Jun 11, 2018He is scanning the valid key, laid somewhere in the house, and sending the code once read to the vehicle.
You can buy a bare-bones kit for $300 online, and if you're good with SDRs, you can tweak it to read a handful of vehicle types.

Jun 11, 2018Good find. With 7 reviews, it seems not to be used much? I wonder how many car thefts are using this technique?

Jun 11, 2018If you car still has physical locks, use those to lock the car?
Car manufacturers should have an internal "Lock" button that would/could lock the car after it senses door opening then closing? Or simply a delayed lock similar to "Away" function of IDS panels

Jun 12, 2018These devices don't look for a keyfob, the keyfob finds them. :-)
They receive the signal from the car when the button is pushed on the door at which time the car is looking for the keyfob. This device acts as a repeater and rebroadcasts the signal from the car. When the keyfob receives that signal, it the sends it's own signal back to the repeater which rebroadcasts it to the car opening the door and allowing the car to be started.
