Step 1; The first thief stands within close proximity of the vehicle and uses the device to relay received signals to the second thief.
Step 2; The second thief stands as close to the house as possible, typically by the front door, holding the second device
Step 3; The second device transmits the relayed signal up to 10-15 metres into the house.
Step 4; When the key stored in the house receives the signal it replies in a normal manner, fooling the system into thinking the owner is close by with the key, allowing entry into the vehicle. A second relay is required for them to start the ignition which the car thinks that the scanning device is now the key.
