When you say"...another idiot"......

I mean it was both elephant and direct line so could have been the same idiot.

Can anyone say with any certainty if a RFID pouch/bag will block access to a remote. I have tried it the other way and the remote still signals the car ok.

Does with mine... 6 squid for 2 on Amazon

Are you putting the key in the correct pocket in the pouch?

Not at the front....

It's just a smallish travel around the neck pouch that I bought. I thought that each of the three pockets would be RFID. I will have to try other pockets and see how it works. So with yours can you sit in your car with the keys in the RFID and not be able to start the ignition.

Yes... I checked this the idiots(me) way... unlocked car... put key back in pouch ... got in car....

panic when car wouldn't start....

until I realised what a tw@t I was and took key out of the pouch again!!!

I keep my keys in RFID pouches and yes 100% they work. I’ve tried putting the pouch with keys in on the dash inside the car and it still can not detect it on attempting to start the car.

To be fair there are 2 pockets in each of my pouches.... only the one with faraday screening (extreme fine mesh like nylon) is the rfid one

Thats great to hear, thanks. I will give mine a better try when I get home. If no good I will return to the store with more confidence in what it should be able to do.

Well I took the first RFID pouch back to the store because it would not prevent me from starting the car. It was a Sea to Summit product. I replaced it with a PacSafe pouch and it does not work either. I have tried all individual pockets in these and no good. Tell me, exactly what brands are you guys using that work.

This is the exact one I ordered off Amazon and it works flawlessly still nearly a year on. The reviews on there speak for themselves.

You need to make sure you put the keys in between the two gold layers inside the pouch otherwise it will not work properly !
