2010 Volkswagen Golf R Red |
VW prefers an all-in-one resolution, they call it the KESSY which stands for Keyless Entry Start as well as Exit System. For the new system to work, the driver needs to carry transmitter, but he doesn't need to carry it in his hand. The Keyless Entry system for the VW Golf, Scirocco And Tiguan is priced from 355 EUR and can be fitted to any car.
After you have installed the KESSY Keyless Entry system, you can open the car via radio remote control and start the engine by pressing a button on the right of the steering wheel. For the system to work, the driver needs to be no more than 1.5 meters away from the car. If the driver is in this radius, the car automatically unlocks itself, and when it needs to lock it, he just has to press the small lock button located on the exterior door handles.

Volkswagen Press Release:
Volkswagen’s automatic locking and starting system, “Keyless Entry Start and Exit System (KESSY)”, may now also be ordered for the A segment. It offers the driver the highest level of convenience as the transmitter must be carried but not necessarily held in the hand. Golf, Scirocco or Tiguan customers can now order KESSY for an additional charge for 355 Euros.
If a vehicle is equipped with "KESSY", it can be opened via radio remote control and the engine may be started by pressing a button installed to the right of the steering wheel. The details: as soon as a driver enters a radius of approximately 1.50 meters around the vehicle, the transmitter is identified by the proximity sensors in the door handles and by a radio impulse sensor in the key housing. Touching the door handles or the
logo on the boot lid automatically unlocks the vehicle. The release of the steering lock and the ignition of the engine, both necessary before the start of the journey, can be carried out using pure electronics and without a key in the ignition lock. The engine can be started by pressing the starter button. After leaving the vehicle, the driver can lock the vehicle by simply pressing the small lock button located on the exterior door handles.
The KESSY system was originally developed for the Phaeton and emphasizes the Volkswagen strategy of
making luxury-class top innovations accessible to the smaller vehicle segments and, therefore, all customers.
