This method is not 100 100% certain to work because it is dependent on a variety of variables. Another possibility is that the fob was not authenticated. This could be caused by several factors, including someone nearby pressing their own button, another device that is sending a signal at that time, or the key being partially protected. This is especially likely when the vehicle was recently reprogrammed or changed to a new key. In modern vehicles like the Octavia vRS or ENYAQ iV there is no requirement for the key fob to be activated. If the key is in proximity to the antennas located on the door handles the car will automatically unlock. This system was developed to ensure that the car will only be driven by the owner.

However, in skoda keys or buttons of the key may be broken. If this is the case, you'll need to replace the whole key. Modern keys don't have any mechanical lock cylinders They are all electronically controlled. The system works as follows when keys are pressed on the handle (or the boot lock button which is only available on later models), it sends a signal to the car which activates the radio antennas inside the doors. These antennas scan the area surrounding the vehicle for the key signal and, when they spot one, they connect to the car. This is how the doors are opened and, if the system is configured to do so, the “welcome light” is switched on. If the key isn't detected, a message will appear on the infotainment display that reads “key is not recognized”. This could be due to many reasons, such as another person pressing the key at the same moment, a mobile sending signals or the key not being partially covered.

The latest generation of keyless locking, which is found in vehicles like the fourth-generation OCTAVIA as well as the ENYAQ IV – removes this trigger by scanning the environment with the antennas located on the front doors, while the driver is in a seated position. The doors will open and welcome lights will turn on if the car detects that the key is working. It is important to remember that this function is only active if the conditions are satisfied: The driver's seat must be occupied, the seat belt must be fastened and the brakes must be applied. If any of these conditions are not met, the system will not be able to recognize the key, and the engine won't start. Consequently, the “key not recognized” warning light will remain on the dashboard. 4. Check the door locks If you've pressed the unlock button on the key, and the car still doesn't open, then it's time to examine the door locks. Remove the plastic covering of the door handle by using a thin edge like using a screwdriver. Insert the key, turn it and the door will swing open. If the door lock functions correctly, it will have a tiny sensor inside that will detect the presence of the key to the door and send a signal to the vehicle to unlock or lock. If this isn't working, it could be due to a problem with the lock cylinder itself, or perhaps the electronics. The best way to fix it is to call a locksmith in your area, they can tell you precisely what the issue is. KESSY is KODA's contemporary keyless locking system.
