Does anyone know of any cool anti theft keyless start cases that covers just the key? The issue I have is that I have to use a fob to get in and out of work multiple times a day and I have the fob on my key. Using the basic cases, means I have to get my key out of the case multiple times a day... I'm always carrying something, so its a bit of nuisance.
Also, any good ghost immobilisers, or something similar? As, I would prefer not to have some scumbag sitting in my seat driving off with my car?

Disable keyless? I do that everytime I get home.

How do you do it? through the infotainment system?

Lock the doors with the fob then touch the lock ensor on the door handle. You have to do it each time you want keyless entry disabled but it quickly becomes a habit and gives some peace of mind.

Yep that's what I do and it becomes habit.... bit like turning off stop/start each time.

I was legit about to ask about that! I'm watching a video at the moment where the guy disconnects the battery maintenance module from the battery. I'm about to run outside to see if it works. Turning off that damn stop start becomes part of the start up procedure.

If your car’s a 65 plate mk7 GTD as per your forum signature details, then I don’t think you can temporarily disable keyless; the functionality only exists on later (mk7.5) cars.

Yeah just tried it and it didn't work :sad:

That's a shame, didn't realise that was a 7.5 only feature.

I'll just have to keep the key in a case :grin:

And not early 7.5’s either

Can you not permanently disable keyless entry ? My son picks up his 7 GTi on Monday and is wondering…
Obd11 will let you code it out by disabling the sensor.

That was covered in another post on this site. Sure, it'll work. But you shouldn't be disconnecting that cable from the battery as it messes with the battery management system. I newer cars the battery is monitored depending on the age/state of the battery and you'll be messing that all up
Just use a Carista/OBD11 device to disable it (I've done this and it worked perfectly!). Or just buy one of those start/stop memory adapters that was posted in the other thread. All 3 of those options are dirt cheap and much better than disconnecting the cable which does other things too

Yeah, don't want to mess up the system, so I am going to buy the adapter tomorrow. They seem to work wonders from the YouTube videos... so fingers crossed!
Thanks for the advice! :cool:
