What's the point of a Faraday box if they're copying the signal when you press it?Yeah I bought a pack of Faraday box and pouches on Amazon as a precaution. Luckily I’m in a garage when I’m at home.
If I need to park on the street at my own home, or my garage door is open, it’ll prevent anyone from being able to hack my fob from outside. Otherwise, yeah… it doesn’t help in the situation where I’m out and about and someone intercepts the signal as I’m locking the door.What's the point of a Faraday box if they're copying the signal when you press it?
I'm assuming they're hacking your remote when you actually use your remote. There's no signal coming out of the remote otherwise.If I need to park on the street at my own home, or my garage door is open, it’ll prevent anyone from being able to hack my fob from outside.

I’m not sure if the article that the OP posted explicitly states it, but I think I read on another thread that your key fob can be hacked even when you are not actively using it, so in that case a faraday box would be handy.I'm assuming they're hacking your remote when you actually use your remote.

The fob's when within range of the car actively communicate back & forth with it. The faraday prevents that.What's the point of a Faraday box if they're copying the signal when you press it?
False. These are active rfid fobs.I'm assuming they're hacking your remote when you actually use your remote. There's no signal coming out of the remote otherwise.
I get my laptop bag out of the back seat and then lock the doors and make sure they're locked. It take's under 10 seconds to lock the doors, shut it and check its shut & locked.I’m not sure if the article that the OP posted explicitly states it, but I think I read on another thread that your key fob can be hacked even when you are not actively using it, so in that case a faraday box would be handy.

@RTC975 - what’s your procedure for locking your doors while your fob is in your Faraday pouch? Do you lock the doors manually from the interior before closing the doors? Obviously besides using the physic
