While keyless entry offers convenience, it also introduces vulnerabilities that cybercriminals might exploit. Here's how to safeguard your car:


Shield Your Key Fob:

  • Faraday cage: Store your key fob in a signal-blocking pouch or box when not in use.

  • Signal blocker: Consider a portable signal blocker for added protection, especially in high-risk areas.

  • Distance matters: Keep your key fob away from windows and doors when at home to prevent relay attacks.

Strengthen Car Security:

  • Software updates: Install all available software updates for your car, as they often address security vulnerabilities.

  • Disable keyless entry (if possible): Some cars allow temporarily disabling keyless entry, use it in high-risk situations.

  • Steering wheel lock or pedal lock: Add physical security measures as a deterrent.

Be Smart and Aware:

  • Suspicious signals: Be wary of anyone loitering near your car with electronic devices.

  • Double-check locking: Manually confirm your car is locked, don't solely rely on key fob feedback.

  • Park wisely: Choose well-lit, secure areas with CCTV if possible.

Additional Tips:

  • Invest in a security system: Consider an aftermarket alarm system with additional security features.

  • Check your insurance: Ensure your car insurance covers potential cyberattacks and related damages.

  • Stay informed: Keep yourself updated on the latest cyber threats and car security vulnerabilities.

Remember: No single measure is foolproof. A layered approach combining awareness, physical security, and digital safeguards is key to effectively protect your keyless entry car.
