Frequently asked questions

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, a technology used in keyless entry systems for vehicles. It allows for secure communication between your key fob and car, enabling you to unlock and start your vehicle without physically using a key. However, this convenience also introduces vulnerabilities that can be exploited by thieves using relay attacks to gain unauthorized access to your vehicle.

Our RFID enclosures and cases are designed with special materials that block the radio signals between your key fob and vehicle. By storing your key fob in one of our protective cases, you prevent thieves from intercepting and replicating the signal, thereby safeguarding your vehicle against unauthorized access and theft.

For maximum security, the key fob should be removed from the CarGuard enclosure when you intend to use it. Our products are designed to block signals when the key fob is inside, ensuring your vehicle remains secure when the fob is not in use. Simply take the fob out when you need to unlock or start your car.

Yes, our range of RFID enclosures and cases are designed to fit most standard key fobs used by a wide variety of vehicle makes and models. We've focused on creating versatile products that accommodate different sizes and shapes of key fobs to ensure broad compatibility.

To test the effectiveness of your CarGuard RFID enclosure, try unlocking your vehicle with the key fob while it's inside the case and within the usual range. If the enclosure is working as intended, your vehicle should not unlock. This simple test ensures that the enclosure is effectively blocking the signal.
