It’s a security measure to stop the fob signal being intercepted by signal amplification equipment by any would be perpetrators who are looking to steal a car. I seem to remember reading that on the Golf mk8, the keyless function goes to sleep if the key fob after a set period of time ( sorry, don’t know what that set period is) if the fob isn’t moved. I’m more than capable of pressing a button on the fob to unlock and lock my car. My Polo GTI+ has keyless entry / keyless start and the fob batteries are still going strong nearly 18 months after I took delivery of the car, but I do disable keyless as I consider it to be a pretty pointless feature (that’s just my opinion though). Presumably your car has keyless entry? It’s not unusual for they key fob batteries to need replacing at around the 1 year mark on keyless cars. I’ve read on various forums of a few owners needing to replace their key fob batteries within the first year.
