You must have pockets like a Tardis.

Do you have a butler to open your front door when you roll up at 3am p!ssed out of your tree to save you fumbling around for a house key?

That doesn't sound right mate. To lock mine I just waft my hand in front of the sensor, same as unlocking. Though the 2 seconds you're supposed to have to check that the door is locked (as per manual - user, not gearbox!) doesn't seem to exist.

Yes i'll maybe get them to look at it when it goes in for it first service.It is something i can easily live with for now though.
Yeah the 2 seconds are more like 0.2 seconds before it unlocks again and the mirrors come out. :grin:

Same here. No digging nail into the slot, just glide hand past the sensor and that's it.

I LOVE keyless, and agree, keyless and e-handbrake, especially Autohold function and brilliant features.

Course there's some dinosaur's on here that will find any excuse to pooh-pooh it.  :whistle:  :grin:

I can just imagine the response they would have to ringing a doorbell because you couldn't be arsed to fish a key out of your pocket!
They might be wearing boxing gloves as they open the door!

PS. Dinosaurs had tiddly arms so would benefit keyless...


PPS. I finally found something that would benefit keyless and an electric handbrake today.
I ran an errand in a Peugeot Partner van earlier. Nasty cheap key that goes in an awkwardly positioned lock and the handbrake is tucked down beside a huge armrest console box thingy.
Nasty van full stop really.

Right, I'm off back to my glass case at the museum...
