The car fobs that you press a button to operate use a rolling code

I think that vulnerabilities in the rolling code system have been found
though.

Place a jammer near the car, so car doesn't receive properly, use a
device to capture code n from the remote, user notices car doesn't open,
presses button again, device captures code n+1, disable the jammer, play
back code n, car opens, thief keeps code n+1 for later use ...

But a lot more hassle than picking up a keyless entry code. Needs the key
holder to actually operate the system, before the code can be captured.

car and remote allow a 'window' of several rolling codes, so in practice
thief can capture n+2, n+3 etc codes ...

And getting into the car isn't going to help much anyway. You could do
that by smashing a window. You'd still need the correct key with security
chip to actually start the car.


Or use the programming port to do your own key.
