I knew about the key fob signal theft happening. I own a Faraday pouch, and it works but there is an even cheaper way and that works just as well: Wrap the key fob in aluminum foil. I do that with my spare key fob and it works perfectly! I test it from time to time. I push to unlock while wrapped in the foil, and NOTHING happens because the foil breaks up the signal so it won't transmit. I also have a steering wheel lock that I use, and when I go on vacation, I remove a fuse or two as well. Oh, my ride is also a Manual transmission. 🙂

To test the box take it into the vehicle. See if it will respond to it. If it does not respond it worked. Now while it is in that box make sure you don't lock it in. Modern vehicles will prevent you from locking it in but they can't do it if they can't detect it! You can also bring the box near the vehicle and see if the doors will lock and unlock. If they do it has failed the test.

A Faraday BAG is better than a Faraday box. A Faraday bag is smaller, than a Faraday box. Bags are flexible and not as rigid as a box. Bags can easily be carried on your person or in a purse. Remember, if you are shopping in a store or dining at a restaurant, your SMART KEY FOB can be easily detected and copy-coded by a bad guy who is standing or sitting within 50 feet of you. So, by the time you finish shopping or dining, your vehicle could already be gone. Beyond vehicle theft, bad guys, with the proper electronics, can use the digital key fobs in your pocket or purse as a "tracking" device to follow you home. Faraday bags can minimize or eliminate this risk. Car manufacturers need to offer an option to replace "push-button" start systems with a physical key. One last thing, if your vehicle uses proximity sensors to automatically UNLOCK one or more doors on your vehicle as you approach -- TURN OFF that feature,because it is a safety risk.

Most keyless remote signals can be turned off. Check your owners manual or google it. If you can remember to turn it off, you don’t need a faraday storage product.

Not true, an EV charged only on solar crossed the county in only a couple months. Using DC fast chargers you can make the trip in a few days. How fast you're driving makes more difference than the charging time.

On some cars, you can disable the keyless access and have to use the buttons on the key to lock/unlock it. But it seems that some thieves begin to intercept the signal in this instance too. 😅

Just get a 5th gen 4Runner & disable the transmitter on the remote every time you lock it. 1 press lock then hold lock and double press unlock. Light on remote will flash 2x 2 flashes(4). Push start, touch unlock will not work because your FOB is no longer transmitting therefore they cannot pick up the signal.

If you're by a movie theatre they will break into your Lincoln pull your 'papers' showing your home address from the glove box. Now they have 2 hours to go work your house over with no worries. And yes, unless your Ring system and internet is on battery backup, they start by pulling your electric meter.
