Frequently Asked Questions

A relay attack is a method where criminals use signal-boosting devices to extend the communication between a car key and the vehicle, tricking the car into thinking the key is nearby so it unlocks and starts.

Two thieves work together: one stands near your house to pick up the signal from your key fob, while the other stands near the car to relay the amplified signal directly to the vehicle.

Relay theft is responsible for a significant proportion of keyless-car thefts in the UK, with thousands of cases reported every year. Many police forces warn that relay attacks remain one of the fastest-rising forms of vehicle crime.

Any vehicle with keyless entry or push-start ignition is at risk. Premium models, SUVs, and newer cars are frequently targeted.

Yes. A relay attack only requires thieves to be close enough to pick up the fob's signal, even through walls, windows, and doors.

A Faraday pouch is a specially designed signal-blocking case that prevents your key fob from communicating with your vehicle by shielding it inside a conductive material layer.

Motosas pouches use multi-layer electromagnetic shielding material to block radio-frequency signals, stopping thieves from amplifying or relaying your key fob's signal.

Yes, when properly tested and constructed, Faraday pouches significantly reduce the risk of relay-attack theft by blocking the signal from reaching the car.

Simply place your key inside the pouch, close it, and try unlocking your car by holding the pouch near the door. If the car doesn't respond, the pouch is working.

No. You will need to remove the key from the pouch for your car to unlock and start.

Yes. Many UK insurers advise customers to store keyless-entry fobs in a Faraday pouch to reduce relay-attack vulnerability. Some even require signal-blocking storage for theft claims.

Not directly, but it can help meet insurer security expectations and reduce the risk of theft-related premium increases.
