I miss the simple robust hooks in the saloon boot for....... plastic shopping bags. Stops the contents wandering off, about the boot on the way home. I always have to engineer in, a restraining wall with boxes of cleaning tutt and wedges of hivis jackets in my Rover.

When you return to the car briefly to unload shopping and open the boot remotely, then reclose it - it ought to relock the car, or at least not unlock the car doors with the boot long press.

I miss the machine on my Audi that came out of the dash and applied gaffa tape to my wife's mouth when she whined that I'm one mile an hour over the speed limit.

Maybe I just dreamed that one. I forget.

Favourite bit: the sloping cubby hole thing at the front of the console. Dead handy for keys/wallet/Werther's Originals/phone etc. It's just a natural place to put things.

The "not unlock the car doors" HAS happened on my Tourer on couple of occasions, I can't seem to deliberately replicate it though, then it does it out of the blue, again unreplicateable (is that even a word? ) lol

Not me going daft then - I thought I had managed to unlock the boot, without the doors unlocking, then as I slammed the boot shut, it gave its three flashes. I thought that maybe I had accidentally pressed the remote. I tried a few times to replicate it, but couldn't.

Which was what brought this up in the thread.

You're not alone. Nor am I it now seems.

mine does this.

SOMETIMES... holding the unlock button will pop the boot without unlocking the rest of the car, but more often than not, holding the button will unlock the rest of the car, and then pop the boot.

I wonder if it is distance related - As in it sees the signal, which is interrupted, then sees the same signal again - interpreting it as two presses?

On each occasion it's happened to me, I've been approaching the car from the rear, not sure if that has any bearing on it or just coincidence.
