With keyless theft linked to a large share of UK car crime, a heavily discounted faraday pouch is emerging as a low-cost security extra drivers are adding to their routine
This £5 gadget could prevent your car from being hit by keyless car theft. It's a crimewave that accounts for around 58% of car thefts, as thieves exploit the vulnerability of modern cars with special devices that relay the signal from your key to your vehicle.
With 160–180 cars stolen every day in the UK, taking simple steps to protect your car is wise, and one of the simplest ways of preventing relay attacks is to store your keys in a Faraday Pouch.
These are made of special material that blocks the RFID signal your car key constantly gives off.
So while the key is sitting in your house, the would-be thieves are unable to copy their signal. It's a simple measure, and it's also incredibly cheap at the moment.
Because we've found a pack of two Faraday Pouches for just £5.09 on Amazon, in a deal knocking 49% off the price.
The deal only lasts until February 19, so you need to be quick, and you need to be careful of the colour you pick, because only the red and blue one has the 49% discount - but they're medium sized, so they should fit all types of car key.
They have an integrated key chain and four key rings, so they can be used with the hooks on the back of the faraday bag for storage or while you're out and about, and they're made of scratch-resistant PU leather.
