There's a common attack that boosts the wireless signal of proximity fob to trick the vehicle into unlocking & starting. Fob wireless systems should ideally redesigned such that the round trip time is precisely measured of only valid encrypted challenge responses that only the fob can answer.
Spending a bunch of money on a luxury vehicle is usually idiotic and most people who do so usually can't afford it in proportion to their income sheet and balance sheet. Plus, it advertises the owner and the vehicle as targets for all sorts of criminal intrigue.
- sofaofthedamned 7y agoYeah I know the attack model, it was just amusing they took the cars that were worth less (at market value) over the newer car that was less cool but worth more. We put our car keys in a metal tin near the door now which stops all this anyway.
