I was unfamiliar with this buttonless setup. Seems silly.

The attack is defeated by keeping your fob in something that blocks radio frequencies I guess. Same idea as those metal wallets but this time for an actual threat.

"Buttonless" is also critical. If you make people press a button on their key to open the car, it's secure.
