Default Key Fob

I/m interested in finding a way to disable the key fob to keep others from starting my car for safety reasons. i would feel more secure. situations like if im in the house is the key fob still reaching the car. i know if the wife moved in the car while i was in the store the alarm would go off and i could turn it off from inside the store if i can hear the alarm or if i got gas and some one tried to get in my car and take off. this is what i would like to prevent. some safety makes you feel more secure thats why i have a dash cam as well. security. thanks for any ideas

Don't think you have to worry about this. Even if you were standing right outside of the car with the FOB in your pocket, the car will not start. If you are still insecure, you can get a faraday ballistic bag to keep your FOBs in,
Amazon Amazon
but really, you do not need it. The bigger concern would be these cloning devices which can clone your key FOB by just waiting for you to press the door lock button, or just passing it over your key FOB. But the Faraday bag would be your best bet for 100% security if you are really that concerned.
