I never saw this make it to the UK but always thought it was a good idea. My Jag had a pin code to disable valet mode, shame that wasn't extended to ignition.

Super coolLike the French used to do?
I especially like the mismatching backlit screens 
I can't actually find anything definitive on this. I have a new Audi arriving in a few months which will have Advanced Key and intend to actually test it to be sure, so I know whether I need to keep the key in a metal box!
You will have sleeping keys they have been around for some time now but test them when the car arrives. You won't get a manufacturer to tell you when they were introduced as that would be admitting the security on earlier cars is lacking. There is a thread somewhere with information on BMW fobs that are made by Valeo, the serial number tells you if its a sleeping fob. That thread is from around 2018 though.
I believe there are two possible exploits. The first just boosts your signal from the key to the car and the car will open. For that, you need to keep the key in a Faraday cage or a metallic tin.
The second exploit intercepts your key signal and blocks so it so you keep trying the button and the interceptor learns the next rolling code in the sequence. Then unblocks your signal and on the next button press it opens your car. After that they just give your car a later rolling code and it opens. Keeping your key in a tin won’t help with that sadly.

I thought rolling code reverse engineeering was only, theoretically, on much older cars that had used a common texas instruments semiconductor '*80' with a possible cryptographic hack.
hacking of the mobile phone entry/drive apps sounds as though that should be on the up - install (remote control) malware on a phone. ?

Nope, one of the big US hack stores sells an interceptor for current cars, including BMWs, Minis, Mercedes and Audis.

I believe you're talking about rolljam (although it works slightly differently to how you have described it), Samy Kamkar did a great talk about it and explains it in more detail here:

The majority of keyless thefts just take advantage of relay attacks. The equipment is fairly cheap and it's fairly easy to build some kit yourself if you know what you're doing. If you're worried about that type of theft I'd recommend looking at what options your manufacturer offer to disable the functionality or minimise the risk. I know a few people that used faraday pouches but didn't regularly check they were still protecting them. They had cars stolen
If you use a faraday pouch make sure you regularly test it.I'm waiting on a new Octavia and asked the dealers about the sleeping key, they didn't have a clue.
I downloaded the manual and there is no mention of it at all, but if you check in the new Leon manual with what would appear to be an identical key it is mentioned.
The Skoda does look to have an option in the settings to just turn the keyless entry system off, still using it to start the car but not open the doors.
Dunno if Audi will be using the same system.

thanks videos interesting .. so although he discusses mitigations to rolljam, I wondering which cars are susceptible, most button cars ?
so the devil or deepe blue sea
find a better dealer ?

You've got me wondering now, I don't see any air con or even a temperature controlled fan. It's also got a fairly bog standard radio. So I'm wondering if they've been retrofitted.
Apparently the one in the Transporter was an aftermarket
... subsequently saw thatcham do do a good/bad classification of relayability ... don't get a mazda or mondeo
https://www.thatcham.org/what-we-do/security/consumer-rating/ I assume a pass is only if the key sleeps.

I've always considered it a tiny improvement in convenience in exchange for a massive reduction in security, although I appreciate the newer systems with sleeping fobs are better.
Whilst not standard on most Audi models, their recent shift from the usual German smorgasbord of individual options to a few select 'packs' means that you now often have it foisted on you if it's included in a pack with other options you want but can't specify separately.
