    Just picked up my TDi 3.0 HSE yesterday with the proximity key. It only works when within about 1-2 metres of the vehicle and knows which door I'm at. Also (and I tried this since I have a metal brief case) the key won't activate anything if it's in a metal case, so that may be a way of isolating it safely inside the D4. In due course I'll try and see if a trailer hitch safe also prevents the key from "talking". Spare key is already safety-wired in SWMBO's purse so it may be the first-ever car I've owned in 30 years that she won't lose the key for it Maybe some day the access will rely on a fingerprint, so it's less likely to have stolen (unless a finger is removed )

    so is it fair to say/ expect that if i left the proximity key in the car or up in the roof tent for a couple of days the battery would probably go flat???
    Seems finding somewhere for a second battery is essential. I bought but hadn't fitted a 2nd battery kit from taxride for my D3. Seems that would be the first job.

    Fatnold,
    I have exactly the same issue, I have Traxides wonderful piece of dual battery system & now have to figure a way of fitting it to the D4. It will go in the original spot as the D3, just have to fabricate the new brackets for the modules...Time, just need more time....

    V8 D4......anyone got one?

    erm....me apparently. Pick it up Friday. Good riddance to the D3. Hope I'm lucky in the Land Rover lucky dip.

    Now I really gotta sell the D1.
