Better Alternatives to Aluminum Foil
While foil works in a pinch, there are better long-term options.
1. Faraday Pouches
Specially designed signal-blocking pouches:
- Look better
- Are reusable
- Offer consistent protection
These are widely recommended.
2. Store Keys Away From Entry Points
Keeping keys far from doors and windows reduces signal reach.
3. Disable Keyless Entry (If Possible)
Some vehicles allow this feature to be turned off in settings.
4. Use Steering Wheel Locks
Physical deterrents still work.
When Aluminum Foil Makes Sense
Foil is useful:
- While traveling
- In hotels or unfamiliar places
- As a quick test for signal blocking
- As a temporary solution
It’s accessible, cheap, and immediate.
