Auto makers need to add an alternate authentication method to activate the FOB. For example, every 24 hours you need to use a real key, thumbprint etc to renew the fob wireless activation feature. So if your car is sitting in a airport parking lot for a week, it will no longer respond to keyfobs and would require the owner to perform the authentication interaction to initially unlock it. This would be similar to how iPhone users are prompted randomly for the passcode even while using faceID.

If folks stop buying new cars and trucks for this reason, then automaters and insurance companies would be forced to come up with better solutions

[@proper_canadian1797]

That has zero to do with this. It's called technology. Something you clearly don't have a grasp on. Doesn't matter the vehicle make. Difference is ford and Dodges have cheap dud keys. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to program it. Some education for yeh

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

We need new cars to make used cars so i have no idea where your logic is coming from.

[@roylee3558]

Insurance companies are not responsible to secure your vehicle. That is your job and the manufacturer's job. The real problem here is the technology that is in vehicles. Tech is hacked within hours of its creation. If it can be programmed, a 12 year old kid with programming knowledge can reverse engineer it within a very short time. And funny enough, it is the tech that fails on a vehicle, before the mechanical parts fail.

The key fob relay attack is becoming more popular every day. Don’t leave your fob on a key hook by your front door, but instead start hiding it somewhere else in your house. Maybe a place that shields the signal from getting out as far.

Bingo. I put my daily use key in a small faraday bag, and the other spare keys in another faraday bag inside a steel gun safe, in my concrete walled basement.

Not just hide it, but wrap it in foil or put it inside of an RFID blocking pouch.
