What really winds me up with this £40k tax threshold is that the cost of cars keeps on increasing, but the £40k threshold is static, pushing more & more (potentially mundane) cars past the threshold.

At the least, you would hope/expect that the threshold increases in line with RPI, as road tax just has.

Hi John, I think you'll find keyless entry (advanced key) only comes as part of the comfort & sound pack. My 21 plate Black Edition has C & S & has keyless entry, but I was loaned a 22 plate A5 sportback S-Line & that only had keyless start.

Hi, My 2021 avant came with both installed. The cassette for the roller net sits behind the top of the back seats & extends into two sockets in the roof lining. Works fine with the luggage cover in place.

I've had several A4's & A5's, from a 2009 B8 to my current 2021 B9.5, over the last few years, & in all cases the air con & stop-start work in perfect harmony.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY. VERY INTERESTING.

MY CAR IS WELL OUT OF ITS WARANTY SO THAT FIX IS OUT. i WILL TRY YOUR SECOND SUGGESTION THOUGH AND PUT SOME TIN FOIL  INSIDE BUMPER AREA TO SEE WHAT DIFFERENCE THAT MAKES.

THANKS AGAIN.

No worries. Hope you get it sorted. I found it extremely frustrating.

Yes it does.

Interesting. I had an A4 B8 that did exactly the same. If I waved the key fob past the OSR corner of the car, the boot lid sprung up of its own accord. It was still under warranty (just), sot he car went back to the dealer several times, without success. The best they could offer was to line the inside of the bumper area with tin foil to block the signal, or to deactivate the advanced key.

The factory didn't have a solution, & eventually Audi took the car back, as I wasn't prepared to accept the tin foil solution.

Hi, Does the car have 'advanced key' keyless entry?
