How Easy Is It To Steal Any New Toyota?

[@jacinbuff]

For my Toyota peeps. If you hold down the “lock” button on your key fob and double press the “unlock” button while holding down the lock button, you can achieve the same thing. This function prevents the fob from transmitting the signal. Great for restaurant, at work, gym and home where you park it. To reactivate the fob just press the unlock button. This feature is also great when you are washing your car by hand and you are washing around the door handles and it keeps locking and unlocking. Cheers!

[@avilljr8927]

I do the same saw a video on it

[@404SRT]

I just tried it on my Corolla n it works appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@Uthetruth7]

Foil also works! I did it on my corolla & my sisters rav last night no signal but I think thry tried to steal hers through her headlights. Faraday cases & pouches also work just ordered mine today

[@rm5282]

I bought farraday pouches for my family. Once the keyboard is in the bag, you aren't receiving a signal from it.

[@idontknowwhattoputhere.]

By the way, you can disable the key on a toyota by holding lock and pressing unlock twice, and then you cannot relay theft the car. You can still unlock, lock, and start your car with the key deactivated, its like pretending your car key battery is dead.

[@nathanpinnock9541]

True. You do have to do it again after pressing any of the buttons on the key, though.

[@FilmPA1986]

Pretty sure this doesn't require a key to be present, as deactivating the key only deactivates the key, not the car. The car is what this repeater box is unlocking

[@juliemarkham4332]

I just purchased the lowest model RAV4 (2024) because came with a physical key and no button to start the car.

[@samTollefson]

I thought it was a 10 minute stop function. This is why we keep our keys in a Faraday pouch, no signal, no repeater!

[@idontknowwhattoputhere.]

There isnt a 10 minute stop function, you have to stop the fob signal manually on Lexus and Toyota vehicles. You can do it by holding lock and hitting unlock twice. Your car can still be started and unlocked with the mechanical key, and the chip inside your fob that is not prone to relay theft, and doesnt require a battery incase the battery dies in the fob. Also you can enable your key by pressing a button on your key

[@Altixis]

@@idontknowwhattoputhere.Older Toyotas do have a 10 minute stop. I just read in the manual for my 2010 Avalon that it stops transmitting after 10 minutes.

[@aerochicc]

I would retrofit my car to just a regular key in a minute if I could. This is a case where too much technology isn't necessarily is a good thing.

[@dalefrolander3583]

Your key fob is always sending a signal. To make it stop sending a signal press and hold the lock button while pressing the unlock button 2 times. Now it won't work. To make the key fob work again just press any of its buttons.

[@DUYNGUYEN-ui9uz]

Smart key fob is supposed to make things more convenience for us. Now every time I get out the car, I have to push multiple buttons??? This is suck to me. I rather have a old keyless system. They are convenient enough I think. and the repair cost of smart key system is also more expensive. Wtf!!!

[@denisdegamon8224]

​@@DUYNGUYEN-ui9uz No need to go through that. Just turn the remote of ( hold down lock button, then two clicks of the unlock button) use you manual key, hold the fob against the start button and go on. Now after you shut down the engine, just use the door panels lock button. Your fob is still off.... no problem, just repeat the above to enter and start your engine.

[@volvofreak86]

I've been saying and asking this for years now, and people see me as either paranoid or crazy, the car manufacturers needs to adress this ASAP, even if those boxes are illegal most thieves probably have a high end one since years back

The new Mazda key fobs have a sleep mode and I guess other brands must be doing it too. Some luxury brands now come with motion sensors on key fobs that will automatically turn off the fob after inactivity.

[@Glock7eventeen]

Why would they? Insurance will pay for it and they will sell an extra vehicle. Manufacturers love this

[@davidkirkham6497]

Thanks for this! Just had my 2020 Lexus RX 350 stolen this exact way! I usually never leave it outside, however, had my driveway paved & made the big mistake of leaving parked outside for 5 nights! I did not realize how easy these cars are to steal! It is ludicrous that these manufacturers r producing automobiles that r this easy to steal. I come to find out that the fob can be powered down easily, it is in the owners Manuel with regards to saving battery life, rather then relay theft protection..go figure!

[@davidcheshire127]

I sold my Charger because of the weak security system, insurance kept going up Even though my record was clean

If you park in a high risk area and can't afford to get your fancy key fob vehicle stolen, just temporary disconnect your starter relay when you're vehicle is parked.

[@Uthetruth7]

What if you have a blade key? Ppl have came to my house 2 nights in a row & have managed to get in my car but obviously wasnt successful in stealing it. I was gonna have my locks changed today until the locksmith said dnt worry about it because its not push to start & said to wrap my keys in foil or get a faraday case or pouch.

[@redneck82]

What I'm noticing is that that only works for keyless starting vehicles? I have a 2015 tundra that requires a key to start and isn't that computerized. And I was told that it's one of the least stolen vehicles out there.

[@ZayTRD]

I feel like any car with keyless entry can be stolen with that repeater box. Most definitely let’s replicate it when you get back in Houston bro. But that is crazy!

