Why do I need an RFID Signal Blocking Pouch? Keyless cars use a number of methods but most of them rely on short-wave radio signals that alert the car to the fob’s presence when it is within range (usually no more than a metre or two), allowing the doors to be opened and for it to be started up, once the fob is inside the vehicle. The most common form of keyless car theft involves signal relaying. Thieves use a device, which can be bought cheaply online, to capture the signal from the key fob inside the owner’s house, for example, and boost it to a receiver held by an accomplice standing next to the car. This tricks the vehicle into thinking that the fob is closer than it is. The car can then be opened and driven away simply by pressing the starter button. A blank key fob can later be easily programmed to work with the car. It only takes around 20 seconds. Luckily there is something you can do to protect yourself. Faraday bags – also referred to as signal blocking pouches – are lined with layers of metallic material that can block a key’s signal from reaching the outside world. Once you’ve locked your car, simply pop the key in the bag and any would-be thieves will be leaving empty handed. Faraday bags also work with smartphones and credit cards too, so they’re useful for preventing fraud and hacking when you’re out and about.
