I looked for a similar thread and couldn't find one. If anyone knows of one, please point me in that direction.
I have always left a spare key in each Explorer. If I needed to give someone access to the vehicle, I'd just give them the door code and they could use the key inside and be able to drive it away.
The '16 XLT I'm getting has the keyless fob. Not my favorite, but I don't have a choice. I want to leave the second fob in the vehicle, the same way I've left the second key.
I've read the threads on how to lock the vehicle with the fob inside. I really would not like to have it be active in case someone got into the car when it was unlocked, and then be able to just start it and drive it away.
Looks like for RFID devices the way to effectively shield them from being read/transmitting is with copper mesh layered inside a bag or other container.
Has anyone built or bought a device that blocks the radio transmission to the keyless fobs?
I could always pull the batteries out of the one in the car, but that would be minor PITA when I did want to use it.
