Is volvo's system as vulnerable as others? I ask because

1) Volvo seldom appears on the list of vulnerable vehicles and
2) Even if you can unlock you can't start unless the key is seen inside the vehicle. I have an RFID entry tag on the same keyring, and fairly often I get in to the car and get the message that the "key cannot be found" - and the car wont start. I have to move the keys in my pocket around a bit to get the car to see it. I know it's the RFID tag because the other key without it is always seen.

when you watch the vid of that merc getting lifted which is in the press it seems as soon as they are in, the car can be started, or are all systems the same....it would seem to me that with Volvo it would be a two stage relay - wave the scanner around to get in to the car and then have to do it again to get it started.
