    But does it work with the foil? We found lots of metal containers didn’t block the signal. Hell even a pouch advertised to do it still worked.

    Thick metal containers with over lapping lids worked best.

      I tested with bolt EV, 2019?, model, because while the keys are in my house they would still allow kryless start to my car in the driveway. 2 layers of crumpled aluminum foil worked to fix it from ~15 feet away

      Heavy duty Reynolds wrap. Fold to desired thickness and you have to wrap it fully without gaps. You’re tying to contain light.
