How to lock key fob in CTR?

I can attest that this Faraday bag works, the car does not "sense" the key, even when the bag is right at the door, the ignition, or the sensor at the center console

Cool...Another alternative option is to simply eliminate the fob proximity sensor on the vehicle.

Come back to this thread and let us know if the Faraday trick works

one thing to note: this pouch has two pockets/compartments.

the more obvious one at the front is NOT protected (intended use is when you do want the car to sense the key fob, and/or credit card and cash).

the one at the back, with the nearly invisible opening above the fold is the one you put your key fob into.

there are clear pictures on the Amazon page posted above

yet even though I know this, every now and then, I mess up and put the key fob in the unprotected pocket...

Maybe this has been covered in the past, but how would one open the car with the fob inside the car and inside the faraday bag?

I believe OP said that he made a physical key

Thanks fellas! Appreciate the support and suggestions. I think I’ll spend a bit of cash to figure it out but in my cart is a waterproof bag for a key fob as well as a faraday bag. Hopefully this all works out.

faraday pouch is the simplest answer.
car will not recognize the key while it's inside the pouch, that is how it works.
if you put your phone inside the pouch, it will lose reception

faraday pouches are also a good idea when you stay at hotels (eg. track days)
if lucky, I can see my car from my hotel window - but keep the key in a faraday pouch to prevent relay theft.
