With better technology comes greater threats, which unfortunately also applies to keyless entry cars. The advanced key technology used by car manufacturers definitely adds an element of convenience to driving. However, button-start cars with keyless entry systems and smart keys may leave your car at risk. Hackers are always a step ahead and there have been instances where the car key signals have been tampered with and cars stolen.

Keyless cars can be tricked with the help of a transmitter and receiver device wherein even if the key isn’t in the vicinity, the signal can be mimicked. For opportunists it is often quite easy to pick up the car's radio signal and use it to steal the car. An easy way of protecting your car against this is with a Faraday bag.

A Faraday bag is basically a blocking pouch lined with a metallic material. This material effectively isolates the radio frequency of the fob and restricts transmission to devices used by thieves. All you need to do is put the key in the bag and the bag will do the rest.

At Kerbed we offer high quality Disklabs Faraday bags . These pouches are made in the UK, are military grade, and police approved. We personally feel they are the best on the market, and if you’re looking to protect your car, we highly recommend you get yourself one!
