The problem with having your Advanced key scanned and vehicle lifted from under your nose is well known. I understand that movement sensors may have been incorporated in some keys recent to minimise the risk but if you are on the move e.g. walking in car park then the risk remains.

Is there any way that this function can be either turned off on MMI or coded out on a 2020MY A4 - main dealer didn't appear to want to talk about this (surprise).

Keeping a key in a metal box at home seems a bit ars* about t*t when this is meant to be a convenience item.

Any light from that can be shed on this by those in the know would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
