    The signal I can understand but how would they know how to cut the key? As far as I know the key is the only way mine can be started. It can't be started electronically. o_O

    This makes sense. Remote entry does not.

    It's such a simple attack, you'd think they'd have some better security on that signal.

    They meant to say proximity unlock. This theft method will not work if your truck has a physical key (hkey, MT), even if it does have keyless entry.

    sorry to hear it. This is why I keep mine in the garage. But in the end if they REALLY want it they can get it. Hope the POS that took it die a horrible death. Just saying

    Every vehicle that has some sort of proximity fob and push button start has this issue. Even the most expensive super cars. This is only really an issue if you store your key fob relatively close to the exterior of your house ie. less than 10ft. The signal that your fob is continuously putting out is very very short range.

    It’s a real thing, the tech is there and people use it. Toyota is especially vulnerable sadly for whatever reason. It’s even happened to some Toyota dealerships in Canada from what I understand

    It is a real issue, a few BMW folks on the M3 forums had their cars stolen this way as well. I'm very thankful mine is in the garage but at work or anywhere else it could happen. For every advancement that is made, scum are out there learning it too and using it to their advantage...

    Yeah it is. There was actually a thread several months ago about it from someone else. We’re good though, still just sex trafficking and meth here. Another 10 years and we can worry more.

    Question...
    Can the relay attack extend your key's range?

    I ask because I park outside and live in a Condo. My key range doesn't reach my truck (when I try to lock/unlock)

    Is there any way to advertise that my truck is available to be stolen in this manner? Should I post it on Craigslist or something? I'm ready for this TuRD to go away so I can get out of my lease.
