RE: Best Discovery so far...

I thought most new cars have an anti-hijack function, i.e. the car will lock itself after driving off. I'm sure the Evoque must be the same, stand to be corrected tho.

Yes the car does lock automatically on reaching 10mph,but if your keys are say in the drivers door pocket will you be able to open it as with the keyless entry.I will test the outcome later.

Please could someone test what happens if you take the key out of range without locking the car. Does it lock automatically after a period of time?

Not sure what happens about switching off once you've driven off from the smart key, never tried this.

I asked the dealer about this. If you drive off when someone else has the key, you will be able to keep driving until you run out of fuel. If you turn off the engine you just won't be able to turn it back on again untill you have a key present.
I know some smart cars shut down so if someone drives off the most you can get is a couple hundred meters before the engine cuts. This helps with theft(car jacking) and also if your passenger ges out with the key you are still hopefully close enough to get it back.
Would like this to be an option you could activate in the menu's. Where you could stipulate the amount of time before engine shuts down. This way if you did drive off and you passenger had the key you'd get a countdown and a chance to return to where you dropped them off, or an amount of time to safely park the car.
If you were car jacked I.doubt the car jackets would turn around and go back and ask for the key, they'd just abandon the car and at least you'd know it's relatively nearby.

RE: Best Discovery so far...

I managed to lock myself out of my 911 turbo by opening the front compartment remotely after unlocking the car but without opening the doors. Put the keys down, find what I want, close the lid and the car locks with the keys inside.

In my case, it was in Germany, miles from anywhere and I had to get my lovely neighbour to fly out the next day with the spare keys. Not good.

Sounds like the RRE is protected against this. The car has to be able to detect the presence of the key and determine if the key is inside or outside the car. From an engineering perspective, that is tough to do.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

RE: Best Discovery so far...

As the Evoque is a titchy bit stingy with storage spaces, I usually store my key under the steering wheel. If just fits in nicely on top of the telescopic lock lever, but it is thus out of sight and out of mind. The Evoque has saved my butt a few times already, due to it being more intelligent than me.

olde, have you just solved the "where to put the key" question... no good if you have other keys hanging of course! but if it's on it's own...
