For my Toyota peeps. If you hold down the “lock” button on your key fob and double press the “unlock” button while holding down the lock button, you can achieve the same thing. This function prevents the fob from transmitting the signal. Great for restaurant, at work, gym and home where you park it. To reactivate the fob just press the unlock button.
This feature is also great when you are washing your car by hand and you are washing around the door handles and it keeps locking and unlocking.
Cheers!
does the door handle sometimes accidentally operate by water when you wash it? imagine the car unlocks after you just locked it under rain.
@@TomatoTomato911 no that doesn't happen
yes, this just disables the key fob, but you need to reenable it to unlock and start the car
Thanx so much for the info! Never knew that!
You can also just press the lock button again to re-enable the fob, it doesn't have to be the unlock button
Just make a small Faraday cage and place your key fob inside it when you get home
Thanks - I just saw your video today and when you held the pouch up, I said to myself that is what I have. I still have the box and it is Ticonn and have had it for about a year and tested it like you and it does work. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to upload this video. Didn't know that thieves now are using repeater units to fool the car into thinking, that the prox. key is in vicinity of the drivers door.
Thieves are always working on new methods to beat the system.
Can't they just shop, pay, and checkout like normal people. 🖥 🛒🚗 👍
😅I purchased two faraday pouches that’s the same one you have a year ago. It blocks any signal from connecting with the vehicle. Highly recommend anyone considering this product to give it a try you will not be disappointed.👍
Just ordered a 2 pack! Thank you!
I cover my fobs with aluminum foil, eliminates signal from fob.
Good idea. I also recommend that people get a hidden GPS tracker with backup battery installed in their car. Many trackers can be set up for geofencing, meaning if your car moves more than a meter you will get an instant alert on your phone. If the thieves do make off with your vehicle you can track it in real time, and using remote commands from your phone you can shut the engine down (fuel shutoff) and / or sound the horn once you have found the general area where it has been taken to.
What kind are u referring too
Any specific recommendations?
@@Jason78744 Really depends where you live. The TK303 GPS which is widely available around the world is a good option. Just requires a SIM card with active balance and it will send the co-ordinates to your phone. Also you can use your phone to remotely activate a relay which can be used to shut off the fuel or sound the horn etc.
Great info! Just ordered. Thank you
Thanks for the info I’m going have to get one of those
A great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
AWESOME video ... "Thank You" Stephan 👍
How nice to see this thief teaching his small son his thieving trade.
karma is a bitch.
I have an even better way: 3 pedals on the floor... better known as a clutch! 😂
And yes, you can have a push button start with a manual. VW, BMW and MINI have used this since 2009.
Thank you! Very helpful! Have both the pouch and the box in my Amazon Cart to purchase this coming Friday. I live in Toms River NJ and thefts are on the rise! Its awful. Thanks so much for sharing this info. I've subscribed to your channel and will also share your video. 😉👍
These do work, bought a couple for my new truck and sleep a bit better.
Thank you very much I do appreciate it
You can also have cameras that notify you when they get close to run the repeater. Then have a gun to lay waste to them as they attempt to drive off. Stay vigilant and always ready.
MAZDA
For my fellow Mazda owners, you can put the fob in battery save mode which turns off the fob's wireless signal so this attack is harder to do.
To do it press the lock button 4 times on the 5th press, hold the button down your hazards should flash. You do the same sequence to take the fob out of this mode.
You can still use the fob to lock and unlock the car... However, the car will no longer sense the fob for unlocking/locking while the keys are in your pocket. You'll have to hit the unlock/lock button and for starting the car you will have to tab the fob against the push-to-start button.
Does this work for Mazda of all year?
That's some great info
You can also turn off your key fob by press/hold certain buttons. Read your manual. For Toyota you press and hold the lock and click twice unlock button to disable the fob.
I have mine in a box that blocks the signal I also have a throttle controller that disables the throttle and i also have the exact same pouch you have
Do you have a video of you installing the oil catch can on your carmy
They do work I have already bought the pouch for my vehicle.
yes, even if you open the flaps and point the opening towards the car the car barely picks up the signal. seems the signal is stronger from the bottom of the fob.
