On a locked Superb with KESSY, can I...

a) Open all the doors just by grasping the Passengers door handle? (I know the car can be set up to do that from the Drivers door handle)

Open the boot/hatch without taking the key out of my pocket?

Many thanks.

When I go out later I will try. I know that the front passenger door opens with "KESSY" being in my pocket.

I don't know about unlocking all of the doors from the passenger side, but with the KESSY system, the unlocking/locking work through area sensors. The boot can be opened once you are round the back of the car, same with the driver or passenger door, you have to be within the area of sensors for each to work.

Hope that helps a bit.

My experience of the Kessy system is that you can open all four doors from front passenger and driver doors only. Rear doors cannot be used as they do not have the sensors installed. This also requires the appropriate setting in the MFD to open all doors. Mine was initialy set to open front only (default perhaps).

The boot can be opened without the key as long as the key is in the area the sensors are using.

Only thing I have not tried and keen to understand is whether; when sitting in a locked vehicle with Kessy, can someone approach the car and open driver or passenger door. With the way the sensors work about key detection etc., I doubt it, but I thought about this the other day and felt it was a potential security risk and haven't had a chance to test it.

Thank you. I look forward to the definitive answers.

As far as can remember - no. First of all, if you have "auto lock" on which locks the doors when car becomes mobile, then it turns off with opening the doors from inside. Otherwise it would be a security threat. And keep in mind the sensors do understand on which side is the key. E.g. if you leave the key inside the car you can't lock the doors from outside with the finger touch (safety again), so in plain words NO.

First of all regarding the OP questions. Yes you can set the front passenger door to unlock all the doors, this is set using the maxi dot screen, and the default setting is that it only unlocks the passenger door.

And when the key is "in" the car, the system will detect and recognise that. Actually quite a few functions are activated when the system detects that the key "came" in, the steering wheel gets unlocked, the immobiliser disables and the door handle sensors become deactivated.

I hope that helped

If you stand with the key on one side of the car, the other side cannot be opened. The car knows which side of it the key is and only that door will open. Same with the boot.

KESSY is very useful and I recommend it.

But you can `programme` the car so that as soon as you grasp the door handle (either drivers or passengers) ALL the doors will unlock...is that right?

mandp,

I have checked and as most of the above I can confirm that with the key in my pocket I could: -

1. Unlocked either front door if I was stood next to it but if my wife was trying the other front door it would not open, as standard.

2. Neter rear passnger doors would open in standard set up. I have not tried the maxi dot change.

3. Was able to unlock the boot in either boot or hatchback mode.

Mandp, yes, as I mentioned in my earlier post, you CAN programme the car to unlock all doors when you open the front passenger door.
