It does have power to allow it to transmit at a distance, but remove that power, and its the same thing as a pets RFID tag, meaning it can still transmit, just has to be very close to the reader.

I agree and I think this sounds like the only logical explanation. I'm gonna remove the battery on my spare FOB and make sure I press the buttons until it doesn't unlock doors etc... Then try and open the doors with it in my pocket using the button on the handle....Then I'll try and start the car with it in my pocket. Then I'll stick the FOB in the GINA and try to start. Maybe even stick it NEAR the fobgina and see if that works. I'll report back to settle my own question
