Did John Major spec that? Any peas?

You can turn off auto door opening on the MMI in the RS4. New feature afaik.

Thanks I will look into this.

Paperwork all done, insurance company playing up but should be sorted in the morning, so finally go from ordered one to own one tomorrow very busy morning so should keep me from counting down... hopefully not long for others who have also 'ordered one'.

Winner, make sure you get some pics up. Forecast for tomorrow looks decent too

Not explicitly admitting it.
They did concede I was not the first customer to ask if the keyless entry part of the Advanced Key could be disabled. They didn't think it could but they then said that they usually fitted a Ghost immobiliser.
Which is kind of an implicit admission, or a poor taste sales pitch.

I'm still trying to get a definitive answer as to whether "Advanced key" can be disabled by coding, I'm still searching. I'm keen on the B&O, but it's only available as part of the Comfort and Sound Pack.

To be clear, we are talking about the keyless entry system (Advanced Key) and not auto lock/auto unlock

Yes, key just sits in pocket etc and push button start. When I got it the doors unlocked as you approached the car, now they don't.

So the doors unlock when you touch the door handle as standard with advanced key.
If you can stop that and require the button on the remote to unlock the doors then that is good. I think that should prevent relay theft which is what I (and others) are worried about.

The auto lock & auto unlock I have seen in Vag Com is where the car locks when you drive off over 10mph and then unlocks when you remove the key, which won't be directly applicable as all cars have keyless go, but was concerned when I saw you used the same terminology.

Thanks for the info.

Well done chappies.

That is great to know thank you. I started to look at the sleeves you can put your keys in to block the signal on amazon and they generally have good reviews however the bad reviews claim they stop working after a while.

Why did you guys pay extra for the advanced key then disable it?

I think they are saying it is part of a pack where they want the other bits

[Graeme4130]

Yay, finally on its way

It is the only way to get the B&O system as part of the comfort and sound pack. Real pain.
