the doors wont lock if you get out and lock the doors if the key fob is in your car.... its idiot proof

did you try it?

its generally not recommended to let a cold motor idle in those temperatures...you should only give it about 30 sec or so to get the oil moving throughout and then proceeed with a light foot. this will decrease the amount of time the engine is operating at colder temperatures

I hate the fact I even have to start my car when it's cold outside. It sounds so pissed off when starting from an ice cold sleep. While the engine was designed with those parameters in mind, it's still not very nice. Definitely not letting it sit there to warm up. I'm not that big of a puss...

And how exactly are you going to lock the car without the keyfob (that's inside) if you're outside?

good point..you'd have to leave it in the car..lock it after you get out and close the door. i think you'd lock the key in there that way...

but then again..it will also open since the key is there...does that mean any a mugger can open the door from the outside if he wants 2 rob u?

I still wouldnt let the car warm up too long, not good to idle continuously for a long time...

chuckd05

you open your door and hit the Lock button on the inside of the door as you are getting out , dont need the key to do that so it can still be inside of the car, it will beep like crazy and re-open your doors

and yea i tried it just to see what happens... we have 2 fobs anyway so why not...

on my buddies bmw 550i he can lock his car, put his fob in the trunk and close it and it will beep at him and open his trunk again, pretty awesome imo

I use to do a little magic trick with my 08 Altima. I would lock all the doors, pop the trunk toss the key fob in the trunk and shut the trunk. The trunk would pop it self open and beep kind of like saying "hay dope, what are you doing"

It's not that cold here in Memphis yet, but come January we'll start getting around 20 degrees...it will very, very rarely go lower than that.

My gfs G35 does the same thing with the trunk.

My guess is that the button on the handle doesn't work while the car is running, only the interior switches, auto lock/unlock, and the lock/unlock buttons on the keyfob itself.
