Doing this has always made the car available to anyone who can find the key.Thinking about emergency spare keys, which I've always had hidden somewhere in my car. With the Clarity, if the key is in the car, anyone can start the car by just pressing the Start button. Great. But what if I want to hide a spare key somewhere (say, under the car in one of those magnetic key-holder things) just in case I lose my key? Doesn't that make the car available to anyone who wants to jump in and drive it away?
I have heard of people wrapping it in foil and that seems to work, suppose it takes some experimentation to find out how much foil is needed.The remote should never be close to the vehicle unless it is shielded - it will cause problems locking, unlocking and starting the car - confusion between 2 remotes...
If you want to hide the remote, you will have find a RF shielded enclosure.
I did this. I removed the key itself from my extra FOB and put it in a magnetic box and hid it under the car near the back. I then took the FOB and removed the battery, placed them in a zip bag and buried them in the glove box out of site. If I lose my FOB or lock it in I can retrieve my key, open the door and get my spare FOB out, put the battery in and be on my way. I have done this with several cars and seems to work well.Doing this has always made the car available to anyone who can find the key.
