I know this has been talked about at length on this and other forums, but I thought I'd share this tweet from my local police team. It's the first time I've seen footage of a theft, and the method used, actually happening.
This has been in the news this week. A bit worrying really, and the response from the manufacturers is predictably complacent.
There was a programme on TV a couple of months ago about this subject and one manufacturer has come up with a solution to this, can't remember for certain but I think it was Mercedes, the keyless key has a movement sensor built and if it hasn't detected any movement for over 5 minutes is goes to sleep and stops transmitting altogether,it wakes up again as soon as it's moved .
I know I'll get snorts of derision from certain members, but I've got to be honest: the more I hear about the latest cars, the more I'm glad I run an older, far less complex 1!!
Yes an ingenious solution and good idea.
It is a sad fact that manufacturers design all these smart systems but do not recruit exerts in art of destroying your idea. The smart key is an obvious example.
