    What security can you use on your car to stop thieves. Disklock, obd relocation are great but in this video I experiment with putting the key fob in steel cans to block the fobs signal. This can prevent thefts from scanning tools used to boost the fobs signal from inside your house. These tin cans were steel not aluminium but feel free to experiment with whatever you have. Coke cans or beer cans have been shown to work with the top cut off but iv not tried them.
    Prevent keyless entry thefts. Alternatively you can buy Faraday pouches that block the car keys signal.

    10sec in and the answer to your question is to shoot thieves, it really cuts down on re-offenders.

    The only way to deter Ford thefts is to put a switch inline with the CAN bus wire from the OBD. That's because on this model, they don't boost the key signal on these models.

    Great video modern technology there are always a way round it I'm from the veihcle security industry I think it might be time to fit the aftermarket imobilisers which work via touch key which first appeared in the 80s and maybe additional alarm systems to go with it I remember when cosworths were the thiefs target and fitting all sorts of devices to prevent theft a separate adr cards worked as well great trick with the tin have a good day thanks for Sharing

    Another good way of protecting your key less entry key fob is to place it in a microwave , blocks any unauthorized incoming signal. Please note mate sure you remove the keys before you re-heat you pies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or just find a old non working one at the local tip ////// job done.

    Wish I had of seen this video before my car was stolen. Have learned a lot about how these thieves operate now. There used to be one method where thieves could record your fob's signal and play it back from another device, but newer systems safeguard against this. The method that's very common now is simply amplifying your fob's signal in real-time.

    After watching your video I tried using aluminium foil to block the signal on my keyless entry 2016 Focus. It worked a treat from any distance including next to the windows. Only one layer of cooking foil was enough to do the trick. Thieves foiled ! (sorry about that, but I had to say it).

    Stumbled upon your entertaining and informative video. You kinda had me at gum tin. Was sorry that tin didn’t work but you’ve inspired me to try some of the small tends I’ve kept for rainy day up cycling and craft fun. Thank you! 🙏

    My 1989 Fiesta has a key which does nothing but unlock doors and fire up the ignition, manually! You can probably get into it using a block of cheese but I have a steering lock I'm hoping will continue to deter scumbags. Granted, I don't get many toys inside to play with, but you don't see me having to lug tins of baked beans and mints around as security devices. Lol

    All you need to do is find something which completely blocks the frequency used by the keyfob. The problem is thieves with good kit have the ability to boost the signal from the key, so many Faraday pouches and biscuit tin / alu foil DIY methods don't sufficiently inhibit the signal to prevent the keyless theft. You need to buy a good Faraday pouch with a high signal attenuation.
