Keyless entry id3 security

[tomstring]

My ID.3 on order will be keyless. My current car, a SEAT Ateca xcellence lux, is also keyless. I keep my keys in a Faraday pouch which blocks signals. You can buy them on Amazon.

Can you disable the keyless when you lock your Ateca so that you must use the key fob to unlock it as it will not open without using the unlock on the fob.

I don’t know sorry. Only problem I had was in the winter when we couldn’t get back into the car after a walk in the snow because the battery in the fob had gone flat (car was new May 2019). With the help of somebody else dismantled part of the door handle to use the key in the barrel and hold the fob against the steering wheel column. Nightmare! Got home with some of the assist functions disabled, changed the battery, everything ok.

I only asked as it is a function you can do on the Tiguan and gives a little more security when it comes to keyless vehicle theft.

Your SEAT uses rolling radio codes for keyless entry. Your ID.3 does not, it uses UWB which is a completely different technology.

There are definitely cases for putting UWB keys in pouches (to prevent the car detecting the key proximity where vehicle and key are very close to each other for example!) but radio theft security is not one of them.

Ok thanks everyone.

This discussion is for keyless entry. Can anyone comment on the security of the standard remote locking, where you push a button on the key to unlock. How much of the above discussion applies to this technology? Can the signal be captured when the button is pressed?
