So I'm off to Silverstone for the F1 Thursday. We are camping so clearly I'll be next to the car with the key in my pocket for at least 4 days without starting the engine. How do I stop it 'waking up' everything I go near it? Thanks!

A friend of mine parks his keyless entry Golf outside our village hall. As he wanders around inside the hall his car keeps unlocking itself when he gets near.

What's the chance that, if you park your keyless entry car on your drive and then drop your keys on the hall table, your car is permanently unlocked whilst it is on your drive.

Oooops.

Could get a faraday pouch for the key. Plenty of options on the likes of Amazon. I got a couple of these...

My previous ones lasted couple of years before cracks in the fabric let the signal seep through.

Thanks for the replies. I'll be constantly in and out of it so the Faraday has been ordered. Easier option that disabling each time!

You can get the wake up light show from a bit away but you have to be pretty close for the car to unlock
