How to avoid car hijacking with invincible access

How to protect your car with a contactless access system from hijackers?

Unfortunately today in Russia, as well as around the world, the number is growing. How then, the car owners can protect their cars from intruders who have long been used for the hijacking, which is able to easily bypass even the newest innovative automotive security systems?

Car theft equipped with an invisible access system (Keyless GO), a relatively new phenomenon. But despite this, the number of machines of machines with a contactless access system grows in geometric progression. The most interesting thing is that the attackers easily invigrate even new and expensive premium cars, which are equipped with the words of automakers, the most advanced protection technologies. For example, look at the fresh video where you can see how criminals.

By the way, the growth of car hijacking worldwide (in our country there is also an increase in car theft) is primarily due to the fact that every year the increasing number of vehicles is equipped with a comfortable access system that uses the contactless keychain.

Why are modern cars equipped with the most innovative security complexes have become much vulnerable to their predecessors? The race of manufacturers is to blame. After all, you can agree that the invincible access system is very convenient, it allows you to remove the machine with protection without using the key and without pressing the buttons on the key chain.

How is the car hijacking with an invisible access system (Keyless GO)?

The criminals use the vending of the car without a key, i.e. Using the relay of the signal of your contactless key to a special radio, which the attacker holds next to the door of your car.

In principle, this kind of theft is based. At the moment, this electronic equipment can be easily found on the Internet and purchase.

How do hijackers act, who have acquired a similar repeater? First of all, most often they are looking for the so-called "sacrifice" next to residential buildings, where cars are usually parked at night. Further, criminals check all cars with one goal, find the car equipped with such an invisible access. In more detail about the technologies of car hijacking with invincible access to the salon ,.

It's easy enough to do it. The point here is what. Most are equipped with a start / stop engine start button. You understand yourself, to find out whether your car is equipped with such a system of invincible access to a few seconds.

Next, criminals are divided. One with a radio receiver remains at the car, and the other is sent to the residential house with one goal, catch the signal of your contactless key, which is constantly empty by a low-power radio signal.

As a rule, most of the hijackers first go with their radio under the windows or balconies of residential buildings. After all, many of us put the keys to the car in the bedroom, the windows of which go to the courtyard, where the car stands. Thus, the chance to catch the signal under your windows the criminals have. Unless of course you do not live very high.

Also, criminals can go into the entrance to fix the same radio chain radio chain, which extends to the door of the apartment. So much so, through the door, many car owners put the key on the bedside table or on the shelf in the corridor of their apartment, before the inlet door.

After catching the radio chain radio signal, a radio drive radio receiver with a radio amplifier enhances the signal and transmits it further into the radio fleet on a special channel. And as you probably guessed, this radio signal is directed to the street, where there is already another hijacker next to the car, holding a special radio repeater in hand, which, taking a radio chain-key radio signal, on which it takes it a security system.

As a result, the burglar system of the car recognizes the original key of the car and will naturally remove the car with protection.

The second and most common destinations for car grows with an invincible access system is parking from shopping centers and supermarkets. In this case, one of the criminals go straight out of the owner of the car, with the aim of catching the radio signal of the contactless keychain. The second hijacker is already at the car and waits for the transmission of the desired signal to open the car. After all, the attacker directly in the car only remains that it is to press the STOP / START button and start the engine, because the security system has already removed the car with protection.

If you can explain everything in simple, then you can tell. The radio itself, who keeps the hijacker next to the sacrifice, specifically becomes the native key of the car and actually deceives him. Indeed, in this case, the car alarm thinks that next to it is the original key of the owner.

The whole process of theft may take only 60 seconds. This type of hijacking is one of the fastest and simple for automotive connectors, since in this case they do not have to hack the door locks and break the ignition lock, but simply use special equipment for the deception of the immobilizer. It is noteworthy that the intruders themselves in this case are the risk of small, since such a hijacking occurs in complete silence and without the risk of signaling response.

How to avoid car hijacking with Keyless GO?

This type of hijacking can scare any car owners with contactless access in the car. After all, this is the high-tech type of hijacking from which it seems to be protected very hard or almost impossible, unless of course not equip the car with additional types of security systems. But in fact, not everything is so sad. There is always from the contactless hacking. All of them are not expensive and low-cost, in contrast to the installation of additional mechanical security complexes or installation of an additional second alarm.

Protect the key itself from your car

To protect yourself from this type of hijacking, you should directly, which will not allow hijackers to catch the radio signal of your contactless key.

