Switching off keyless entry when washing the car?

[kalimon]

I think I prefer my method of constantly opening and closing the car to be honest

[Talk-torque]

I just use the "put the wipers in service position and the key out of range, in the garage" method, but you can get a Faraday cage pouch thingy that you could put the key into and keep in your pocket, if that was preferable.

A cheapskate alternative to that is to roll the key loosely in aluminium foil, which acts as a Faraday cage, and shove that in your pocket.

[I wanted a GTi]

I just get the wife to sit in the car with her key

I've just ordered couple of them of ebay. Hope they work

...or just don't bother speccing it in the first place and save yourself £365 and all the pratting about. I thought the whole point of keyless was to make life easier?

Didn’t spec it, it was free!
And I wouldn’t be without it.

Keyless is great and well worth the money. And no pratting about unless you are too stupid to put your keys out of range whilst you clean it.

I put the wipers in the service position then put the keys on the driver's seat. It won't lock with the keys inside.

Don't know how I managed it but I managed once to lock my keys in the car...well the boot, is that why? Wasn't while I was washing it though unfortunately but out and about so had to get home for the spare. Never worked out how I did it...chucked sports bag with keys in into the boot ...ah think ive answered my own question, I obv hadn't unlocked the doors but went straight to the boot ..

That's a bit harsh innit?

They only asked advice on how to stop the doors and mirrors from opening and closing
