That’s what the police advise

Recently there has been an increase in the theft of cars with the Keyless Go system. According to the police, it is important to observe the following prevention instructions:

• Never place the key near the front door or apartment door or try to shield the radio signals by using appropriate measures (such as aluminum covers). Do a self-test beforehand. If the car does not unlock only when you hold the “security” button next to the car door then thieves will not have a chance to use this technology cleverly.
• Ask the manufacturer if comfort access can be temporarily disabled for your vehicle. Some manufacturers provide a function on the button to disable the keyless function completely by pressing the lock button on the key twice. Ask your specialist workshop what options are available specifically for your vehicle.
• There are also cases without radios for keyless entry. This means that thieves cannot transmit the radio key over long distances.
