Keyless Key Fob Signal Blocking

[NP48]

If you disable the smart key (stevet's advice on Dec , 2017) and next day open the car by actually pressing the UNLOCK button, does that revert the key back to it's smart function (keyless entry) or will it stay disabled until you do "something else" to make it smart again? Hope that makes sense!!

It reverts back. The only way to turn off permanently is in the vehicle settings - not sure if that is owner exposed or via a dealer (techstream).

Hello

Does anyone know if the keyless entry key fob is at risk from thieves using wifi signal amplifiers?  Thieves are starting to use wireless signal relay boxes that can pick up key fobs 300 feet away and redirect  Showbox jiofi.local.html tplinklogin the signal to the car, making it think they have the key with them.  I have seen some videos on you tube and this kind of theft is becoming more widely reported on.  Has Lexus even responded to this if it is a problem?

no one is able to catch the signal. Of course, it is not very convenient to do it every time but you can decide whether to do it or not. There is one more benefit - in this way you will safe your Battery life for long time.
