Comfort Access System offers an even greater degree of convenience: keyless access to your car. Simply by carrying the remote key in a pocket allows you to lock/unlock the doors and trunk by touching the door handle or trunk button. You can also turn the engine on or off by pressing the start/stop button without first inserting the remote key."

Checked with my dealer. My presumptions were correct. With comfort access you still have a slot for the access key to charge its battery.

I actually have keyless go. Its amazing. Credit size card put in your wallet. Walk up to your car. Pull on the door handle and it unlocks. Press a button and it goes. Not a big deal to push a button to close the lock. Saves you from scratching your steering column when your in a rush to start the car. Just my 2 cents.
