I got my Faraday pouches from my insurers for free - happened to be giving them away when I amended my policy. Good old LV...
The cleaning stuff is not required - ceramic coating today and maintenance washes from next month! |

Same here - we got a couple of GoSkippy branded ones from the wife's insurance, her car is keyless entry.

I thought this was old news!
People can grab the car key signal even when the key is inside your home and then relay it to a device that is beside your car, fooling the car that the key is present. I believe that this is only a risk for cars with Comfort Access (keyless entry, not where you have to press a button on the fob to open the car.) Google 'relay theft' and you will see videos of cars being stolen in this way. I have a couple of Faraday pouches for my wife's car keys but don't feel the need for my BMW as I don't have Comfort Access. The pouch shields the signal from the key so it can't be grabbed.

Nothing better than having layers of security vs a single layer. I have disklok, ghost, pouch and security cameras.
