Modern car keys are small computers — and thieves have modern tricks to match. A few simple habits go a long way toward keeping your keys, and your car, safe.
Beware of relay (keyless) theft
Keyless-entry cars can be stolen when thieves use a relay device to capture and extend your key fob’s signal from inside your home to the car outside. The good news is it’s easy to block.
- Store your fob in a signal-blocking (Faraday) pouch or tin
- Keep keys away from the front door and windows
- Ask us about disabling keyless entry if you don’t use it
Always keep a spare — stored safely
A programmed spare key saves you from an expensive, stressful lockout if the original is lost or damaged. Keep it somewhere secure — not in the car, and not with anything that identifies your number plate or address.
If a key is lost or stolen, act fast
A lost key in the wrong hands is a real risk. A locksmith can program a new key and, on most vehicles, disable the missing one so it can no longer start your car.
- Have a new key cut and programmed on site
- Delete the lost key from the immobiliser where supported
- Consider re-coding if the key was stolen, not just misplaced