I would also advise to also test your FOB. For example, whe nI put the battery back in my Toyota FOB, unless the key was within 3-4 ft of the car it wouldn't unlock or start. This doesn't prevent someone from stealing it obviously (which is why I remove the battery in the first place) but some cars use weaker signals for this purpose so it's harder for someone farther away to grab the signal. Apparently the one for my Toyota must not be very strong. IN fact once, I had it in my pocket and it still didn't detect the key with the battery in the FOB which I thought was a bit odd. But now I just keep the battery removed and just use a mechanical key.
Thank you
Since my truck just got stolen (not push button start), I want to prevent my ‘15 Mustang from the same fate. Wouldn’t it just be easier to locate the starter fuse or relay and pull it? Or install a kill switch? That would prevent it from being taken no matter what. Question is which fuse to pull and hopefully one that’s inside the cab.
OK thanks for the info on the keybob.
Question - what happens if you start the vehicle with the keybob and you put the keybob back in the protective pouch while the car is running????
Does an error message come up??? Can the car be driven while keybob is in the pouch while driving????
Just wondering if thieves can capture a keybob signal while we are driving with the keybob is out inside the vehicle???
How safe are we while driving with keybob sitting open inside the vehicle?? Say the thieves are in another vehicle following close by.
Just purchased one. I also just purchased an air tag to use as a tracker just in case.
Besides using a faraday bag, the other option for Toyota is to turn off the key Fob. This will prevent the signal from being captured and the fob cloned. Also, it is recommended that you cover up the vehicle VIN which allows the thieves also to clone your FOB at the dealer.
correct toyota key fobs come with a deactivation setting where the fob doesnt send signal anytime. it is as simple as holding lock and presssiing the unlock twice. best part the fob is is still usable. all you do to use it is press the button. it does disable the keyless function of unlocking from outside. also once you press the button when it is in that setting it goes back to normal
Just asking: how do you or with what do you cover a VIN numbers on the vehicle?
@@lindaloo206 it is illegal cover your vin just a heads up
Should you take out the pass key on those that have them to be able to re-enter the car when in a high risk area that could follow you home and scan the codes then. Does removing the passkey help deactivate the code sending ability as well?
thanks 🤠
I keep the key FOB units inside of a shielded box for key FOBs when it is inside of the house. When I am out in public places I manually lock the vehicle instead of using the key FOB. This avoids the key FOB from sending a signal.
I realize when in a parking lot someone within about 50 feet can read your key FOB using a remote reader. This can be an issue in parking lots. Remote locking or unlocking your car makes the key FOB send the signal for over 300 feet.
Wrapping your key FOB in aluminum foil will also block it. Also, putting it in to any type of metal containment will block it. I would prefer to use a blocking type of pouch for convenience.
Ordering these now just bought a 2023 toyota camry xse v6 where can I get the track thingy or will my phone be enough with the toyota app or will I need more than that?
have this pouch for $1.50. it works on both keybuttons and keyless. problem is they are bigger and hard to fit in pockets. you have to take out the fob to use it i wish theres a magnet cover for easy opening. also they are faux leather so the top layer will crack easily after few months i would prefer fabrics.
Buy and use a tripod when filming! That will make your videos better... Keep on rolling!
Really good idea especially the box. I would put the pouch on a chain or strap and hang it around my neck or attach it the wife's purse so we don't accidentally leave it in the car and manually lock the car. The box is great for the house though
you get mistaken as a fbi agent!
After you start the car with the fob exposed, can you put the fob back in the faraday pouch while the car is still running? Does that cause an annoying beeping? Or, do you have to leave the fob outside of the faraday pouch continuously while driving the car?
That's amazing!
I ordered the tconn box from Amazon! Believe it not, someone was at the back of my car a day or two after I brought it home!!! $24 well worth it!!!!!! When I open it AirTags beeping back on line. Tried the phone in box would not ring or connect!!!
while i am making my life easier, this guy is making it harder. for me i put on my watch, walk to the car. it unlock - i get in push start and go. when done push start to stop, walk away it lock.
Additional security measure long term is to remove the fuse to the ECU or fuel pump.
