Keep your key fob in a metal (coffee) can (freep.com)

I drive a BMW M3 (F80 model) and they're a very targeted car here in the UK. The majority of F80 theft tends to happen in other areas of the country but that didn't stop me buying a Faraday pouch for the keys even before I purchased the car. A ~£10 investment means the car cannot be opened with a relay attack the majority of the time (when it is outside my house).


The #2 Kia challenge on linked https://exchange.aaa.com/automotive/automotive-trends/smart-... is also interesting. Only takes breaking in, a screw driver, and a usb to start the cars.
