Keyless entry - options?

[m4rmite]

We didn't want the exclusive purely because of the keyless entry. My wife works for an insurer and is paranoid by the theft stats. It used to be high end cars but as the keyless entry tech is working it's way to lower end models so are the thieves.

I suspect that in a few years the EV battery may become the 'new catalytic converter' with cars stolen and recovered minus their battery.

Should be ok in a MG

I bought these, very inexpensive and have 2 pockets in each pouch. The back one is Faraday and the front is not. So when getting into the car move key from back pouch to front and keys work. Leave in your pocket or in the car while car in use. After locking move key to back pouch and now signal blocked.
