Hey all,
I saw on the Tiguan forums that there was some scare about cars with Keyless Entry being a prime target for thieves with a "car relay" hack. They stand outside your home with a receiver, listen and grab the code your key fob gives off, gain entry to your car and then drive away. In less than two minutes.

My question is, has VW put in any measures with the T-Roc (with keyless entry) to prevent such an exploit happening? Haven't been able to find any statement from VW about this issue, but might be my bad googling. Kind of has me worried :shock:
