237 keyless cars were tested and 230 of them were found to be easily fooled into unlocking and starting by cheap electronic hacking tools that can be bought online.

The UK consumer group Which? looked at research from the German General Automobile Club (ADAC) which tested 237 keyless cars and found that 230 of them could be fooled into unlocking and starting by cheap electronic hacking tools that can be bought online.

the one car in the UK top five that is safe from keyless theft is the Vauxhall Corsa, a car that doesn’t offer keyless entry and is also not available in the US.

Of that 237-total tested by ADAC, four cars could either be unlocked or started but not both, while the remaining three remained unhackable. These three vehicles are the latest Discovery, Range Rover and I-Pace, all manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover.
