Now I remember why I did not order it. A policeman friend of mine advised me not to get Keyless Entry (KE). Most of the cars stolen in London have KE. So that's that. Good. More money saved and the car is less likely to be stolen.
My suspicion is that most of the cars stolen are using tried and tested 'old school' methods, such those below (I'm not sure what year these stats are from):
That doesn't mean most of the cars being nicked don't have keyless, but it also doesn't mean they are all stolen through 'master keyless keys' or whatever it is they are using. So they were nicked as they are nice new cars as opposed to because they have keyless. Probably an important distinction to make!
The stories of keyless theft appear a bit thin on the ground, and I can't help but think the manufacturers will resolve issues as they occur - as surely all cars will go this way eventually?
Although of course not getting keyless is still a good saving, and as we've all driven for x years without it - you won't miss it. But once you do get it you will probably not want to go back to a key! (I now resent needing to get my key out to get into my house!)
