How car thieves work with Keyless cars, and a tip to avoid them

Model: (Various brands) Various

In this video we are explained how unfortunately thieves work to steal cars with Keyless ignition. Even though it may seem strange, stealing these cars is even easier than stealing those with a key: this is because the criminals go around with a blank key and code it through the OBD port of our own car. Of course, they are all practical people in electronics, and they are able to code it in a few seconds; once this operation is done, all they have to do is bring it close to the start button and drive off. One solution is to "shield" the OBD port in a container, like the one shown in the video, of which we are the only owners, and which can also be purchased on Amazon with the code B07BFXDDG3 for 159.00 euros, free delivery, or installed by a professional, which can be found on the blockbox.it website.
