Having the car not shut off when the key is awol makes sense. What I don't get is why the car doesn't lock itself when the key is out of range.... that would be a great feature....

^^ not if you had a kid get in the car while your walking away and then they are locked in and dont know how to unlock it in the desert heat.

talk about a big lawsuit!

Hook it up to the seat sensor.... if there is no weight in the seat it locks. Besides how the heck do you forgot you had a kid in the passenger seat?

Lol how far youd have to go to make the person next to you throw the car key out the window on the highway.

The car will continue to run and a message is displayed on the dash ("Key out of range", or something like that...).
