Keyless entryCars with keyless entry unlock automatically when the key comes within a short distance of the car. This can be from inside a pocket or bag. If you have to push a button on your car key to open your car, you don't have keyless entry. Keyless car theft or 'relay theft' is when a device is used to fool the car into thinking the key is close by. This unlocks the car and starts the ignition. Thieves only need to be within a few metres of your car key to capture the signal, even if it’s inside your home. This means that even if your car and home are secure, thieves can still unlock, start and steal your car. How to protect your keyless entry carWhen at home keep your car key (and the spare) away from the car, doors and windows Put your keys in a signal-blocking pouch, such as a Faraday Bag/box Turn off wireless signals on your fob when it's not being used Use a steering wheel lock or car alarm Park in your garage overnight, if you don’t have a garage park close to your home
