Keyless car hacking

Slightly off topic but I am thinking of leasing a GTI for 2 years. Do I need to take out GAP insurance on top of my fully comp insurance?

Mine's leased and we took out GAP with DirectGap as it's not clear on liability costs with leasing if it got written off etc. Think it was about £139 for 2 years cover.

Saw this on a Skoda forum for MY20 changes and that usually translates to the VAG group 

- KESSY key with motion sensor (does not emit signal unless key movement detected)

So if you key is passively sitting in your house it does not emit its signal, which is a simple solution the problem

Would be nice to see it included.

When are MY20 details confirmed to the public?

There is already a company doing this that can be fitted to keyless car.

The next obvious question is can this mod be retrofitted to older models with Kessy?

Think it might be a new key thats then programmed to your car - think circa £150 for a new key, but do not quote me, just sure read that previously. Same affect as putting in tin or one of those shielding bags/boxes just more convenient, though you suspect it saves battery as well if not emitting when passive.
