My Lexus got stolen through breaking off the wing and getting access to the ECU via a port mabe through the light fitting. this is a partial solution, not the full solution.
It's 7:25am and I just stumbled on a guy talking about how his brand new Tacoma got stolen. He was pitching a little pouch thing but claimed he wasn't being sponsored. Someone said you can turn off the FOB signal so thieves can't detect it. So here I am. Got up from my comfy chair to try it out on my CHR. It works. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Steven. I recently purchased a 2021 ES350 and later heard about the problem with this "feature". I found that, once I modified my fob, I could lock the doors by touching the door handle, but I had to use the fob to unlock them (which is nice). I also had to modify each fob separately (i.e. the other fob could not be near the car when I changed the other one). The owner's manual is lacking information on this procedure and other things found in the depths of vehicle setup menus. That is disappointing. Thank you again for this video. However, the next day I found that the setting is not persistent.
I add videos every other day and the membership gives you early access to them if you want. I will be doing more on the rav4 as I need to redo my trim level series
Great video, I ended up buying a pouch for a Lexus fob, it'll be a bit quicker than doing the button combo, and it works. However this is great information for when I don't have it with me, or want to use it.
@@zero-by6ib I actually do, it's become such a normal everyday routine for me, it would feel weird if I didn't turn off the fob and put it in the faraday pouch.
Hey Steven, thank you for the helpful video! I wanted to add that if you use FobBlocker, it will shut off the battery from the key fob when you rest your keys on any stable surface. And then if you pick up your keys, it wakes up the battery and resumes giving power to the fob. This makes it impossible for it to be copied while its resting. It's basically like a smart battery that uses an accelerometer to control power to the fob.
I also found another incredible way to prevent your car from being stolen as I only know for lexus, is by going to the settings and locating vehicle customization and selecting elect key entry and turning it off.
@@zero-by6ib not sure, mines a ‘20. On mines I have to press and hold the 🔒 while pressing the 🔓twice. You will know it work because you would have to manually unlock the car from the fob.
You can permanently switch the smart key access off from the centre console. You then always use the physical key buttons and start the car by holding the key to the start button. Much safer for theft
Thank you! Great information. My RAV4 Facebook group group keeps going on and on about Faraday pouches which you have shown to be completely unnecessary.
The sensor keyless function is the dumbest thing Toyota and pretty much every car has added to vehicles. Thanks for the tip it worked. My wife and I tested this just now after about 20 minutes ago our car gave the phone an alert the doors were open, and my wife watched the thieves take off. Thankfully in their own piece of crap cars. Makes you wonder are these inside jobs from people who work at the dealership. Anyways, after this happens all kinds of possibilities pop up in your head. Lots of people just suck.
I've known this since 2016 since I purchased my Tacoma, although it's marketed from Toyota as to save the battery when car is not in use for a while. It should be definitely marketed as an anti-theft feature because I'm certain 80% of Toyota owners don't actually know that the fob is capable of doing this.
I wish there was a way to turn it off completely so you'd need a key to (at least) start the car, and make it a chipped key. I'd also like key slots on both front doors. This new-fangled 'convenience feature' tech method to defeat thieves just makes it more complex for the owner/driver to use the car. This is one of the reasons I won't buy a new car/truck right now.
I've just read there are apps that can track your key fob radio signal built into the car somewhere. I have a 2005 Toyota and no longer use the fob and open manually. But I want to shut off the internal reciever for the signal in case it has been copied and is being used to track the car's location. Will just pressing the fob buttons and disabling the receiver work?
This is great info indeed. Thank you for this! Just curious though, is this one time deactivation? Meaning everytime you unlock the car with the fob you have to follow this routine to keep shutting off the fob?
If you disable the fob, then hold it against the start button, does that reactive the fob and you have to deactivate it again? Or should it remain deactivated until you press a button on the actual fob itself?
@@stevenwelchtoyota yes I tried it already, it re-broadcast. Slide key is okay although it is inconvenient. Maybe acquire a pouch that prevents the broadcast. I turned off already the broadcast in my spare fob. The other problem I'm not confident of leaving in the street because of the headlight point of entry to do the can injection or override.
I've never heard somebody talked so much about something so simple. You could have been done in 30 seconds and use the rest for the marketing you're attempting to do with all of the rest of your words. Zip it and keep it simple!
Do you need to do this to all of your key fobs for that particular vehicle? Im not sure if this method disables all frequencies to the car or just the key fob you used to disable it
Pretty much you are telling us to get rid of a convenience which the salesperson was bragging about when I purchased my ES300H. How about moving out of TN to a state with low crime?
