Keyless Entry

Wicksy · September 1, 2013

Picked up my Ultra Blue F Sport today (pictured) - I'm absolutely delighted with it in all aspects, its so much better in real time than in the pictures and as Ian said earlier, the so called "drone" is a complete myth - one disappointment though - I had the impression that the F Sport came with keyless entry as standard - has anyone had to specify this as an optional extra or have I indeed been misled and should have it as standard?

I think it can be enabled and disabled in the settings so check it is switched on!

Hi

Nice blue finish the paint quality on these cars is great.

Yes the drone is none existent, took my Lux out today for a run on dual carriage way, flawless absolutely flawless.

The keyless entry is standard on the Lux and I thought for certain on the F Sport.

Are there two dimples on the front door handles top and bottom?

If yes you touch the top and bottom dimple to lock and then open the car by gripping the handle, there is a sensor strip on the inside. With the key in your pocket it should open.

The key fobs still have traditional lock unlock buttons and boot release.

The range of the key less entry is 0.78m or so the manual says, I reckon you have it. My dealer was reluctant to let me pick up today and spent some time on Friday afternoon going through everything including the key less entry.

I have had since Friday evening yesterday and today to get to grips with the technology things like an I Pod and a phone being connected by Bluetooth caused a problem, seems there can only be one connection via BT at a time.

Thanks for the info guys - I'm a happy bunny now - it does indeed have keyless entry - I was expecting a card rather than a fob - the dealer never mentioned whether it was keyless or not!

i've not heard of an IS that hasn't got keyless entry, and I'm surprised the sales exec didn't point this all out to you. Please let us know that you have it sorted!
