Keyless Cars and Relay Theft: Simple Ways to Protect Your Car

Wishlist Share

About Course

Many modern cars unlock and start without you taking the key out of your pocket. Criminals can exploit this with “relay” devices that boost your key’s signal. Learn how relay theft works and the simple, police-recommended steps that make your car much harder to steal.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course is a general refresher for experienced drivers based on official guidance. It is not a substitute for the Highway Code, your vehicle handbook or professional driver training.
