3. Use a Faraday case: To protect against electronic theft, store your key fob in a Faraday case to block signals from being intercepted by thieves using relay devices.
4. Park in well-lit areas: When possible, park your vehicle in well-lit, busy areas or in a garage.
5. Do not leave valuables in your vehicle: Remove any valuables or electronics from plain sight to reduce the temptation for theft.
