Car Owners Beware: This Key Fob Trick Is Spreading Fast!

Screw the fob.
I'll switch back to a regular key.
The technology isn't worth it.

Damn, why would thieves want a Kia?😂😅😂😅😂😅
Worst cars ever

As a 850+ credit score holder. I’d love a bumper sticker or Tshirt to purchase from your site.

My 2016 kia optima was broken into last September in Detroit, around Rosedale park and they couldn’t break the steering column as it is a push to start model. The thief left the screwdriver and I submitted it to Detroit police, they popped my rear driver side window, since I have tints all the way around it didnt make a noise, but they also soo try this method to pop the trunk or rear pull down, which was crazy as my laptop was in the back seat they didn’t even steal that. I learned n bought a farraday box.

Technology backfire. All of these hedonistic (Cough!) "Conveniences" will end up destroying lives en-masse. Online identity theft to steal your bank accounts, keyfob reprogramming to steal your car and the Government wants to introduce digital currency? Once crooks figure out how to use AI to steal, we're all fooked. God help us all.

Change your ignition to regular keys from push button

wow

Just go back to manual keys with remotes that just open the doors

Why are some manufacturers on the list and some like Ford and Toyota and BMW and Audi are not. Looks like the Manufacturers need to step up their security game. Or people are going to buy the better protected vehicle.

When you finish driving for the day just WRAP your key fob in aluminum foil , it BLOCKS signals.

Oh and I find it hilarious that "The Club" would come back into relevancy as a theft deterrent.

Just buy a thick chain and wrap it around the steering wheel and the brake pedal ☝🏽. You can also disconnect a major wire connection that won’t allow the car to start also 😎- you can always out smart a criminal, just put in the work 😁!!

This is 2024 can’t believe people are still driving around with cars that don’t have kill switches and tracking devices …no wonder the thieves are winning

My daughter car is stolen that way on our video. He bent down in front of the car and then he went to the door and he stood there a minute and the door opened and he stole the car Honda made my daughter pay six months payments without a car then they told her, they were receiving a check for some reason they stopped the check and then Honda ruined her credit saying that she missed two payments. When Honda said they were receiving total monies from the insurance. Then they call her up and say we found the car go pick it up. The car was in New York State thank God she has enough sense not to pick it up because the insurance company calls later and says the car is totaled no seats no engine, don’t buy a Honda. My daughter has been buying Honda for 910 years and this is how they treat her lie to her. Tell her to go pick up Total car we’re gonna buy a Buick.

They keep saying “…unlock key fob…”. The key fob can’t be unlocked. Rather, the signal being transmitted from the key fob is amplified as it sits in your house by the electronic box being referred to in the video. This amplification tricks the vehicle into thinking the key is in the possession of the person with the electronic box/ stealing your car.

As I typed this the guy switched to credit scores, and loans. Huh?!?! Anyway… just thought I’d clear that bad explanation up.

pro tip: ADD a hidden , start switch button, somewhere....meaning this hidden button must be pressed, along with key turn to start or start button. Thieves are usually in a hurry and wont have time to look for a hidden button / switch ....and most likely won't know that you have one. This is nothing new, have been around since the 40s and 50s i think,

Keep your keys under your tinfoil hat.

'My kingdom for an old fashioned standard chipped key.

Keyless vehicles is garbage

Listen to me! Any remote control you use, car, tv, Garage Door included! When you push the button, a scanner can pickup the signal and a thief can program their own universal remote.
Locked doors only keep out Honest people!!!

Flipper zero

Drive a manual transmission car . Problem solved

In Canada the RCMP has told the citizens to leave our keys at the front door so they will be easily accessed by thieves. We are not permitted to defend ourselves and our property, so I guess the cops here don’t want to be bothered with pesky complaints.

🤔Having that Special box/Keeping. Key fob four from car & Steering wheel Lock - I’ll Be Fine❓😎

Manufacturers have known about he FOB vulnerability for at least 7 years. It was an issue when I bought a new 2017 vehicle. It prompted me to buy a lower model of car that still required a physical key to start it. (FOB only locked/unlocked door). It is EXTREMELY ANNOYING that manufacturers have STILL NOT FIXED IT AFTER 7 YEARS!!!

Newer cars are open target 🎯 s than OLDER cars. Wheel locks are big demands OR reprogram your cars?! 😮

Push button start is an absolutely useless gimmick. I would not own a car that has that.

Anything you can put your key fob in that blocks your key fob from starting your car would also stop the car thieves possibly making a bag out of that bubble wrap foil looking insulation you can find it at hardware stores and put your key fob in it when you're not using your key fob it's cheap put your key fob in it and try to use it if it doesn't work for you it won't work for the car thieves 🤔

Don’t have push to start like to turn that key fob but allway keep in garage any ways make it just safer drive 2013 dodge caravan thanks

All these solutions are great but they really defeat the benefit of these stupid key fibs. If you ask me they make cars cost more as well as a rip off when you lose one. Mine costs $450 to replace. I like what Tesla does. Uses your phone (in addition to a card). And Teslas are the least stolen cars.

There is a solution-that because you lock the vehicle with the electronic (button on the fob) to lock the vehicle take the skeleton key and lock the doors via the door handle and an electronic signal can't be picked up-they'd have to pick the lock with a screwdriver to get in-not tried and tested & it is a possibility that could be a solution.

What about Valey parking?

I'm in the UK and on Halloween a guy with a mask on, paper overalls and gloves walked onto our drive, remotely opened our car and drove it away - ten seconds from start to finish. Later we found out that they had accessed the (password protected) Ford system 10 minutes before the theft and did a master reset (possibly to remove the tracking feature?). The car industry needs to up its game because the Police response here is just to give you a crime number.

A. My keyfob is a direct program between it and my truck, involving the ignition key to program it❗

B. IT WON'T BYPASS AN AFTERMARKET ALARM SYSTEM‼️

Oh yeah... THE KEYFOB ITSELF DOESN'T LOCK 🤔

I have a subaru and you can put the fob to sleep easily which I do whenever I'm not in it.

Wrap fob in aluminum foil. I unstalled on/off switch on mine

Why don’t owners get a switch or switches installed to disable power going to fuel pump or somewhere that disable power manufacturers could do this

It's okay if they steal my kia I will just sue and get a down payment for a new car.

This shit makes no sense, now start with 30years in prison ASAP before others get hurt

My vehicle is so old that it does not even have remote door locks much less a key fob for the ignition!

old all repo men have these the box block is a joke

DOJ is not doing their part with stiffer penalties for theft like this !

Years ago you had to use a key to get in your car, then came remote locking/unlocking by pressing buttons, then came the friend to car thief’s - keyless entry, like these cars in the report. People’s laziness drives the car companies to make it easy for lazy people who do not even want the effort to have a key fob in their hand. Car manufacturers could stop this type of theft, by not making push button start/ keyless entry. Peugeot / Citroen did originally have a code that only the owner can get from them for programming new keys, this provided better security.

simple solution, either buy a car with an actual key or buy a Tesla.

They need to go back to keys , I hate key fobs any way

"Fearing retaliation, the owner of "lucky locksmith" doesn't want to be identified" if that wasn't enough bafooonery...the news station precedes to show tags.

And you can't protect yourself because idiots think gun laws work

Why should you a new Honda or any car then you have buy a box to Kip your key safe. Honda should provide a free box to keep the key safe because it’s their blunder when making this key fab. We should sue Honda. Insurance company too should sue this car companies.

Add a hidden switch for the fuel pump, preferably to the ground wire. Flip the switch to disable the fuel pump and no one can drive away with your car.
