Keyfob Boosting - Thefts

[NASSTY]

I hope someone steals mine

Me too....then we won't have to listen to your constant whining. Just get rid of it already.

I just put my key under my tin foil hat.

I got insurance. I'm not sticking my keys in a ******* ammo can every time I come in the house.

LMAO.
If anyone else is lucky to have some land.. and you're in a state that hasn't lost its America way. There are other ways to protect your property.

You should worry, my truck got stolen Thursday using the exact method described oh and it was in front of a police station

Even if they can get the car started, the key needs to be in the car in order to be put in drive.

I’m sure a proof of concept can be done but in reality (as in daily life) I don’t worry about it.

1) profoundly sorry this happened to you
2) so how were they able to drive it away if they were just boosting the signal to enter?

In front of a police station no less.

Dude I got my car back
Safe and sound today. From what I can tell they basically steal
The signal from the fob to get accès they then remove the kick panel and remove a fuse ( I won’t say which one cause it would only help them) removing that fuse stops the ford pass from transmitting. They then use a key in the cup holder hole to start the car and drive off.

they brought my car to a large hospital parking lot , 2 alert cops ran the plate and realized the car was indeed stolen.

i just got back installing a fuel pump hidden kill switch and a i also got a local tracking company to plant sensors all over the vehicle to help with recovery. Not fool proof but with how easy it is to Jack our cars , I am hoping they will pick someone elses

I’m glad you got the truck back, best possible outcome. Thanks for the follow up.

I’m liking the fuel pump kill switch idea.

So, I just did a Forscan mod yesterday that may help this issue. It's called '' Secure Idle Enable''. '' If engine is running but fob is away from vehicle, vehicle cannot be put into any gear. ''
