What is a passive keyless entry system, and how does it work?

In the past, vehicles were equipped with active keyless entry systems, which at the time, were seen as a significant technological advancement. These systems allowed drivers to unlock their cars with a simple press of a button on the key fob.

As technology evolved and convenience became a priority, passive keyless entry systems were introduced. This newer system enables you to unlock your car just by approaching it, without the need to press any buttons. Today, most modern vehicles come with this impressive built-in feature.

The system operates using radio signals, with each car assigned a unique code that’s continuously transmitted by the key fob. The vehicle is equipped with a radio signal receiver that constantly scans for this code. When the correct signal is detected, the car unlocks, and you can start the engine. Typically, this system functions within a range of 5 to 20 metres, meaning the car won’t start if you’re too far away.

What is a Relay Attack?

Unfortunately, the same technological advancements that make life easier have also led to the creation of devices that criminals can exploit. One such device is the Signal Extender, which allows thieves to steal cars equipped with keyless entry systems with minimal effort.

A relay attack typically involves two thieves. One uses a device to capture the signal from your key fob and extends its range by repeating it. The other thief stands near your vehicle with a receiver that picks up this extended signal, tricking the car into believing the key is nearby and unlocking the doors.

As a result, even if your car is parked close to your home or outside a restaurant while you’re having dinner, it’s still at risk of being stolen through this method.

How Does the Smart Keyless Keeper Device Work?

The Smart Keyless Protector is an innovative chip designed to enhance the security of your keyless entry system. This small device is wrapped around the key fob’s battery and features a built-in motion detector. It automatically activates and deactivates the key fob based on your activity.

For example, when you’re at home sleeping or sitting still with the key nearby, the Smart Keyless Protector deactivates the key, preventing thieves from intercepting the signal constantly emitted by the passive keyless entry system. This means that your key is only active when you’re in motion, ensuring it’s secure while you’re at rest or dining out.

As soon as you start moving and approach your car, the Smart Keyless Protector instantly reactivates the key, allowing you to unlock and start your vehicle without any hassle.

How to Install the Device

Installing the Smart Keyless Keeper is straightforward and as simple as changing the battery in your key fob. Just open the key fob, wrap the chip around the battery, and then close it up. If you’ve ever replaced the battery in your key fob before, you’ll find installing this device to be a breeze.

If you’re unsure or need guidance, you can easily find a video tutorial on YouTube specific to your car model, which will walk you through both the battery replacement and the installation of the Smart Keyless Keeper.

What Makes the Smart Keyless Keeper Device Unique?

When searching for a device to prevent relay attacks on your car, you’ll find a variety of options on the market, such as silicone cases and Faraday boxes. However, these alternatives often fall short in terms of consistency and convenience.

For instance, while a silicone case is a budget-friendly option, it has significant drawbacks. Depending on how the key is positioned, the signal might still leak through, making it an unreliable choice. Although it might seem like a cost-effective solution initially, the potential risks and inconveniences, like having to remove the key from the case or finding the right angle for it to work, can end up costing you more in the long run.

On the other hand, a Faraday box is another popular option. It effectively blocks signals by storing your keys inside, making it a practical choice for use at home. However, its effectiveness is limited to when you’re actually using the box. If you forget to place your key inside or if you’re away from home, the protection is no longer guaranteed. Plus, carrying a box with you wherever you go isn’t practical.

This is where the Smart Keyless Keeper stands out. Unlike other options, it offers continuous protection without the need for constant manual intervention. It’s designed to deactivate your key fob when it’s not in use, providing reliable security both at home and on the go, ensuring your vehicle is always protected.
