This method lets two criminals work together to steal your car. The first thief who is standing close to your home, uses equipment to boost the signal of a key fob. He then transmits this amplified signal to the second thief who is standing near your car. The second thief could use their device to mimic your fob's signal and unlock the car was stolen with keys inside or start the engine and take off with the car.
Online devices are accessible at a low cost. They can be utilized on any type of car including the most modern SUVs to the older Honda Civics. Certain types of vehicles are more at risk than others. Criminals target vehicles that are highly sought after by thieves due to their high resale value or the ease with the ability to dismantle them. It is recommended to park your car in a well lit area and take anything valuable off the vehicle (including the owner's guide, that may include a key for valet service).
In the UK The thefts that are facilitated by this method are at an all-time high, according to tracking company Tracker UK. In July 2023 they accounted 98% of the stolen cars that the company recovered.
To decrease the chance of being a victim experts suggest installing aftermarket car security systems like alarms and GPS trackers. They also suggest keeping keys in a metal container, signal-blocking pouch or Faraday box, which can stop relay attacks.
Dealerships can protect their inventory as well by implementing physical security measures, including perimeter fencing, surveillance cameras and well-lit areas. In addition, they must train staff on proper key handling procedures and lockdown procedures to avoid thefts. If they decide to sell older vehicles, they should consider a dealer-installed ignition immobilizer. This will prevent thieves from taking the vehicle after fooling the system into thinking that it's still in the dealership's lot.
Transponder Theft
As car makers update their keyless technology to make vehicles more secure, thieves are also upgrading their own equipment to keep up. One technique used by criminals is known as a relay attack, which is where two people work together to steal a car with a keyless. A thief stands outside the home of the victim, using an instrument that detects the signal from a key fob, and then transmitted to a person who is seated near the car. The car will start when the copied signal is recognized. This has been captured on security cameras at home, which show the cars being driven away in a matter of seconds.
Even the most expensive luxury vehicles are at risk. Tracker UK, a tracking company in the UK, reported that 98% of high-tech vehicles it retrieved last year were robbed using keyless systems. The older luxury vehicles with lower-end keyless systems are most at risk, including Mercedes C- and E-Class, BMW 3 Series, Land Rover Discovery and Jaguar XF models.
Another method of keyless theft is code stealing, which can happen when you're not paying attention to where you place your key fob. You might not remember to remove it from your pocket before leaving the house. If your fob is in range of an intelligent hub or home security system, you could hack it to gain access to vehicle control systems. A hacker with a solid understanding of electronics can then modify the car's software to do whatever they want it accomplish, like turning off the ignition and then drive off.
It is important to protect your vehicle and be aware of attacks. You can limit the risk by parking in a locked garage or gated secure car park. If that's not feasible then you should consider installing a motion sensor camera that has a view of your driveway.

Theft of Programming
The technology that is used in keyless vehicles makes them more convenient for us, however it also makes them more easy for thieves to steal. The most common method of stealing a vehicle through keyless entry systems is referred to as a "relay attack". The thieves work in pairs, using devices to intercept your fob's signals as it approaches the ignition or door to open your vehicle.
The keyless system is based on radio waves with low power that only work when the key fob is placed close to the ignition or door. A skilled hacker, can use specially-designed equipment to enhance the communication between the fob and the vehicle, increasing the capabilities of the system. This enables a criminal to make the vehicle believe that the fob is in close proximity to start or unlock it, when it is just within a few meters of the victim's home or pocket.
Some cars have a security feature that disables ignition when the key fob is too distant. However, this only works if your vehicle is programmed so that it can detect the signal of the fob at a particular frequency. Hackers who have the code for the car system can modify the key fob's programming so that it functions at the frequency the car has been programmed to recognize. This can bypass the security feature.
Criminals can get the coding of your car's keyless transmission by inserting a device referred to as"key programmer," also known as a "key programmer" which can be purchased on the internet for less than $1000 to the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) port usually found beneath the steering wheel. The tool can download specific data of your car to a blank keyfob which allows the fob to be unlocked and start the car as if it were the real thing.
They are easily available on the internet and allow criminals to target various makes and models. The most sought-after keyless entry cars are those produced by luxury manufacturers such as BMW Audi Mercedes and Jaguar. These are the vehicles which are the most frequently targeted. Tracker, an insurance company, found that luxury models contributed to more than half of the high-tech thefts it helped recover.
Lockout Theft
Criminals are able to take advantage of the weaknesses of keyless entry systems. The traditional method of smashing a car window and then hotwiring it is still a common practice, however increasing numbers of thieves are turning to more sophisticated methods to steal cars without breaking into homes. In fact, according to the data gathered by tracking company Tracker, car thefts have hit an all-time high in the U.K., with keyless car thefts accounting for an important portion of the total.
These new methods aren't just less expensive than traditional car thefts they can be done in just a few minutes. For instance, a pair of two thieves can use devices to intercept the signal from the key fob and transmit directly to the transmitter in the other thief's hand. This enables the other person to unlock the vehicle and then drive away. These devices can be bought at a cost of just $100 and work on a variety of car models.
In addition to these advanced methods, thieves are able to capture the data that is transmitted by the key fob and then duplicate and upload to an unlocked key fob. Key fobs that have been cloned will be able unlock and start vehicles even though they are not the original keys.
ADAC's research showed that a variety of popular car models, such as the Ford Fiesta, Toyota Prius and Volkswagen Golf are vulnerable to this kind of theft. A single key can be used to unlock multiple cars by using this method. This means that it is not necessary to target specific vehicle models or manufacturers.
To protect cars from these new threats, car makers are now offering security measures. Kia, for example has created faraday pouches that can be placed in the pocket of the driver's keyfob to block signals and stop it from being stolen keys what to do. Other options include creating spare keys and storing them in secure yet accessible places, installing surveillance cameras around the home and driveway and using apps to ensure you don't leave your car unattended. Also, it's an excellent idea to regularly check the battery condition of your key fob to avoid it becoming dead.
