Then I think you probably have a fault in your keyless entry system somewhere. Fortunately this is one of those things that is very easy to demonstrate to your dealership!

Further to the above, I tried again this morning.G43FAN wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 5:37 pm I know it works if the key is in the main car. (I stood tutting at the door handle which refused to lock at my touch until I realised the key was in the central console.)
I have a family edition.. I just went out and opened the boot using the boot specific button on the key fob. threw the key in the boot and closed it up. The doors all remained locked. I walked away and waited a couple of minutes.. went back to the car and the boot opened. Doors were still locked.
Took the key back out of the boot, closed it and walked away. I put the key down elsewhere went back.. boot was locked. I think there's something wrong with yours.
Do you have a protective pouch for the key? Is it possible this was on top of the key blocking the signal?
Opened the car with a double press.
Opened the boot and threw the key in then closed the boot.
Waited some 20 minutes, the car remained open. (As I hadn't opened any doors or activated anything else I assume the car should have auto locked but it didn't)
I then however did the same but used the 2nd key to attempt lock the car, It locked and I could not retrieve the original key, which I assume by this point was asleep anyway.
This is how we managed to lock the keys in the boot, be interested to know if it is the same for others.
Lock the car fully.
then just open the boot via the handle, (do not unlock the car doors)
place keys in boot, and shut.
leave for 10 mins or so and see if the boot or doors open on return.
Our does not reopen, and we need the spare to unlock in this scenario. We have a Family Pro Performance with keyless.

I can understand why I was told by my VW dealer that you shouldn't be able to lock the keys in the boot, if your car has keyless entry. This is how my previous car, Ford Fiesta ST, worked. It's becoming clear that the VW system has some issues for some people. I would have said get in contact with VW customer care, but I did exactly that - bloody useless!sykick wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 8:04 am This is how we managed to lock the keys in the boot, be interested to know if it is the same for others.

Pro Max, with keyless
10:19 locked car with remote
10:20 unlocked boot only
10:20 put key in boot, closed boot
Messages: iD light flashed red, car beeped, a message flashed on the screen which was unreadable as boot was closing
10:21 put key in boot, closed boot, used daughter to read the message which was "key in car" - the message flashed quickly, so effectively useless
10:35 car fully locked, couldn't open the boot, so unlocked with 2nd key
Thinking about it, the real problem isn't the car locking after a period of time, it's the poor alert to the key being inside the car. I certainly don't want the car perma-unlocked so someone can drive off with it.
Even more reasons to have the App updated to something half-decent to permit unlocking.

OK..this is getting really odd.
Car fully locked, I went around the back of the house to approach directly from behind with keyfob in hand.
About 3 foot from the car (without me doing any pressing) the car opens and the mirrors fold out. (This I think is a setting that can be changed but I can't find where)
I opened the boot, placed my key on the boot floor and closed the boot.
I can see the car from where I am sat and it has not locked itself.
According to the manual your scenario should not occur.
From the manual -
Vehicle locks itself automatically
The vehicle locks again automatically after approximately 45 seconds if one of the following conditions applies:
The vehicle was unlocked but not opened.
The ignition was not switched on.
The boot lid was not opened.
The vehicle was unlocked by means of the lock cylinder.
The vehicle was locked with the control button in the vehicle interior.
Response when locking the vehicle with a second vehicle key
The vehicle key inside the vehicle is disabled for activating the vehicle’s drive system as soon as the vehicle is locked from outside with a second vehicle key. Press the button on the inside vehicle key in order to release it for activating the vehicle's drive system Activating the vehicle’s drive system.

I think you're narrowing in on it, the difference we have is that we do not have the "unlock on approach" activated so therefore the scenario of having to unlock the boot only doesn't apply for you.
I'll attempt to fiddle around with it more later.

I think it will only 'not' lock again, if the doors have been unlocked. In our scenario only the boot was unlocked/opened not the doors.
And you are correct I have turned of the 'unlock on approach' feature as I did not like it unlocking when I walked past with the keys.

Did this yesterday with my ID3. Opened the boot using the boot door handle with the car key in my laptop bag which I was holding in the other hand. Put my laptop bag in the boot and took my work bag out. Forgot that the car key was in my laptop bag and closed the boot. Walked away and looked back - I didn't remember locking the car - the mirrors were in so I thought I must have locked it. Went back into the office. Came out at 5pm and couldn't get into the car. Then remembered where the key was! Watched a video on YouTube of how you can lock your key in the boot of an ID3. Lease company paid for a taxi for the 40 mile round trip to get my spare key.
Yes, crazy isn’t it. My previous car was an ICE fiesta, and you couldn’t do that with that car. Ford put a sensor in boot.Magsie wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2023 3:38 pm Did this yesterday with my ID3.

We accidentally left the key in the boot and when we tried to lock the car by touching the front door handle it wouldn’t lock. Good feature.
In @Magsie ‘s case it looks as if the car was already locked (but with the hatchback open). By the time they returned to the car, the key would have gone to sleep, and would not be recognised when trying to unlock by touching the handle.
