- blensor 8y agoI needed a quick fix that everyone in our house would be adopting quite quickly, and it should also fit into the style my wife used to decorate the entrance area. So the bowl where our keys were usually collected was replaced by a metal box with a lid. However, in the long run I won't bet on workarounds to prevent the signal to be repeated, I will rather use one of those steering wheel locks that's brightly visible from the outside. That does not prevent someone from breaking into the car, but it will prevent them from easily driving away with it. A security camera has also been placed there, so I hope overall it is enough of a deterrence
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoI think you can also disable the keyless entry (that is, entry without hitting a button on the fob) in most cars. Said cars should also just stop if it doesn't detect the key while driving, so starting keylessly should still work.
- jaclaz 8y ago>They make "Faraday Bags" exactly for this purpose. Only "they" do not certify them in any way (for several reasons, including the fact that there is not - yet - an accepted standard for measurement) and in any case a Faraday bag (in the sense of a mesh) may be very effective at a given frequency and almost transparent to another one). A tin box should always outperform a Faraday bag in shielding RF. JFYI: https://www.forensicfocus.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=3914/ https://www.forensicfocus.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=3914/
