Does the single locking then work with two presses? |

Yes, two presses then turn the deadlocks/alarm sensors off... ie leaving animals/kids in the car |

I use one of these boxes for my merc and rr keys, and they definitely block the signal, can't open the door or get any response from the car the key once it is sealed in the box. Plus the box is really well made and felt lined inside to keep the key in good nick!

I've got a couple of the larger pouches, which are big enough to get a key with keyring and remote climate fob. I've had them for a couple of years and last tested them a week ago and they're both working fine. I've got the smaller pouches for my wife's Golf R and had to replace them after just under 2 years, but they are more compact.

I take your point on that Stan, and yes basically take the key out when in use, I only keep it in the bag when not in use. I'm still wary though the key transmits a signal even if keyless entry is switched off, therefor is there some fancy kit out there that will unlock your doors if it can sniff the key signal. I could well be paronoid about the whole thing but it does make me feel a little safer.

Where I live I have a very private Camera’s drive... you then need to drive around 3 sides of my house open a locked full size gate, then drive down the back lane to my garage (100m or so) then break into my alarmed workshop/garage and somehow get The electric roller shutter doors up! All this before attempting to take my car!

@Dave, the normal key fob will use an encrypted rotating frequency and will change the next time you use it...no signals are emitted until you press a button.... ... - .- -.

I mainly use the bag for storing the keys when they're inside the house. I sometimes take the bag with me, but only if I'm going to park in a city centre. If I lived on or near a main road I would probably behave differently. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Couldn't imagine living in an area where you would play russian roulette every morning when you opened the curtains to see if your or your neibours cars have been nicked! |

Thanks Stan&Craig for the answers, unfortunately if you live in the towns and cities its not far for these holes to drive so they can steel your pride and joy, its one of many deterrents I use including a telescopic driveway security post, (the most effective thing I have I think), I actually live in a nice area, but only a 15 min drive down our newly opened by-pass from some not so nice areas. Would love to be able to keep it in the garage, but that means building work to get it in and close the door |
