However some new cars have a fob that goes to sleep after not detecting motion, thus preventing relay attacks. Audi, BMW, Ford and Mercedes have this. Don't about other manufacturers. It wasn't that long ago that cars could be stolen with a 50p screwdriver or a coat hanger...
While that’s useful when you have put your keys down in your house say overnight, it’s not helpful at all when the remote relay is in someone’s hand walking behind you as you leave your car in a car park. It also doesn’t help with replay attacks.
thats a very good point re: car parks
is there anything you can do if you have a keyless entry feature ? can you disable the keyless entry in the menu somewhere ?
idd rather press a button than leave it open to attacks
It is a good way to avoid your steering wheel to get stolen.
Something with a decent amount of heft about should be a good enough deterrent.
Depends on the lock core, a lot of these (whilst relatively well made physically) unfortunately come with cheap wafer cores which can be raked open in a couple of seconds by someone with no skill at all.
Yup. You can even buy tools for it.
You don't even need a special tool, I've opened wafers with a paper clip and screwdriver before
I’ve lost a key for a padlock (honest ) and have been astonished by the number of ways that they can be opened.
Yeah, after watching a few Lockpicking Lawyer videos on youtube, I'm a lot more picky about which locks I use! Most of them are nothing more than a symbol of security
My elderly neighbour was very dismayed at how easily I "opened" the cheap Chinese lock on her garden gate using the 2 spanner method after she lost the key - and yet wanted to go out and buy another one of the same £2 lock to replace it! (I ordered her a decent one instead)
I'm actually looking at buying a steering wheel lock and stumbled on his thread.
Been looking at the StopLock Pro / Elite, and the Disklok.
Can anyone give first hand experience to which is best?
The one below it? The Stoplock?Disklok is the best but a lot of hassle to install all the time, get the one below it , good enough
