Why This Matters More With Modern Cars

Older vehicles are less affected because:

  • They use physical keys
  • They lack continuous wireless communication

Modern vehicles with:

  • Keyless entry
  • Push-button ignition
  • Proximity sensors

are more vulnerable to signal relay attacks.

Luxury brands are especially targeted because they are:

  • High-value
  • Often parked overnight
  • Easy to resell or dismantle

Why Thieves Target Homes, Not Parking Lots

Most relay thefts happen at night.

Why?

Because:

  • Keys are often stored near doors
  • Signals are easy to detect through walls
  • Owners are asleep and unaware

Your car doesn’t need to be nearby. Thieves only need your key’s signal.
