Is keyless car entry safe?

No not Really,Keyless entry not as safe as a regular key.

According to authorities almost 85.000 vehicles were stolen in 2017 in the UK and 70% of the owners still had their keys on them. The keyless car theft is on the rise and spreading all over the country thanks to a little gadget called power amplifier.

Signal Amplification is the method most thieves are used to stole the vehicle.

This keyless entry hack is probably one of the simplest out there. This follows a similar principle to “relays” which transmit an RFID signal across a longer distance. Keyless entry systems use a “handshake” signal that sends a signal from the key fob to the car’s lock controller unit.

 When the fob is within proximity of the car, the controller unit detects it and unlocks the car automatically. The radio transmitter relay device works on that principle using two devices. One device must be placed next to the car, while the other must be within close proximity to the car owner’s key fob. A signal is boosted from the car to the fob to trick it in a sense by sending the signal from the device next to the car to the device that is near the key fob. Then the signal is copied rather than decrypted and can be used to not only open the car, but to start the car as well. So it doesn’t even try to decrypt the signal, just copy and use. It’s like intercepting someones private key.

To protect your keyless entry from being a victim of relay theft, here some are some quick tips:

• Keep your car keys safe – Use a blocking pouch.(put keys in an iron box)
• Use a Steering Wheel Lock or Car Alarm. ...
