Skoda Superb Combi V6 Ordered.

[Swuzzlebubble]

I've heard a few people say its not going to be a popular option in the long run, apparently a dealer drove off in car, and when he went to park it, realised the key was actually with something he left with his wife at home, so the car drives with it in proximity, but can't be locked without it, nor started again...

Anyone know if you get two key fobs for KESSY and if the use of either one works with the corresponding memory settings of seats & mirrors etc?
It seems some systems work this way:

Smart key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Some manufacturers allow driver's memory seat positions to be automatically adjusted based on the module used to unlock the car, which means that seat positions, steering wheel adjustments (if electrically adjusted) exterior mirror settings, climate control temperature settings and stereo preferences can be automatically engaged just by unlocking the car.”

We had keyless entry & start on our Outlander. At first we thought it a gimmick but eventually found it to be terrific. The wife loved it as she could just keep her key in her handbag. I liked it because it was her car but she prefers me to drive when we are together, so I didn't have to ask for the key.

I call BS on driving away without a transponder. On the Outlander 1) You need to be very close to the doors to get them to unlock. 2) If the engine is going & the transponder gets out of range, a huge key symbol appeared on the MFD. If you can't see it then you are on drugs.

Wife has just ordered a new Mondeo. She was tossing up between mid-spec & top-of-range & the keyless entry/start sold her on the more expensive model. (I tried to sell her a Skoda but anything beyong Ford/Holden/Toyota is a bit out there for the bunch she works for - had to really fight to get the Mondeo Diesel Wagon as they only wanted V6 Calais wagons
