    Just wondering, what protection and security do people use for key fobs/cars with keyless start?

    Against theft? Insuring the car.

    Are you talking about Faraday cages and signal blockers ?

    I don't do anything anyway. I've had 5 keyless start cars. Risk is miniscule, but I suppose it depends on where you live, where your car is kept and what car you have.

    There's loads of products on the market

    A Faraday Box for Car Keys available from Amazon or elsewhere will ensure that they keyless theft will not happen.

    insure it.
    don’t do anything else.

    If they want it that bad, they’ll get it.

    You can pick up faraday key fob pouches for small money from the likes of ebay or Aliexpress.

    I got a pouch in Halfords it was 6/7 Euro, works very well at blocking the fob signal to the car. Very simple solution

    Use a pouch from Halfords. Lot of those Amazon ones had poor reviews. That site has gone so downhill.
