I'm suggesting that the car sends out a constant, signed signal to a certain range. The rob receives it and sends an unlock signal back to the car.


The amplifier relays that signed signal to the fob. The fob receives it and its unlock signal is relayed back to the car.

No matter what tricky message protocol you come up with, it won't matter. The car and the fob can't detect the difference between being next to each other, and being next to a set of relays rebroadcasting their signals. Not by reading and transmitting radio signals at least.


Ah, I see. You're right, then.
