Repeater hack for keyless entry

Bob,

I've also been trying to find one of these booster/repeaters, but no luck so far. The item you found is the part number for our key fobs. I found that part on Ebay and it has a picture of our fob. I looked on the back of my fob and the part number is listed there.

If we keep looking I think we will find the hacker part. Happy hunting.

Cheers.

Still waiting to see the links for these devices at eBay and Amazon that many of these stories mention...

Any serious technical journalist would have got hold of one long ago and done some tests.