I use the same thing but a cheap way to do this is to have a small box for all your keys and line all of the inside plus the lid with tin foil that works also. thieves that are shop lifters line the inside of there bags with Tin foil which makes a sort of Faraday cage it block 99percint of signals from stolen items that have the electronic tag on it
What if you line a box with foil and put your key fob in it, will that work
I could not get the name of the key fob blocker. Is it Tyconn, Iconn, Byconn? I want to order one.I tried getting to the “description below” but nothing on the link.
Fantastic
I have a Honda Civic with keyless entry and push button start. I notice that I have to be right next to the door for the signal from the fob to reach and allow me to open the door. So that tells me that the signal from the fob doesn't travel more than 1-2 feet. Seems to me if I keep the fob away from the front door or any windows (I'm on the third floor), I should be OK. Am I right or wrong?
On newer Fords such as my 2016 Fusion, enable Secure Idle. The car will not go into any gear without the key present in vehicle.
they also use the same repeater to capture your garage code and they could take your car from inside in .
Great information. If I leave a spare key fob in my truck in a fob blocker, will the battery constantly be draining?
Remove battery so you dont have to block anything
What the link to order of product
Makes me feel good that my new camry still had the option to have a key and not a push to start button. It only takes one second to take out your key to get it into your ignition.
I was rented a VW Tiguan and have a push button start and after i got home i was using a foil paper and wrap the fob key and as i was getting near the vehicle i was trying to open the door and not response. Another thing the thief cannot steal the vehicle using a hot wire?
If you have a Ford there is a much easier way to foil keyless entry criminals. Find the settings menu for your vehicle (usually on the dash and activated by buttons on the steering wheel). Scroll down to the "Locking" section, then down to the selection that says Keyless Entry. Toggle that to off. Now you will need to push the button on the remote to unlock the car, just like in the days before keyless entry became a thing. The Faraday bags tend to be a PITA (as you could see in the video), and odds are most people aren't going to constantly put the fob into the bag when they leave the car and then have to remove it to open the car door.
I gotta try this!😮
Exactly. Too much hassle with extra pouches.
It's a small issue to deal with in order to keep my car from being stolen....don't be so lazy people!
Forgot about Ford shit cars roflmao!
Thanks for the video. I assume that the most effective way to protect (block ) the fob signal is to keep your fob in the pouch ALL THE TIME except when you get close to you car to drive it.
been looking for anti rfid fob pouches, the most common ones is this from china. theres another one that looks like a rectangular box that flips open with a magnet that is more compact and convenient but cost x10 the pouch.
it isnt really difficult or expensive to make them when keyless fob is the norm but theres only few options in the market.
and then they can still pick up your signal.....
I have a pouch and box. Those fobs are always in one or the other unless I am driving the car.
I saw a video on RUclips showing you can literally drive a Toyota without the keyfob inside. The screen will display key not detected but let you continue to drive without it
Yes but most dip sticks don't know but you are enlightening us or ones who have cars that have easy access which you would have thought that more technology would be safer and more secure seeing as they cost so much more.
any one know how I can start my 2013 Nissan Altima I lost the fob key and need to move the car
There is an another way to jam the ignition. What you do it is holding your thumb on the lock and maintain it until you do twice the unlock buttom and than try to get in the car you will not be able to do so. To get in in your car you have to press twice the unlock buttom and start your car you will to press again the unlock bottom. I did the experience and it does work and I have have an antibar thef that I put on my steering wheel. At least it does work for my Toyota that I have owned. Hope it will be helpful for some people. Thanks anyway for that video.
I tried that same bag for my key. Worked the first day. Then not anymore. I returned it. I just bought a steering wheel lock that wraps around the steering wheel and connects into the seatbelt
The crazy part is Amazon sells the tool for thieves to hack your signal and steal your car smh 🤦🏾♂️
I've wondered why automakers don't just immobilize the car when it can no longer detect the key. Maybe to prevent it from being immobilized if the battery dies or the fob malfunctions somehow, but how often would that really happen? You are generally given a pretty generous notice that the battery is running low long before it will actually die, and the chance of the fob mysteriously breaking while driving is pretty slim unless your kid is playing with it and smashes it or throws it out the window or something
The thief tricks the car into thinking the key is in the car
During 1980 to 2000 I would pull my ignition fuse so the car won't start. One time a thief broke my window and steering column linkage and cranked the engine but could not get it to start.