[@1PacificRedwood]

- Buy the Autolock Pro. This clever hardened steel device applies pressure between the brake pedal and the floorboard, preventing any depression of the pedal. The vehicle won't if the pedal can't be depressed regardless if you have a fob, or a Repeater unit. IF by chance a thief got the car started, the brakes are inoperable - and most vehicles won't go into gear unless the Start button and brake are pressed. The Autolock was designed by retired cops and is effective; it uses a cylindrical type key for added security.

[@idontknowwhattoputhere.]

Well, Toyota and Lexus fobs can be deactivated temporarily until you push a button. You can do it by holding lock and hitting unlock twice. Your car can still be started and unlocked with the mechanical key, and the chip inside your fob that is not prone to relay theft, and doesnt require a battery incase the battery dies in the fob.

[@brucegraner5901]

What was wrong with 1990's tech where pushing the button on your fob would do the trick instead of keyless entry? I just bought a 2023 Corolla and now I'm wondering how far away from the car do I have to be for the car to unlock or lock? If I spend the night in a motel with my car parked right outside my door is my car ever really locked? It's hard to believe insurance companies are not going to have something to say about this to various car companies and government regulators.

[@hlapanesello]

This makes me angry what are the engineers doing??? they have to do something that can block the repeater they know this will happen we are leaving in the world of criminals something must be done with this problem.

[@dp2418]

on new Toyota's you can permanently disable keyless entry (thus having to press the unlock button to unlock the car each time). For cars that don't have this function, just store your keys in metal box or away from the car (e.g. other side of the house).

[@rajibkundu5217]

Can you please share any link, how to do it, correctly and properly?

[@ALxdCr4ftPlays]

Stick wheel clamps on all 4 wheels will act as a deterrent as thieves have to spend more time.

[@davidhenriksen4368]

Press and hold the lock button and press unlock twice. It will turn off your key fob. to activate it again press either button.

[@jkljkjlkjlkjlkjlk]

Some Toyota FOBs can be turned off to prevent the relay teft. Just hold the lock button while pressing the unlock twice. You see the confirmation with two extra blinks in the FOB.

[@gerard4441]

Request?? Disable the keyless feature on the vehicle then try to unlock/start it with the clone. When keyless feature is disabled, the keyfob needs to be placed near the start button for the vehicle to recognize the rfid chip in the fob before the vehicle can start. (not to be confused with placing the key in battery saving mode so it stops transmitting the signal)

[@ironmaiden8625]

Curious; how close(range) does the repeater box need to be to the key fob?

[@Uthetruth7]

Also do those key repeaters have a memory setting? Like can they come back another night without scanning again if they did it already? Or does it have to be done every single time?

I have a 2018 Toyota Corolla that came with 2 keyfobs like yours. I tried an experiment - put the keys in the house after starting the car and I was able to drive away with no keys. The screen on the dash said the key is not detected. The keyfob communicates with the car using signals. I don't have a repeater box. It's surprising the auto manufacturers make the car drivable without a key. This could cause a rise in stolen cars

my keys are always in a pouch that blocks the signal when I am not driving my car. I have always been curious as to if I could leave my keys in my apartment get into my car and drive it and how far would I get if I could would I be able to keep driving until I turned my car off? I dont know when the battery is dead on those fobs that you can use the key to enter the car and then bring the fob against the start button and start the car this way and drive . I never liked fobs but I am stuck using one

[@jameskandler5018]

You can do that with any and all push button starts you can go out there and stretch your car even with the key the smartphone and go back and leave the key in the house and drive away and it'll say t not detect it doesn't matter what model what brand what year it is doable and just like you can drive them here to New York with that car with key not being detected as long as you do not shut it off there's no problem

[@gtech66]

Buy the base model that does not have push button start. The repeater will work on any modern car with a fob from A to Z, TK, this is nothing new and has this been this way for years. Car manufacturers are too lazy to secure their vehicles. They rather you buy a new one then to prevent it from theft. The only way to stop this is to either never use the fob in the first place, use a wheel lock (the club) or ignition lock switch. A good expensive loud alarm helps too. The sad fact is someone really wants your car, they can tow it away in seconds with a wheel lift tow truck.

[@1PacificRedwood]

- The Club is useless. Steering wheels are made from soft steel which is EASILY HACKSAWED through in SECONDS. The wheel is then bent out of shape and Club is removed. Instead of the Club, buy the Autolock Pro; this unit applies pressure between the brake pedal and the floorboard preventing any depression of the brake pedal. The car will not start unless the brake pedal can be depressed. Doesn't matter if you have a fob, no fob or a Repeater box, if the pedal can't be depressed the car won't start - but if it could, you still have no brakes thanks to this cleverly designed unit by retired cops. Secondarily, people can put the fob in a Faraday pouch OR roll them individually in aluminum foil. No amount of Repeater RF power can ping the fob and steal its code when shielded with foil or a Faraday pouch. The foil approach is essentially a Faraday cage btw.
