Tips for protecting yourself against thieves using the Keyless Go feature

Never put the key near the front door or apartment door or try to shield the radio waves by using appropriate measures (eg 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.

When you get out of the car, be careful of people with backpacks in your vicinity. These can be professional car thieves.

Ask your vehicle manufacturer if comfort access can be temporarily disabled for your vehicle. Some manufacturers provide a function on the key 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.
