I have often wondered this also...

If you activate the "doors locked after x seconds" feature, doesn't this help against car jacking?

I can't really think of a scenario where this would come in handy. But good to know I guess!

This has been documented for a few years now.

I'm sure there are many good uses. For example leaving the car running to keep warm/cool, lock car and can dash into shop.

Yep, I use it to start my car then go inside and do my final preps before leaving for work and the car is not absolutely bone cold when I have to leave.

If you have a key or two attached to a fob, the last thing I would want to do is leave it in my pocket for an hour or so per day when wearing trousers/suits- learned that lesson.

I was surprised to find a moderator had dug up a thread for a pointless comment.
