> I just think bmw and other brands need to come up with some sort of theft proof device or addition to the car to prevent these relays from grabbing our signals.


Every time the car companies come up with new tech they screw up. Especially when it comes to security.

In a few years we'll be getting access to everything through our phones/watches. Apple announced "Home Key" so smart locks will be opening through phones, your safe will open with your phone, subway, your office building, everything. This is a solved problem so they might as well use the existing tech.

By the way, I don't know about Androids, but did you know that the newer iPhones can unlock stuff even when out of battery? They use a totally independent circuit that works even at very low battery levels, when the device overall is dead. I can even pay the fee at the NYC subway with my phone out of battery using a limited version of Apple Pay.
