[santacruzin]

Fuck its annoying.

I couldn’t find the huge thread we already had on this

yea it is

alternatively you can construct your own RF blocking device

a cup or jar wrapped in tin foil with a cap works too

macgyvered a few of these while renting vehicles that had the anti door locking feature while the key was inside

Depending on the make you should be able to get the dealer to cut you some door keys. Jeep does for about $9/each, so I had them cut 3 and I keep a few at home.

I use a faraday pouch but I'm not sure if it even does anything because my alarm still goes off every time no matter what absurd sequence of door closings and manual lockings I do.

Sucks being that guy at the beach setting off his car alarm every time #firstworldproblems

Thanks guys!
I have the physical keys made just need the pouch and I will look forward to the alarm going off post session!

Maybe I can fook with the vanlifers

If I’m remembering correctly from the previous thread, someone suggested peeing on it and then shoving it up your ass and then paddling out. Report back on your results.

I am ashamed.

I use the pouch with my wife's CRV occasionally. Slight hassle but overall not bad at all. I got two on amazon for pretty cheap

Pouch doesn’t always work well so I use tin foil too.

The mechanical key seems to disable the keyless entry capability on my shitbox nissan. Lock it with the mechanical key, and the tap the button with fob in range to unlock feature no longer works.

YMMV

That's the one I struggled with, especially camping. 1st time was in Utah. I was crashed out in the car with the doors locked, woke up probably around 4:30 to take a p1ss and my alarm woke up everyone in the campground. Naturally, I had to scramble to find my keys for a good 30 seconds before being able to turn it off, so a few people got vocal about it.

I’d check YouTube for your specific vehicle.

I found way more info about my new Outback Wilderness on there vs the convoluted info from the owner’s manual or the knuckleheads at the dealer.

In the case of the Subaru if you hold down two of the buttons on the key fob for a few seconds it will go to sleep and you don’t have to do the faraday pouch.

Additionally there’s a button hidden under the tailgate where you can tap in a code to unlock the car so you don’t even need a metal key and you’ll never get locked out.

I’m not a lesbian so thank you for the useless information

toyotas will disable the auto unlock if you lock them with the valet key