You can also get a faraday box.
The thing with these pouches is they’re defeating the purpose of keyless smart entry. What are you going to do ? Keep taking the fob in and out of the bag every time you come up to your car ? May as well take out the fuse for smart entry and use it as a button remote. I think it makes sense for storing keys in a box in a drawer but for everyday it’s like why did you even go keyless man ? Also pretty hilarious your neighbor is walking his kid and using the repeater. 😝
doesn't locking the door manually help mitigate some of this? ive gotten into the habit of just pressing the button on my door to help conserve battery
No, because some cars will let you open them with the clicker or a key. Removing the battery from your FOB is better. Most cars can be started without a battery in the fob (you touch the fob to the ignition switch, and use a mechanical key to open/lock the door).
When at home, keep your key fob far away from the car so that the signal can't be stolen
How come key fobs simply don't have an on off switch?
They don't need one. modern key fobs will go to "sleep" when they are away from your car or else it will kill the battery in your fob quickly. It will wake up again when you get close to your car which allows you to unlock your car. The only way these pouches work is if you never use your key fob, because as soon as you take it out to unlock your car, the thieves will be able to steal the code. You may as well just remove the battery from your fob.
for toyota(most of them) hold down lock and press unclock twice.
oh nvm someone already commented about it
What if my car is keyless, but to unlock the doors, I still have to press the remote button ?
This shyt works too, I often forget to move the key to the front pouch and can’t get into my own car . You have to remove it from the back pocket of key bag in order to use hands free access to vehicle. “ Comfort access “
My 2001 Jeep Cherokee takes a keey to unlock. Nothing is completely safe and secure, but this is a deterent.
My 2018 Tacoma would not let anyone steal my truck in this manner, because while you CAN remote start it with the key outside of the vehicle, it shuts off when you open the door, and you have to have the key fob inside to restart it again. It’s a pain if you want to remote start your vehicle, but I guess it keeps this scenario from happening.
I don't think you understand how they steal your car. Theives are basically scanning and then getting the signal from your Fob. They then copy it to a blank fob, and come back later, usually at night, and they're gone with your car. So yes your truck can still be stolen, once it's a push start model, because the truck essentially thinks the cloned key is the actual key.
There are two types of theft
1. Capturing fob signal when you park the car at public place (mall, street, restaurant, etc). Thieve sits near a parking spot, the moment you exit car and press fob to lock doors, he captures and records the signal. You walk away at your business, he moves right inside your car and leaves with it. Only way to prevent this is to lock your car using the lock buttons - either on door interior or small one on the exterior handle. This theft is very common in Europe, careful when travelling with a rental car
2. Capturing fob signal while car is parked at home - keep *all fobs* inside faraday box (faraday pouches wear after a while and no longer block the signal). To check a box, put fob inside, sit inside car, try to start vehicle.
The “newer” repeaters and code scanners work from up to 300 feet‼️
I'm next door to you here in Delaware. We have our fair share of car thefts lately. 😒
A few auto theft rings around here have been traced back to Newark NJ (no surprise there) considering that’s where many of the ports are. They seem to be targeting shore communities looking for high end vehicles with fobs left inside. Crazy world we live in
EZ way use Reynolds wrap fold key in Reynolds wrap..blocks any signal either direction
you have to unwrap the fob everytime might as well disable keyless entry (from your car radio settings on some vehicles)
@@TomatoTomato911plus, you have to wait for the music to stop, before you can begin unwrapping.
The actual term is Faraday bag.
And what you actually described was a Man in the middle attack.
Kia and Hundai are the most stolen vehicles in my area now, by far.
I have blue link systems so I can control my car from my cellphone and the agency can also control the vehicle as well. So if the vehicle got stolen they’ll slow the vehicle down safely and disable it and lead police right to your vehicle.
I drive a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL model SUV which is a turbocharged.
I understand thieves can still vehicles easily but my cars stays garage kept and i also have cameras around my house where I can literally see someone coming up my driveway from motion sensors going off.
So just having all this technology does help especially if you wanna see your vehicle status from your cellphone.
