How exactly does that work? Any way to safeguard against it?

You can get a range extender off eBay and extend the range of the owners keyfob to gain access to the vehicle. Same method has been used to steal push start cars. Link below on how it works: https://hackernoon.com/signal-amplif...a-609ce6c20d4f | |

I have some knowledge on this. so as I understand it it goes like this . As far as I know they only scan for OEM codes, Typically OEM only has 8 to 12 codes depending on the vehicle. Aftermarket alarms have thousands of rolling codes. So basically as I see it unfortunately the vehicles that are mostly unsafe are the newer vehicles with factory OEM alarms. Also most all OEM alarms have no shock sensor, and therefore a thief can break your window and completely ransack the inside of the car without the alarm going off. Aftermarket alarm with shock sensor is key.

now I finally realize those crazy Italians were on to something when they made the transponder range for all Ferrari/Maserati's like 2 feet from the car. you literally have to stand right next to it to unlock it. it always bugged the shit outta me, but now it unless this twerp is also standing right next to me, he wont be able to hack the signal.

Here in the 41st and Knight area we’ve been having problems with these things. My MDX (push button start) has gotten hit 5+ times now. Thought we forgot to lock it the first couple of time but now we are certain we did. Seems to happen when we forget and leave fob in our bedroom that faces the street. We never leave anything in our cars but since it’s so easy I guess these guys just go through them anyway.
My landlord also had his C class & Sentra (all push button) hit once, along with my MDX all on the same night. Never happened to my ‘17 Sierra though (no push button), the fucker broke the window instead.
We try to leave our fobs in the back of the house in a faraday cage of sorts now. Annoying but seems to work. If you guys have any better suggestions I’m all ears!

Most likely a range extender, not a decoder. If anything I'd rather have someone breaking into my car that way instead of damaging the vehicle by smashing a window or mangling the locks or something. It's not really a problem if you don't leave anything you value inside the vehicle, which at this point if people haven't figured that out yet there's not much hope for them. Quote:

It's a little annoying at times but it's way better for safety and security.

Had to be standing next to the car.

Some manufacturers are combating this issue using a sensor on the remote. it will not transmit a signal unless woken up by picking up actual movement of the key.. This is pretty new tech as far as i know.
fyi  | |