First, we keep the contactless keychain from the car away from the entrance door and away from the windows, especially if the windows of your apartment (at home) go to the courtyard where your car costs.

This will allow you to minimize the likelihood that the hijackers will catch a radio signal and strengthen it, thus handling the signal on the radio amountering next to the machine.

Secondly, you can purchase a special case, a Faraday package or a car key storage box that suppress the radio signal transmitted by contactless key.

Including you can use just foil and wrap the key into it, which can also drown a radio signal. True, we want to note that all these things do not guarantee 100% of the radio signal suppression.

In the network you can find and see the victim of a lot of experiments, where many ways to suppress the key radio signal are not triggered. In order to be sure, for example, in the special cover you are used for a contactless key or in the Faraday package, which according to your principle should block the keychain radio signal, you need to approach the machine and simply check, and whether the key will recognize the combustible system of the machine. Make several tests. If the car does not unlock the doors, then it means it does not pass through the protective layer of the cover or package.

Is it possible to disable the contactless key Keyless GO?

Yes, you can. Many cars have the ability to disconnect the Keyless Go system, which provides you with comfortable access to the salon without using the key. To do this, refer to the car operating manual or to the technical center where experts will disconnect you the operation of an invincible machine access system. Unfortunately, turn off the Keyless Go system is not in every car, and not in each of them to do it will be so easy. Nevertheless, most cars can do it all the same.

Mechanical protection of the car

You can also purchase an additional security system. For example, the best solution for you will be the installation of mechanical protection - i.e. Castle on the steering wheel, on the gearbox block, on the brake pedal blocker, etc. etc. Including you can buy a special clamp for the wheels.

By installing mechanical protection on the car and thereby create difficulties for the hijacking of your car. After all, getting access to the car interior with special equipment, they, i.e. The hijackers will face mechanical protection, breaking the extra time to break. Most likely, in this case, the hijackers are simply retisted, since new and unjustified risks appear for them.

How else can you protect your car with the Keyless GO system?

You understand that 100% of the protection against theft does not exist (so that you are not promised and did not speak in various companies in the installation of anti-theft systems). The main thing is to remember that the risk of car theft is always present, even when he literally the whole stuffed with various security and complex equipment.

After all, the task of each car owner is to simply reduce the risk of hijacking, thereby providing all possible ways to protect their car from encroachment by attackers.

First, we advise you initially be always vigilant. When you go out of the car and go for example, shopping in the supermarket must remember, in order to hug your car to criminals, you need to catch the signal of your key. And in this case, there must be a person who is usually masked in a backpack or a sports bag. Nevertheless, in any case, a person who is close to you will be very suspicious and in some extent insecure, you can easily notice it.

Secondly, we advise you to install a signaling system with a satellite tracking system in your car and with a monitoring system using cellular communication. Yes, many of you may argue that such complexes are also easily and quite skillfully bypass the intruders themselves applying other and more expensive equipment. But still, in this way, in any case, you increase the chances for yourself that your car will not be stolen.

Why do the automakers do nothing with Keyless GO technology?

It may be an erroneous opinion that automakers are consciously do nothing and will not improve the technology of invincible comfortable access to the car. After all, they know about the massive hijacks of cars with this system worldwide.

But in fact, and despite the fact that the problem of such hijacks has appeared quite a long time, many automobile companies have been developing new Keyless GO systems with one goal only to prevent the hijackers to use the simplest equipment for relaying the contactless radio signal.

For example. Many automotive companies began to experiment with frequency, and some decided to equip cars with the latest software, which is based on the technology of "artificial mind", which himself knows how to distinguish the original key from the retailer of hijackers.

Unfortunately, such innovations of automakers are not cheap and, as a rule, they appear only on expensive premium cars. Although it is not a fact if you return to the beginning of the article and look at the video, you will immediately understand that even a new and very expensive Mercedes can easily be saccked with special radio equipment. And this is all taking into account the fact that Mercedes company is more than once in the network and on television praised its newest security system.

Thus, it is possible to state, to date, the problem with the system of contactless access to the car has not yet been solved, the more globally. After all, most inexpensive cars today have a standard Keyless Go system, which is easy to crack even very expensive equipment. I also want to note that in recent years, radio equipment used by automotive connectors has become significantly cheaper, it has become easily accessible to purchase it on the network.

And since it is so, then each car with an invisible access system is located today in a large risk area. Therefore, each owner of such a car must necessarily and initially make additional protection for his property, do not rely on the praised staffing security system about which is probably already very well the manager in the car dealership. Remember that the Keyless GO system seriously vulnerable !!!
