Good Reviews of 1.5 engine!

I thought it would it be good for people, who have yet to take delivery of their Karoq (including myself), more specifically people with the 1.5 engine in both manual and DSG, to hear from people who haven't encountered any problems with the 'kangarooing' with their car. I haven't come across man...

Lock with the keyfob and within five seconds touch the door sensor. Kessy disabled, no need for faraday pouches or tin boxes.

Thanks Tom

Re: Autowatch Ghost

No not mine, I saw it on Facebook. Faraday case, is that for the keyfob? Yes for the keyfob, to block the signals that the key gives out, hopefully meaning that if someone tried to scan around the house with a range extender to try get into the car without the key, they wouldn't be able to! I just ...

Re: Autowatch Ghost

I just messaged skoda uk about a brand new karoq being stolen and what can be done to reduce the risk of theft. Was it yours that was stolen? If so, sorry to hear that! I haven't taken delivery of the Karoq yet however the KESSY system really worries me! I'm probably over thinking it. I'm sure a de...

Autowatch Ghost

Hi Guys, Just wondered whether anybody has any experience of Autowatch Ghost; a really discreet engine immobiliser connected to the CANbus system that requires a series of in car key presses to activate the starter motor! I've read lots of good things and really considering, especially with todays l...

Re: KESSY

Yes you can lock the car and disable Kessy. Lock with the key button and within 5 seconds touch the handle sensor. Wait 10 seconds before testing. You then unlock the car with the key button. One useful thing is folding mirrors. When they are folded you know the car is locked. Tom Thanks Tom, It's ...

KESSY

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere before, but a week after placing my Karoq order I'm having horrible feelings regarding the KESSY. I haven't had a car this "techy" before and the KESSY worries me a little. How secure is it, can you turn it off etc? Any advice would be great.
Thanks