How much do you pay bluelink a month??
@@gailenrique2804 it comes free for 3 years after that then it cost you that’s if you decide to keep the vehicle. Like most people on Ave would only keel a vehicle for a few years and get into something newer anyway. But it’s definitely worth having blue link services 👍🏽👍🏽
RFID cover works
Super awesome how the thief has his toddler with him while he's out looking for cars to steal. 😡
Probably had the kid with him so he didn’t look as suspicious…
@@SEsGarage He has no shame or regard for his child's safety.
Teaching the next generation how to steal a car.
He cares so little about he's life he even drags the little boy with him what a low life
I always take my pouch with me to hotels restaurants and the like and just pop key in it when leaving car parked.
A cheap way to keep your fob from sending signal you can wrap it in foil when you are at home.
Wrap the fob in silver kitchen foil
Wire up your seat for a major shock when they sit down !!
I know someone who bought another push-button start and wired it in a hidden location. Now the one on the dash is just a dummy button!
For VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat: Lock the car using the button on the key and lock it again, but using the sensor on the door handle within 5 seconds. Now you can only unlock the car by pressing the button on the key.
Great f**kin parent. Lets get my little boy involved in this shit. This is why i always block my push to start vehicle in the driveway with one that does not have push to start. It is not 100% safe but it makes them work a lot harder to get my vehicle.
You should get a faraday box blocker and you get with 2 faraday pouches cause u have with Ticcon pouch no problem.
It Will Slow The Thief Down
An the car will no longer unlock for them it cannot be tricked by them.
By you wake up in the morning u will see your car there or in garage it never getting stolen from your property.
An your car is already safe protect with the RFID all the time as Always.
It Will Stop That From Happening to You, ur Friend, ur Family, ur Love Ones, ur Property All Safe
Is this an ad for the Tycon brand fob blocker? He mentions this specific brand name 4 times. There are other ways to do this…just put the fob in aluminum foil or any tin can in your house.
I put mine in aluminum foil and lo and behold it worked. Super cheap too
Just wrap fob in Aluminum foil . That’s what my mechanic does so he can lock my fob in the vehicle 2020Odyssey. Open with wife’s fob when I pick it up. Duh. Any small metal container will work.
Who wants to walk around with a tin in their pocket ?.
tbh i never understood why the car key fob doesnt have an off switch so that the signal becomes dead when you arent using the car
For All push button start vehicle owners, you can prevent theft of your vehicle with two simple steps
1- Lock your car, even better if it’s locked inside a garage.
2- Place your key fob in a faraday cage or box, and make sure the cage or box is properly closed. If you don’t have a faraday cage, wrapping your key in tin foil and placing it more than 30 ft from your car will make it difficult to steal.
3- The other effective way to stop theft is to remove the batteries from your key fob, however this can require re-attachment (programming) of your key to your computer.
…
The faraday cage or box will prevent communication signals being emitted from your key fob. So, man in the middle software cannot be used to steal four vehicle.
Would creating a Faraday cage out of aluminium foil do the same thing?
These things are like $7-10 for a pack of two. Why even bother making some ghetto thing that will probably cost something similar, or just have a properly made one you don't think about, just throw the fob in as needed. To save a couple dollars? Is that worth the time and effort? Lol
I tried aluminum foil. It didn’t work. You need to use tin foil.
@@BillRau2152 What's 'tin foil' and where can one get it? Usually that's another name for aluminium foil/thin sheet. There isn't much that contains tin these days - not even tins contain tin.
some people claim the fob only send the same signal once and discard it so the recorded signal would be useless to the recorder.
Some use a rolling code, but most fobs continually transmit even when not in use (some keys can be put to sleep but I don't trust this feature).
Leave the keys in a metal biscuit tin in the kitchen and in a metal filing cabinet if I am away for a long time
It’s really sad and freighting that the thief is doing that in front of his kid.
These things do work. I have them. Really sad the criminal has a small child to act as a decoy!
I'm a bit confused about how this theft happens. I understand from the video that the thief can amplify the fob signal to start the car, but how do they get it out of park? My car will not come out of park if the key is not within the car. The thief is able to make the car think the key fob is inside the car?
Correct
