If you have remote but no self-unlock it should be okay, for now.
Toyota has a way to turn on and off certain features from the lock system by reprogramming using a pattern of opening and closing the driver door and inserting/removing the key. Same way you add/remove fobs.
So it might be possible to turn off self-unlock. You'd have to find the dealer manual though.

- k_os 12y agoThe article specifies there are brute-forcing radios out there that can open bmw's so no, everyone is in danger.
- ck2 12y agoWell, I know you can remove all fobs from a system with that same method listed above, so then only the physical key will open it. But that sucks there are so few codes they can all be scanned.
- peeters 12y agoWouldn't the logical conclusion from that premise be that everyone who owns a BMW is in danger? How do you go from BMW being compromised to everyone?
- CodeWriter23 12y agoNo. Many of the remote unlock by pressing a button on a keyfob systems are vulnerable to brute force and replay attacks. The news is out there, take a look if you are concerned.
- vkjv 12y agoYou can disable it via the on-dash console in GMs.
- Spoom 12y agoAccording to the Prius manual you linked, you can apparently turn on a power save mode on the keyfob by holding down the lock button and hitting unlock twice. This stops the key from receiving radio waves at all until a button is hit, so it would seem to be effective against an amplifier attack.
