I have had my 2021 Karoq  Edition about 7 weeks. We have the electric boot door (standard) and the KESSY system (don't remember whether it is standard or optional) with the remote boot opening. On two occasions we have come down in the morning and found the boot door open. My wife wondered if a cat had set off the opening by walking under the back of the car, but it appears that the key has to be close to the car for the system to work. So I did some experimentation. The key will open and close the car from as far away from the car as I can get in our house, but you need a much longer press on the button for it to operate. However, I can't get the boot to close via the key until I walk up to about 6 feet away from the car. 

 

So it appears that, as I tend to keep the keys in my pocket, it looks like I am accidentally pressing the boot open button some time during the evening. I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen, and I post this as a potential warning to others. I don't know whether the Kamiq has an electric boot door, but I'm sure the Kodiaq has.

Useful to know, thanks.
When I get home, I put the key into a Faraday pouch that I bought off Amazon.

I don't think you need to worry about that. The only way to open the door or tailgate is either with the key very close to the car or by pressing a button on the key. The reason for using Faraday pouches it to prevent car theives using electronic gadgets to amplify the key signal to steal the car. The KESSY keys switch off if they are not moved for 5 minutes, so all you need to do is to ensure that you cannot press any of the buttons inadvertantly. Leaving them on a tale would be sufficient. Just don't leave them in your pocket.

It's a similar problem to the windows opening when the key's are in your pocket and the button gets pressed.

You can also swipe the door handle sensor a few seconds after locking the car with the fob to disable Kessy.

 

A soon as I'm home I dump the keys out of my pocket as I'm paranoid about buttons being pressed accidentally.

Won’t stop the boot from opening if the button accidentally pressed in your pocket, as the OP posted, though.

This has happened to me with my new Kodiaq on 3 or 4 times over the last couple of weeks.  Seems more sensitive now. 

 

Wish it could be disabled.
