows you simple, low-cost ways to make your car a much harder target. It works for an SUV, sedan, pickup or luxury car. Just follow it from top to bottom; no technical knowledge needed.
What's Inside
✔ Block The Signal
- Store keys in a Faraday pouch or a signal-blocking box.
- Keep fobs away from doors and windows.
- Test any blocker by walking up to the car with the fob inside it.
✔ Use Fob Features
- Turn off the fob's wireless signal, if your model supports it.
- Turn off keyless entry overnight in your car's settings, if available.
- Learn how motion-sensing fobs on newer models go to sleep when they're still.
✔ Physical Deterrents
- A steering wheel lock, a visible deterrent that slows thieves down
- Parking in a garage or a well-lit spot covered by cameras
- A tracking device so a stolen car can be located
✔ Everyday Habits
- Never leave a fob in the car, even in your driveway.
- Don't post your car and your location together.
- Install software updates if your car receives them.
✔ Pro Tip
Why a Faraday pouch is one of the simplest, cheapest ways to block relay attacks at home, and how to check that yours still works.
