Keyless car security Kia Niro

Whenever I speak to Kia they either act ignorant and say this is the first type of theft we've heard of or they say their security systems are Thatcham compliant.[Deleted User] said:Metal boxes don't work. I used to design radio devices that use the same frequencies as car fobs, specifically built to work inside metal boxes from a considerable distance.
They are not the most effective way to attenuate the signal.
What you really need is an updated key fob that has a motion sensor in it. No motion means no opening or starting the car. Kia should be able to provide one by now. They should give it to you for free, all things considered.
They are unwilling to accept the security is lacking on their cars.0
