Gone are the days when misplacing your car key was the only worry. Nowadays, with the rise of keyless car theft, you're not only flipping your house upside down looking for your keys, but you also need to be wary of tech-savvy car criminals who can hijack your keyfob's signal to steal your vehicle.

But fear not, for there are practical solutions available to safeguard your car. Signal-blocking pouches and boxes, designed to secure your keys at home or on-the-go, can thwart any keyless theft attempts, reports the Express.

Amazon has a deal on the highly-rated Todoxi Faraday Box and 2 Pack Faraday Pouch priced at £21.99, offering both a box and two pouches. It can hold approximately nine to twelve keys, and for extra convenience, why not throw in your spare house keys too?

The product's stunning black leather design ensures it will look stylish anywhere in your home. Customers have praised its efficacy. One satisfied purchaser remarked: "Does what it says on the tin. Complete protection and signal blocking for wireless keys, preventing car unlocking even with the box pressed against the car door. Inoffensive to look at, easy to operate, spacious enough for a handful of keys. Excellent value."

One customer extolled the virtues of the signal-blocking kit, saying: "I had read about cars being stolen due to thieves amplifying the signal from the key fob and hacking it in some way. This product works a treat and completely blocks the signal.

"The box has plenty of space and is ideal for home use and the pouches are handy when travelling. The only inconvenience is when you have keyless entry you have to take the fob out of the pouch but for me that's a minor inconvenience which is far outweighed by the extra security offered."

Another satisfied user commented: "The box is a great size, doesn't take up too much space but houses a few sets of keys. The 2 additional wallets are great, clearly bulkier than just having the key but when the key is in the wallet the remote access doesn't work. Really good product."

However, some users noted a potential issue with the size of the box for those with larger keyrings. A customer mentioned: "Liked that it worked, would have preferred it to be a little deeper to ensure my 'key' would be fully enclosed."

Meanwhile, another user faced challenges with the design: "To say that the lid is a bit tight is an understatement. You have to pick it up in both hands to prise it open."

For those looking for alternatives, Halfords offers the Anti-Theft Car Key Signal Blocker - Black at a price of £6, which comes as a single pouch rather than a box. Similarly, Argos sells the Streetwize Car Key Signal Blocking Faraday Box - Black for £20, though this includes only the box without any extra pouches.
