I use a faraday bag for my keyfob, and it has always worked fine. Today I was able to open boot, driver’s door and start engine. Arrived at destination, shut door and it would not lock. Checked pockets, in case key still in car, and found keyfob secure in faraday bag. I suppose I can only blame the bag (£5 Halfords special).🙄

I guess the metallic lining can deteriorate, but it shows the wisdom of testing it now and then.

 

However, remember you can turn off the KESSY system when you lock the car ( such as overnight or in dodgy areas) by locking it with the key fob and then touching the dimple within a second. The indicators will flash twice, and you have to open the car with the key fob next time.

 

It's all belt and braces anyway as the key fob will stop sending a signal if it is left stationary for a few minutes (for recent cars).
