Yes that part is awesome but the fact that you can drive away when the car is running with the "no key found" message up on the center console is a bit ridiculous!

just for the record, when I say lock the door manually, I mean put the actual key in the key hole and turn it (not sure if anyone can interpret that any other way, but just in case...)

OEM remote starts arent that bad plus they work great with the FAST key. I got the Outlander sport remote start... the sexy remote not the one with the long antenna. Yeah i have to restart my car when i open the door cause the car has shut off when you grab the doorto unlock it. but my car is warmed up and ready to go and it runs for 10 min or 30 min. For less than $500, installed it myself in 2hrs ill deal with it plus i dont need it to run longer than 10 min anyway just long enough for my seat to be warm and the water temp to be warm. Oh also this is for autos or SSTs plug and play.

all keyless start cars are like this cause:
I have tried it, I do it almost every morning...
just for the record, when I say lock the door manually, I mean put the actual key in the key hole and turn it (not sure if anyone can interpret that any other way, but just in case...)

Popping the truck wwhile the car is running i can just push the button on the trunk with mine.

That would be stupid.
Lets say you are on the freeway, cruising at 60mph+ and the battery in your FASTkey dies. The car then thinks "it's not in range anymore"
...and once you wreck because you're trying to recover without the assist on your brakes or steering
It's why it beeps to let you know you've taken the key away from the car. If you started the car, left with the key, and left your key while away from the car, you are sort of asking for this to happen. I use a keychain clip and leave it clipped to my belt loop. So I always have the key on me.

If you're on the freeway and you're engine cuts, you'll likely need to slow down and steer to the shoulder. That's what I'm saying. If your brakes lose their vacuum assist and you lose power steering, don't you think to "simply pull over" might be a challenge?
I'm not saying people would wreck all the time, I definitely grew up driving a 4k+lb truck with no power steering and crappy brakes, but if your engine just cut out 1 time while on the highway and then you were told "It's designed to just cut the first time you tap the brakes if the FASTKey isn't detected in range" it would be lawsuit city.
