So since you are in your car with the key fop , hypothetically someone could just open your door by double pressing the button on the door handle ??

The car is intelligent enough to know if your fob is in or out of the car. You can always try it out yourself!
|
^ I'm sure if it wasn't there would be a rash of complains of getting car jacked GTA style lol :BOUNCE:
|
there are sensors on the car that can distinguish if the key fob is either inside the cabin, outside by either the driver or passenger door or inside the trunk and will function according to its relative position.
If the key fob is inside the cabin and you lock the door while inside, it will not allow the doors to be open by pressing the handle request button unless you have another valid key fob for the car. |
I've been told car also knows if the fob is in the trunk, and won't let you close the trunk with the fob in there.
So I tested this out the other day, and it works as advertised, BUT only if the car's doors are locked and windows up. If the windows are down, and/or the car unlocked, and you can get into the car and operate the trunk release, the car will happily let you shut your fob in the trunk. But if the windows are up and door locked, and you try to close the trunk with the fob inside, the car emits a long beep and the trunk pops right back open. Pretty slick, I think. |
^^ Happens to me all the time.... try being drunk and waking up inside someone elses trunk...... wheww!! that was a long night!
|
Not sure if anyone is known of this other feature, Press and hold the unlock button makes the windows go down to half way or all the way down, Just release the unlock button where the windows go down to your desired location.

Since we are on this type of subject, I didn't know until recently that the car retains power to raise the windows and close the sunroof for about 45 seconds after the engine is shut off if you haven't opened any of the doors. Open either door and all bets are off.

Also, I tend to use the inside door lock so I can lock the car before my passenger closes their door. |
