Fancy Keyless Entry

So still deciding on the purchase of a new/ish touareg but am faced with a dilemma. First world I know but I do a fair bit surfing and stash my key on the car when I am at the beach. Don't really like to put key in a towel and take it down to the sand. So wondering if there is a way around the whole keyless entry thing with the 1.5m or whatever proximity range. I know you can pull the little key out and use that but if the fob is stashed on the car anyone can open it.

Any ideas short of making a lead box wrapped in asbestos wrapped in unobtainium?

I've never read about anyone wanting to or being able to turn the keyless entry feature off or on. Send a PM to moderator Spockcat and ask him since he sells kits to put the feature on if your car doesn't have it.
Similarly i do fair bit of kayaking and dont like to take the key with me.
I have a secure lock that can store the key inside and can be locked to the underside of the touareg.
I have tried opening the doors but it is far enough from the sensors/doors so vehicle cannot be unlocked.
Simple.
Singh, is that one of those giant padlocks that you stash you key in and has a pin code? I wonder if your system is the same as the new touaregs being your car is almost 10 yrs old?

Just found this with a quick search. Interesting the pouch idea.

Yes.
Works with my 2006 v10 and 2015 v8 tdi
Just remove the battery from the fob.....
KESSY has both active and passive fob recognition, so removing just the battery won't work. You have to shield it.
