   The guy in NextDoor who raised t his subject replied to me: "No. Push   
   button cars are in constant communication with the key fob when close   
   enough for signal. Once the signal is amplified, the device they are   
   using can unlock the car. Once inside, they can insert another device   
   into the ODB port which reprograms the key encryption to whatever they   
   like."   
      
   He envisions being close enough to the fob when the fob is in the house   
   but near the door and everyone is asleep, then unlocking and stealing   
   the whole car.  Possible?
