Was wondering if our key fobs are susceptible to being copied?

First one -> signal jacking is old news. Latest BMW (for last 3 years?) have sleep mode so the key de-activates the comfort function after a short time period.

I know signal copying has been around for awhile, but what technology stayed the same since June 2018? LOL by your account my VCR is still good.

The BMW key has gone to sleep after 2 mins of no movement since June 2018. I don't think a technology change elsewhere will make any difference to that, but there are other things. Range Rover use a wideband transmission method which is currently impossible (or at least difficult) to scan. BMW haven't caught up with this yet.

LOL I remember a friend lost his keys at the bar one night and I cut a part of the steering wheel and slid it off in 3 mins...

My keys are always in a faraday pouch.
