From what I read about the keyfob attack, a small gadget blocks and stores the keyfob signal when you press the button to unlock the car, so you then have to press it a 2nd time.

The gadget then releases the 1st keyfob signal to unlock car and stores the 2nd keyfob to use later when you are not around.

It has to do this because the signals must be used in the correct order.

Did you have to press the keyfob twice to open the car?

EDIT Actually it seems there's loads of ways of doing it...

Before I had some sympathy for WCA, but now I hope his foot falls off.

No, I’m not jealous at all.

This reminds me of the 80s and 90's with people using removable bosses to stop their Momo steering wheel wheel being stolen

🙂

Had that with my Mk1 MX5 - stopped both the car + the steering wheel being nicked!

(..and I 'think' Kleeman used to be based just down the road from us in Sussex - not sure if they're still about)

When I read about all these needless 'luxuries' that come on fancy new cars I feel lucky I prefer an old car

[i]now I hope his foot falls off.[/i] - Consultant reckons I have a 70%+ chance of the planned January operation being successful so that means somewhere between 20-30% chance of you getting your wish!

Mine is in a slightly more 'masculine' black

WCA - I remember the post when you bought that Kleenman thing.

And I love that your CL spent three years basically open to all and nothing happened. Just shows how safe things really are.

I drive a 13 year old 235k miles Honda. With central locking that doesn't now due to a sticky drivers door lock. So I don't bother locking it.
