Actually, they can. They capture your button press, not the proximity bit. You press a button, they block the signal from being received by the truck and capture/save your button press. You press again, they capture and save press number 2 and send the code for your first button press to the truck - and unlock it.I don't have prox locks so they can't open the doors with the repeater.
Zip to do with proximity locks. It's all about pressing a button.
So if you press a button on your fob to unlock your truck - they've got you.
Doesn't matter if you have proximity locks. In fact, if you never press a fob button, there's little to capture.
In theory, proximity locks could be "safer".
