Recent research published by vehicle industry giants TRACKER showed that 96% of those surveyed were at risk of falling victim to the latest method of tech-savvy theft, which specifically affects those who enjoy the convenience of keyless proximity fobs to enter and operate their vehicle.
‘Relay attack’ is a term that has been seen across multiple media outlets and crime reports over the past 12 months, with the type of theft becoming increasingly commonplace.

The method involves two criminals working in tandem, with one holding a signal scanning device (available for as little as £80 online) up against a wall to boost a fob’s signal from inside the property. The accomplice waits next to the vehicle until the proximity system is fooled into thinking the fob is nearby and simply unlocks.
The entire process takes less than 60 seconds and is completely silent. Victims describe walking out of their front door the following morning to find that their car has simply vanished.
There are various CCTV and Police recordings of relay attacks on YouTube that show just how quick and effective an exercise it is. With industry research showing a huge 110 car models from 27 different manufacturers are at risk, a simple and consistent solution was required.
