How to prevent car theft and Relay Attack

Startblocker can prevent car theft and relay attack

Despite the built-in theft prevention systems in modern cars like immobilizer and alarm system, thieves are still finding easy ways to quietly drive away with your car. Majority of the vehicles stolen in the US and Europe have been unlocked and started with the original key. This is either done by programming an additional key while the car was left at a repair shop, key was stolen from your home, the key was left in the car, or the very popular in the recent years method called Relay Attack. With this method, thieves can unlock and start your car without having the key in their possession. They can obtain the key code from a distance of up to 100 feet, weather it's in your house, office, purse or pocket. Car keys have built-in radio transmitter to communicate with the car and that's their vulnerability. The key code carried over radio frequency is easily accessible for up to 100 feet away of the key itself. There is hardly any way this to be prevented without sacrificing the keyless entry or the convenient way to start your car just by pressing the start button. 

To secure their property, most people are looking to install an additional security system, Immobilizer, GPS tracker with remote starter disable or similar devices. Problem is, modern cars with their complicated ignition systems and sensitive electronics are not tolerant to modifications and tampering with modules or circuits. Moreover, the safety systems in the cars like ABS, Airbag and Driver Assistant are interconnected with the ignition system, therefore disabling one of those may affect them all. Disabling the ignition may cause faults in the Brake System, recharging system in Hybrid cars, Restrain system, etc. Let's not forget the warranty issues such modifications may lead to and potential very expressive repairs. Another problem you want to avoid is getiing stuck with your car not being able to start or even worse, stall while driven. Apparently all this is often caused by low quality aftermarket products.