That would be an extreme hassle to have to shut off the automatic key fob transmissions every time you use the key fob! Can you buy a key fob that doesn’t transmit continuously? Or, is there a way to permanently stop the key fob from the continuous transmissions? It’s far more secure if you have to use the key fob manually to lock and unlock the doors, rather than use the passive key fob unlocking, which makes your vehicle highly vulnerable to auto theft.
Short answer, NO. You are trapped between 2 dimensions. It's like being in a Rod Serling episode. Nothing makes sense anymore. Basically, you are fucked.
@@terry_willis The best solution to fix the problem caused by the auto industry using insecure technology to unlock and start vehicles is the IGLA PIN code system. Supposedly, none of the 600,000 vehicles with the IGLA PIN code system have been stolen. The IGLA PIN code system requires you to push a series of buttons, in the correct order, on your steering wheel, and other buttons in the vehicle, like a combination lock. If you fail to enter the correct combination, the vehicle will not start. The IGLA PIN code system also blocks the key fob programmers that auto thieves use to program blank keys, so that they can steal the vehicles. The cost for the IGLA system is about $1,200, installed. That's the downside, the cost. In addition to that, you need an alarm system, like the Compustar / Drone alarm system to notify you that someone is attempting to steal the vehicle. It also makes noise and attracts attention to the vehicle. The IGLA PIN code system, plus the Compustar Drone alarm system together costs about $2,000. The downside again, is the cost. The upside is you don't have to be worried about the vehicle being stolen. The criminal then will need to be concerned about being arrested by the police, or worse yet for the criminal, shot and killed by the vehicle's owner. The criminal will then most likely quickly exit from the scene and look for an easier vehicle to steal with less risk of being arrested, or shot and killed by the vehicle owner.
Mechanic shops can easily make copy and get your address from glove box registration and sell the info and duplicate key fob to thieves. No way to prevent a car from being stolen unless you own a ford pinto.
I saw another video, the guy used the little padding and went to settings, vehicle customization, and then he clicked on turn off the electrical key, and it happened the same thing you did . Unfortunately I could not find it on my 2016 Lexus RC 200t ? Do you know where can I find it on the padding settings on the screen ? Or do I just do your way and my car should be safe from bee stolen ?
Why not allow me to turn it off permanently (eventually, you will forget to turn it off and it will be broadcasting), or allow me to have a 1 foot broadcast (why do I want to broadcast that far to thieves?), or why do I even need this stupid "broadcast" signal mechanism (only send the signal when I press the unlock button)? Truly stupid designs cost you your car, which I assume is more important than opening your car from 100 feet away? Almost seems like the manufacturers want our cars stolen so they can produce more.
Of course everyone needs to do that now because the products are designed so poorly they easily enable thieves. Who designs a key that broadcasts itself to everyone around? Now thieves just sit in parking lots and wait ...
Excellent. Different subject the method of lowering all windows to air out a heated car. Does anyone know how to close all windows with fob in case of rain?
As I understand, thieves patrol around with a device that senses the signal from your FOB. They decode it and create their own FOB for your car. Late at night, they drop by and take your vehicle and drive it straight to a loading dock somewhere and into a shipping container where it will be sent across the ocean.
Will this stop someone from stealing my car if its key fob has already been cloned? (The rear cargo door of my 2017 RX 450H was wide open this morning and I know I didn't leave it that way yesterday evening.) Our house is small, and our cars are parked in our driveway because the house's "garage" was converted to a family room. I was keeping our fobs (for the Lexus and our Toyota Avalon) in a drawer of a credenza in the living room, against the wall farthest from the driveway, and no more than 30-40 feet from our cars. Checking signal strength today, I found that I could unlock the car from there. So it's possible someone could have driven by the house overnight, cloned the fob from the street (I don't know its maximum signal range), tested it to make sure it worked, and then driven off. Nothing was taken from the car. Since the car wasn't stolen and nothing was taken from it (there wasn't anything of value in it to steal) I'm worried that whoever did this -- assuming somebody did it -- is selling clone fobs to third parties so they in turn can steal the cars.
I miss being able to use a key. Why do I need a college course to learn this @#$%. Who would have ever believed there would be a learning curve to unlock or start your car? As a species we have gone insane.
how about toyota just designs a system that doesn't require all this . how much do these vehicles cost? especially a lexus? and we have to put up with this hassle?
so there is no way to disable proximity sensor but still utilize the physical buttons without having to disable proximity everytime you use the physical buttons?
Or if the car has the option to disable the keyless entry on the infotainment system (if the option is available) i won't buy a car unless it has the option to disable it
