Keyless cars 'increasingly targeted by thieves using computers'

I haven't read the BBC report, but I remember a Channel 5 programme where they interviewed car criminals and showed how they do it. The criminals monitored a keyless car and jammed the signal when the owner was locking and leaving. The criminals hoped that the owner hasn't noticed that the car didn't lock and also hoped they just walked away. When the coast was clear they would swoop on the unlocked car.

I've only heard of RS's and the A3 getting stolen this way.
Most are stolen with the keys after breaking in to the house.

It is worryingly easy on any premium car - you can buy kit that 'sniffs' broadcast signals from cars looking for a keyless entry 'key' - also the old obd programming of a new key after breaking in is ridiculously easy after spending a few grand buying dubious kit from overseas. An a5 gets done on the show tonight (Audi are bleating that it's not fair as the car is unlocked but given that takes 10 seconds to get round its not really a major one!)
Range Rovers not getting insured in London due to multiple thefts are a theme too. There are mechanical devices available that block access to the obd and that's probably enough to put all bar the most committed off

So if criminals can do this "using equipment intended only for mechanics", surely it must be possible to buy a new key (legally) from somewhere other than Audi?
