Do I need protection for keyless start but not keyless entry?

I have a new car. Do I need protection for keyless start but not keyless entry?

Asked on 11 April 2023 by Bernard Daley

Answered by David Ross
There is a small risk of theft for vehicles with keyless entry and/or keyless start, but the means of protection from this threat is the same for both - a good quality Faraday pouch. If your car has keyless start but not keyless entry then a thief will still have to gain access to your car to start it, but similarly if it has keyless entry but not keyless start there is still the threat of theft from the vehicle itself.
