Keyless entry fob -is it motion enabled?

[bakerdave]

Can't find any info on this. Just purchased a 10 month old MG3 hybrid + Trophy. Am I right in thinking that the fob becomes inactive after x seconds ? To prevent man in the middle style hacks whilst the car is locked on my drive at night. I have a "Faraday" box that I keep the spare keyfob in but do I need to put my in use bunch of keys in as well?

I would imagine you need to put both sets in the bag, or bags. I bought mine from Amazon, there were two bags in the bundle. I use both. aitch

You can easily test whether the key fob becomes inactive after x seconds. Place it on one of the tires and try after a short time whether the doors open or not...

I don't think the MG fobs do this (unfortunately).

It is only the Cyberster and S5 keys that have sleeping technology to put the key to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity

Experimented this morning. Either the fob goes to sleep or the battery is weak, because the car wouldn't unlock with key on the ground next to car after 10 minutes inactivity.
