Runlock for the Skoda Superb B8, keyless and key
Superb B8 cars turn up in plain-clothes work, security patrol and premium private hire, and they come with either keyless start or a conventional key. Either way the driver sometimes needs to leave the Superb running with its equipment live. The question is how to manage that without the fob or key staying aboard.
Keyless and key cars on one fleet
Fleets buying B8s over a few years often end up with both types. Our coverage takes in the keyless car and the key version, and the module is configured for whichever you have. List them separately when you enquire and each unit is matched to its car.
A fob left on the seat
With keyless start the temptation is to leave the fob inside so the car carries on running. That leaves a running Superb with its means of starting lying on the seat in a car park. For cars carrying radios, laptops or recording kit, that is the exposure fleet managers lose sleep over.
Running with the fob in your pocket
CAN KONTROL RUNLOCK holds the B8 running once the driver walks off with the key or fob, and the Superb can be locked. Locking differs between keyless and key cars, and an engineer confirms how it works on yours. The B8's CAN bus supplies everything the module watches, and the car goes back to normal if the driver's door is opened, the handbrake released or a pedal pressed while the agreed conditions say no.
