Failed Mojave theft caught on security cam video.

Just want to add to this, you don't need a specific 'Faraday' box, to achieve the results of blocking signals.

A simple metal lock box on your wall will also suffice (if you want to be technical, you want one with a metal lip that the exterior shell fits around, so there's no signal leakage).. OR even a simple box lined with foil will suffice.. but definitely won't look as pretty

But regardless, the metal key boxes you can find on Amazon will usually run a lot less, and you can mount them to the wall so they're out of the way.

(sorry, RF engineer is a side gig I do for a large IT hardware manufacturer, so it always makes me a bit twitchy when folks link things to 'Faraday' cages/boxes/pouches

At Compressor Controls Corp., we had a lab and an engineer who did that sort of testing and planning. I shared his interest, especially since I was putting together the computers and touch screens that would eventually control their Series IV controllers for a big Gazprom project.
Since we also sold to companies in the EU - things were strict in that area.

I recall going back to the 80s when I was into the car stereo contests, I had a weird sound you could barely pick up coming from my massive Alpine install. We ended up wrapping one of the head units in a copper sheet we grounded to the chassis. Problem solved. (but it was a Comanche so things were really really TIGHT, in close proximity. I had a lot of equipment in that tiny cab. )

Heck, even an old metal recipe box has a lid that comes down over a lip on the body of the box, making it a good candidate for tossing keys into.

Ooof... PTSD from sound competitions.. couple of buddies and I rep'd JL Audio for about 8 years. Ironically, they pulled sponsorship, when they found out I actually had some Fosgate and Hifonics stuff in my car, (back when Hifonics actually was awesome) even though my car wasn't representing JL Audio (buddy's truck was).

I can still hear the all the noise... or.. wait.. maybe that's just the tinnitus, lol

If you saw me, you'd know the results of those contests, my 8 speakers, 2 subs Comanche cabin, open cab tractors, and night clubs.......
Kids, wear your EAR PROTECTION!
There's a reason the judges wouldn't get in your vehicle when it came time to measure sound pressure. I bet they still have full hearing.

Will someone please turn off that buzzer?!

I thought the alarm would go off once the hood was opened. I guess that is not the case?

And it would only work if the hood alarm was enabled via AlfaOBD, JSCAN, Tazer, etc.
It seems to come with the hood alarm portion of the vehicle alarm system not enabled.

I suppose you want me to save all the video from 10 camera's. Like the herd of deer walking down the street. Stopping to eat everyone's flowers. How about the 2 dogs stuck together. Back to back. In the middle of the intersection. How about if I just live stream it?

I better not ever hear anyone with the Ravelco system ever complain again about the size of the JT keyfob....especially with the $800 price tag.
