•How ‘Keyless’ or wireless car keys work:
•Modern car keys, often in the form of a fob, transmit an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) signal.
•When you are near your vehicle, the receiver in your vehicle captures this encoded signal, decodes it, and allows your vehicle to be unlocked and started when you press the ignition switch.
•Each car’s signal encryption is unique, ensuring that one car owner’s key cannot open other cars.
•What does a Faraday Pouch or SignalSafe Box do?
•SignalSafe Box is a Faraday pouch that is lined with a unique material that blocks the signal transmitted by your car key.
•It works like an RFID Box that protects credit cards from contactless fraud.
•Why do you need a SignalSafe Box?
•Thieves have been using ultra-modern devices to grab the signal from your car keys without physically having the key.
•The thieves bounce this intercepted signal to their partner’s device near the car, fooling the car into thinking the key is nearby and allowing it to unlock and start.
•SignalSafe Box prevents this signal interception by containing the key’s signal from transmitting out of the bag.
•How to Test a SignalSafe Box:
•Place your car key inside SignalSafe and try to unlock or start your car.
•If the car doesn’t respond, the shielding is effective.
•What Makes a SignalSafe Box perfect?
•SignalSafe Box lined with a material that completely blocks the signal.
•Multiple layers enhance effectiveness of signal blocking.
•Do you need a SignalSafe Box for Car Keys?
•While pouches are common, boxes (larger versions) are also available.
•Choose based on your preference and convenience.
