Red Deer RCMP wish to warn the public on the use of smart key emulators in vehicle thefts.

A Smart Key Emulator is a device that allows you to create (emulate) a key for certain car models without using or having the original smart key. After emulating the key, the device can open and close the doors, the trunk, as well as start the engine at anytime, over an infinite amount of times.

The emulator takes over the basic functions of the original smart key and essentially becomes the smart key.
