    Of course, they don’t work on vehicles with rolling codes like, you know, all of them since the 90s. But don’t let the facts get in the way of a good do-nothing press opportunity.

      How are people even stealing cars by fob, then?

      Edit: It’s in the article. By using the fob + an amp or cracking the codes like big boys, neither of which this can do. Flipper Zero should sue the government for defamation.

        Yah, they just repeat the signal from a fob near a wall to hit the vehicle, which is now set to always open if the key is near enough. It’s a stupid setup that’s ripe for abuse like this, instead of just having the user press a button like they did before. That would have been impossible to exploit, but convenience always trumps security.
