Protect wireless keys - how to prevent theft

Most new cars today have a wireless key. The fact that these pose a security risk has been addressed many times. If someone wants to steal your car, it is only necessary to amplify the radio signal. Therefore, if you would like to better protect your radio key, you can do so with various measures.

How to protect your remote key from third party access

If you use a remote key for your car, you should better protect it to minimize the risk of theft. To accomplish this, shield the key when you are not driving the car. This way, you will interrupt the signal. If you don't do that, it may happen that the signal is prolonged with the help of a key scanner, thus opening your car. In this case, it is already enough to place the key scanner directly in front of your window or front door, if the key is nearby.

1. Make sure that you do not place your radio key near the front door or a window. Here, a distance of at least three meters is recommended.
2. A good way to shield your key is to put the key in a cooking pot and then close it with a lid. Alternativ ist auch ein Schlüsseltresor möglich, den Sie kaufen können. Auch dieser schirmt die ausgesandten Funkwellen vollständig ab.
3. Wenn Sie sich in der Nähe Ihres Fahrzeuges befinden, können Sie Ihren Schlüssel mit Alufolie abschirmen.
