It's in manuals from 2018 onwards. I downloaded all of them to see when it went back to. In the 2017 versions it doesn't exist. I've not had chance to test it though. Was hoping someone had.I was under the impression this was only just brought in, as in MY20 model years? If the manual is correct, then good bye faraday pouch!
So does this mean once in sleep mode the key can’t be copied or it can be but because the key has not moved the copy key won’t open car ?Does anyone know or has tested the time it takes for the keyless key to go to sleep? This excerpt is from both the 2018 and 2019 Leon manual but does not exist in the 2017 version.

If the key fob is in sleep mode, it won’t be transmitting a signal. Therefore, there’s no signal for would-be perpetrators with signal amplification equipment to pick up and fool the car into thinking the key is within range.So does this mean once in sleep mode the key can’t be copied or it can be but because the key has not moved the copy key won’t open car ?
Surely they will then just wait for you to return and go in and then just use the copied key and get it that way
I defo think Ghost Autowatch is way to go it’s very appealing
This is a good point. If the key is within communication range maybe it stays active. So the only way to test would be to use the relay kit thieves use or leave the key in a set place and use the other key to move the car within range of a key you've left somewhere.Yer maybe if the key is left in range it doesn’t disable, makes sense!

I've read in some Skoda forums it's been confirmed on their keys as 2 minutes. It's hard to test as stated above though.Can anyone help to clarify this?
