Anyone know if you can fit 19x8 et 45 19x9 et40 on a 2014 rs wagon?

When i was looking at rims, I found I could fit 18*8.5 et45 front and rear without scrubbing (according to briskoda). There are some great offset calculators on the net where you can put current and proposed size on there and it will show you what they look like and where you lose room. When I get home tonight I'll see if I can find the saved link I had

My keyless entry isn't working.... So the doors don't unlock when I put my hand in the handle or swipe my finger across the handle to lock... And boot won't open if car is locked... Have to use key fob button

Drop into a dealer...

After finishing my job, I headed back to my car, opened with key fob and started engine. Screen popped up saying replace key.

Headed to dealer. Service lady mentioned someone else came in not too long ago with same issue. Battery drained.

Seems it took 6 months BUT could be my garage key is on the same frequency and the garage key drained the car key battery but they're not always close to each other.

Battery replaced by service team which is great and all working now.

I don't understand, how would your garage remote discharge the key?

[MJKooLio]

Frequency? They are on the same frequency.... Eh I dunno

I'd say its more likely that your keys inside the house are within range of the car.

I live on the 7th floor of an 8 floor building... car is -1 floor for 0.

What about at work? Seems the kessy keys seem to be quite taxing on battery life, not the only report i've heard of dead keys.

If it's only happened once, could be a dud battery I would think.

I've had cars from new until 6yrs with no flat remote batteries but my Santa Fe has flattened both sets in about 2 yrs due to rfid. If it was within range a lot then I reckon it would drain them more.

I found my first dislike. The drink holders in the center console don't fit my or my kids drink bottles. [emoji34] Hopefully pic shows how it's not sitting inside. Didn't have this issue with my Golf.
Anyone have any suggestions for alternative options?
