    Just a heads up
    I bought some of these from a recent deal on here.
    I put my key in it and went outside to the car and it still opened.
    If you get one - I suggest you test it

    Can these be returned if they don’t work properly?

    Do they make hats out of this stuff?

    Does you head have central locking?

    Comparison test of these things in AutoExpress this week: some work well, some don't.

    Hi to clarify was this the Home Bargains inside Rushmere shopping centre at Craigavon or the larger one at nearby Marlborough Retail Park (where the M&S, Burger King are?) Thks!

    At 6' 3" x 4', I could fit in one!

    Wouldn't it better just to a car operated with a proper old fashion remote key!

    Buy a £2.75m supercar. Protect it with 99p pouch. Sorted.

    Faraday boxes degrade over time. The best practice is to DISABLE KEYLESS ENTRY in your car.
    Amongst my friends who got their cars were stolen, all were stolen in this way, including one theft just two weeks ago. Now my friends disabled the keyless enter in their new car. (edited)

    How?

    Came up as £99 was worried for a moment then
  12. Dribbles_MacTavish's avatar
    I've got a couple of these (and a box that does the same thing), they work really well, not just for keys, but phones as well if you wanted.
    jdbigguy's avatar
    How did you test the effectiveness of them?
  13. LordNaz's avatar
    Can someone please let me know if I have a smart key where it means keyless entry and keyless start does that mean I have to take it out of pouch? Or the key won't work?
  14. speedfire66's avatar
    I’d imagine there are better ones online but not at 99p. I paid £4.99 for 2x on eBay and they work well

    These would be good 2 PACK Faraday Pouch For Car... amazon.co.uk/dp/…are
  15. AgentZeus's avatar
    Just a heads up - the faraday cages in these types of pouches do degrade / break / stop working after a while. there is not much you can do about it - the 'cage' is fragile because the pouch has to be thin. you can look for police certified ones (secured by design) which are slightly better

    if you use a pouch check it blocks your keys when you are next to your car! i have had two decent ones fail after a few months.
    better still just use a metal box like this which cant break!

    I've paid less for a car. You would need a time machine and a tow truck to nick it though.
  16. JC_496305's avatar
    Why would you want this?
    RoosterNo1's avatar
    to stop your car being stolen !
    Thieves can scan your key from within your house, and con your car into thinking there's a key nearby.
  17. BignRed84's avatar
    Just to as someone who has bought these.

    They are massive compared to many other Faraday pouches
    L33TL33's avatar
    I find almost all others too small. They usually tightly fit the fob and nothing else. I have other keys on the keyring
  18. AX31's avatar
    No one is actually saying their car wasn’t nicked by using one of these…
    L33TL33's avatar
    Must mean it works then . But I’m all seriousness, these ones seem very hit/miss. Other ones are much more reliable and personally I’d use a box at home
  19. alexjames2320's avatar
    Don't bother guys, I got mine and it doesn't work, nfc also, I could easily scan my card with my phone, the card was inside the wallet and it was supposed to protect it.
  20. sr_387's avatar
    alot of cars now have a modified kill switch under the dash
    L33TL33's avatar
    A lot also don’t though. An essential item for anyone with keyless entry or start
  21. Diogenes007's avatar
    Did you know if you put your car remote key against your head when your press the button it extends its range. (credit Top Gear)
    f1p's avatar
    yes, been doing it for years, save me walking up to the car, but look like a pillock...
  22. johnrs's avatar
    These don't work. I picked some up today and was able to open and start my Jaguar with the key in the pouch.
  23. slex88's avatar
    For 99p I've had a punt
  24. Tianfat's avatar
    Might aswell just disable keyless feature
  25. sjs31's avatar
    Forgot to mention at the time, but I got them from the Bidston Moss store a couple of weeks ago.

    Mine do block the signal but the key fob must be in the internal pouch section AND sealed. Tried it next to the car when sealed and no response. However, it did unlock when pouch left unsealed.

    Heat previously added, OP!
