Theft Prevention - PXIII

Heading into areas where vehicle theft using bridging scanners on fobs is a real risk.

What do I need to turn off so that vehicle can only be opened with physical key. (Drivers Door)

Want to create a vehicle profile that I can switch in and out of depending on my location.

Thanks for any help.

Probably quicker to pull fuse 32 on the BCM or uses a mini fuse extension and splice a mechanical switch into it.

Would need to do some reading to see what is plausible via programming.

so they can scan your fob and start your car or unlock?

Yes. They use a relay.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that anyone who parks their vehicle outside invest in a “Faraday” pouch for both their key fobs.
