Ford Introduces Theft-Proof Keyless Fobs

Simple but effective solution to help protect your vehicle

Ford has introduced a sleep mode on new Fiesta and Focus key fobs to protect against keyless entry theft from hackers.

The new tech for Fords fitted with keyless entry uses a motion sensor within the key fob. The sleep mode is triggered if it hasn’t been moved for 40 seconds – so won’t respond to signals from hackers equipped with ‘relay boxes’ which can now easily be bought online.

Criminals illegally use the relay boxes to extend the signal from key fobs in homes, unlocking and starting vehicles parked outside.

Owners of nearly new latest-model Fiesta and Focus can now buy replacement key fobs equipped with the new sleep mode.

The cost including the fob and the labour required to programme*:

£179.99 incl for Fiesta with keyless entry/keyless start built from 2017 and Focus built from 2018
£199.99 incl for Fiesta ST built from 2017

SPREAD THE COST OVER 3 EQUAL MONTHLY PAYMENTS WITH 0% PAYMENT PLAN.

*Our technicians will programme and test it for you. The whole process takes under an hour.

MTCR Marketing Ltd T/A Hills Ford is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows MTCR Marketing Ltd T/A Hills Ford to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
