I have tried putting them in Faraday bags but I and other users have found these bags stop working after several months use for no apparent reason. At the moment I have taken to wrapping the keys in silver cooking foil but this is a bit crude. Any other suggestions? Or has anyone found a Faraday bay that actually works long term. My XC40 is late 2019 which means it does not have the new key that blocks signals after being dormant for a period of time, eg overnight in a house. (This problem is not exclusive to XC40 but all new models with keyless entry.)
