Thieves could use the technique known as "replay attack" to send a message which is recorded by the receiver of the car. Once the message has been recorded, a rogue gadget can transmit the transmission again to the car's receiver in order to gain access.

Depending on the vehicle's make and model, it may be possible to program new keys on your own or you might need to hire an automotive locksmith complete the task for you.
