News items about car theft are often published in the media in which criminals make use of new techniques. One of the techniques that is often used is a so-called "Relay Attack".
The targets of this form of theft are vehicles with a Keyless Entry and Keyless Go system. Such systems use a smart key and its signal is captured and extended. Normally, the distance between the key and the vehicle should be a maximum of about 1 meter in order to be able to open and start it with the Keyless system. By copying and extending the signal, criminals can do this at a distance of several hundred meters.
Relay attack is a form of keyless car theft. Criminals bypass the keyless entry security by extending the signal of the car key from inside the home. Relay Attack can be executed silently and very quickly and is therefore very popular among criminals.

If the key does not move for 3 minutes, the motion sensor will cause the battery to go into sleep mode. As a result, no signal is sent out by the key and a Relay Attack is no longer possible.
