Can someone tell me what's the size of the keyfob? I'd like to get a faraday pouch for the spare key, and I don't want it to be too big :)

You won't need a Faraday pouch for the key, as long as you can keep it still. The current generation of keys go to sleep and don't broadcast any signals within a minute of being still wherever they're being stored.

Oh, I've read about VW's claims. UWB and all that. I've also been working in IT for too long to believe in bug-free implementations. If they succeeded, a pouch won't hurt. If they've failed, defense in depth, I guess.
