Keyless Entry

Modern key fobs come with many benefits, from convenience to security. You can unlock your car's doors and trunk using a button on your fob that transmits a radio frequency signal to the vehicle's receiver. This system has its benefits and drawbacks, however.

Some thieves have created devices that can intercept the signals that your key emits, and then duplicate them and use them as an "mini key" to open and starting your vehicle. You can guard yourself by placing your key fob in a shielded case (also known as Faraday pouches) which restricts the distance at which frequencies generated by the fob could be transmitted. These pouches can be found in most auto parts stores for less than PS10.

This means that you don't have to worry about a friend or sibling accidentally changing the mirror's position or setting for the climate control or the seat position you prefer.
