Any advice appreciated!

Ask them to update your car modules to avoid any theft.
There is a lot of confusion around what is security update and how it works?
I will try to explain.
There are two modules which should be updated for the security purpose;
1- CAS: Vital: With updated software, you cannot clone a new key, till you insert you ket into the slot.
2- FRM: Important but not mandatory: With the updated software, it avoids the dropping of the window with the key/ other methods.
A good dealer should update both of these, but in common practice, I have seen some of them updating just CAS.
HTH.
