"Always ensure your keyless fobs are kept in a Faraday Pouch or bag (sometimes called RFID bag) it is lined with a material, frequently copper-based, that contains the RF signal transmitted by a car key.
"The material absorbs and redistributes electronic signals from the key, not allowing them to escape."
