RFID Blockers & Faraday Pouches
With keyless car theft on the rise, protect yourself from being a victim of this crime with our anti-theft car key RFID blockers. These clever gadgets prevent thieves from accessing the signal from your key so that your car cannot be unlocked unless you want it to be!
Keyless Car Theft
Keyless car theft is a rising issue in the UK and now accounts for 94% of all car thefts. Despite this, half of keyless car owners do not use devices to protect themselves from this kind of crime. If you’re wondering how to stop keyless car theft from happening to you, Halfords stock a range of car key safety products to solve this growing problem.
What is RFID?
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless technology used to unlock your car through short-range radio waves. Criminals can use techniques, like a relay box, to amplify this signal so that your car is unlocked at greater distances. This all happens in a matter of minutes, but can also easily be prevented in minutes.
Faraday Pouch
A faraday pouch acts as an RFID blocker because the radio frequency signal is disrupted by the layers of material in the pouch. Because of this, thieves cannot use devices to access the signal from your key. At Halfords, our car key signal blocking pouch is the ideal solution to isolate the key fob radio frequency signal in a wallet, which fits 99% of vehicle key fobs. Choose between a range of colours including black, blue, red and grey. For even further security, our RFID Key & Phone Blocker/Faraday Pouch has two pockets so you can fit your mobile phone in too.
Faraday Box
If you don’t want to carry your keys in a pouch, you can keep them hidden securely in our car key signal blocker box, whether you’re at home or work. This faraday box for car keys has an impenetrable lining and box within a box design to prevent keyless theft as well as opportunists who attempt to hook your keys through a window or letterbox. Not only this, but you can keep contactless cards or small devices, such as a smart watch, safely inside too.
