Break into cars with remote keyless systems using a $17 power amplifier

Break into cars with remote keyless systems using a $17 power amplifier

Vehicle owners who have a key fob for a motor vehicle which is using a remote keyless system may want to be a lot more careful what they do with those keys. It may be necessary to keep them in a very low temperature environment, such as a freezer to protect those keys from sophisticated vehicle thieves who is now apparently using $17 power amplifiers to defeat the security systems of motor vehicles. Most vehicles which is using keyless entry systems will be able to search for a wireless key fob which is relatively close to that vehicle but apparently criminals is now using a $17 power amplifier which is actually boosting the key searching capabilities so that these signals can be detected up to a distance of hundred meters and in this way many vehicles is stolen. One vehicle owner who has almost become a victim of these high-technology thieves is now keeping the keys to his vehicle in the freezer. There has been several mysterious break-ins into vehicles in his immediate area and all of those vehicles were using keyless entry systems.

How does thieves do this?



A person may stop in the vicinity of your vehicle with a motorbike and then they will pull out the small device from their pocket or backpack. Within a second or two your vehicle security is defeated and the criminal has access to your vehicle. A person who has seen this process contacted the major vehicle manufacturers but was unable to obtain any useful information. Likewise the police department did not seem to believe the story and they were convinced that the victim must have forgotten to lock his vehicle. That was until the vehicle owner heard about a sharp increase in the theft of especially Toyota and Lexus SUVs where there is afterwards no indication of any criminal activity. Finally a vehicle security expert was able to provide the answer. He said that when the young criminal turned on her hijacking device, it substantially increased the distance over which the car can search for the signal from the key. Seeing that there vehicle keys was only about 50 feet away, the vehicle had no problem in picking up that signal.

How is this possible?



The hijacking device functions almost like a loudspeaker so that when a person speaks on that system, people who are standing hundred meters away can clearly hear what is being said. Such a hijacking device is freely available in the market for hundred dollars and less but there is even low-cost devices that can be obtained for as little as $17 and they are freely available on online retail sites such as Amazon, eBay and craigslist. Apparently one of the simplest ways to protect your vehicle if it is using a keyless entry system will be to place those keys in the freezer which acts as a signal suppressor and therefore the vehicle will not be able to pick up the signal from that vehicle key.
