Ceo's BMW X5 was stolen last year.He watched the CCTV later on.The guy came to the car with a laptop and drove away after a minute or so. Police found the car dumped somewhere on a road,as the car ran out of fuel and apparently it had some security feature that prevented the thieves from refiling it.
- ryanlol 7y agoSounds like you’re describing a range extender attack on the keyless start. Almost(I don’t know any that aren’t) all cars with the feature are vulnerable to this.
- ohmaigad 7y agoLatest BMW, Audi, VW and Ford (or at least some models from these manufacturers) key fobs stop transmitting after X amount of time (based on motion).
- VectorLock 7y agoInteresting. So do you have to put your fob in a bowl so it won't be moving to prevent it from being relay attacked, or some such?
- ohmaigad 7y agoYes but I would assume that coming home and putting all your keys somewhere to lay down is a routine for most people.
- VectorLock 7y agoLots of people sure. Mine stay on me til I go to sleep typically.
- daveFNbuck 7y agoThis feature can still protect you if it works for enough people that it's no longer worthwhile to attempt to unlock a car this way.
