A lot of the newer cars with prox keys have a feature to temporarily disable the prox transmission from the key fob. That means amplification attacks don't have a signal to amplify.

For example: A lot of Subarus and Toyotas can be disabled by holding the lock button and double-tapping the unlock button. It's then reenabled the next time you click the unlock button.

I didn't realize how many owners were unaware of this capability until some recent conversations so hopefully this can help someone.
