Not sure if this works with our cars but there has been success over on the Disco forum, considering the number of cars being stolen recently using keyless signal boosting I thought it was worth a post over here |

At the risk of exposing my stupidity, I thought that using keyless entry / exit was more secure than using the fob buttons, as no radio waves can be caught / cloned. |

That true but I'm hoping they cannot clone it when near car to open it,,if you get my drift.

How do you think the key talks to the car? |

I never use the Fob to Lock or Unlock the car, as I thought I read some where that if you use the door handle buttons then no radio signal is transmitted, but could be completely wrong on that.

Unless you physically put a key in the hole and turn it, the key has to be talking to the car with some kind of wireless radio magic. |

Correct. However, I believe (and I may be wrong but I read it on this forum) when using the buttons on door handles the radio signal is very weak, much lower range. A thief would have to be standing right next to you to clone that one. Like hafman, I am also unsure whether using the key fob buttons instead of the door handle buttons is a good idea when youβre, say, in a car park with someone waiting nearby to clone the signal. At home, I avoid leaving the keys close to the driveway to minimise the risk that keyless entry exposes us to.

My local dealer carried out THIS fix on mine. They made sure only two keys were programmed to the car, and also said the 'modification' mentioned in the link prevents the keyless relay attack. |
