GUZZI SVT Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I normally take an extra key with me while I'm on a trip out of town, but this weekend I noticed that when I would lock my car before getting out it, it would beep and not lock until I did it again once out of the car. Then it hit me, I had my luggage in the trunk with my extra key in my overnight bag. When we returned from our sightseeing I had my wife unlock the car from a distance and I went up and got in the car. Sure enough it started!!! From now on I'll give her the other key to carry and will not leave it in my over night bag. I wonder how may of use do this same thing?

JMR76 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I would hide an extra key on trips also inside my other car. It doesn't really work though with this system. I think there is a way to lock the car (maybe using key pad on door) with a key still inside, but I don't trust this. Too easy for someone to still break in then just start the car.

lraia Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think I read somewhere, if you lock the the car with the keypad with the key inside, it disables the ignition until the car is unlocked using the keypad only. markssho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr-exmedic Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 If you're going to put it in the trunk, wrap it in foil, or one of those Mylar bags you sometimes get with electronics--that should block the signal at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
