Yeah, I had that encounter with Camry Hybrid. You dont even put keys in the ignition. Just have keyfob in proximity and press button to start car -- nm* - budice May 16, 10:44
Mmm hmm. Your car will also sense if you leave your keys in the car and won't lock it if so. -- nm - ÜMLaut May 16, 10:42 9
- that's what's kinda neat (and I was thinking about this at lunch today) is that I really can't lock my keys in the car with this - oblique May 16, 10:46 8

        yeah, it is a bit unnerving at first but it is quick to engage after I take my foot off the brake. It is *almost* unnoticable -- nm - oblique May 16, 10:56
      - Oh honey -- nm - Apple CarPlay May 16, 10:50
  - Yeah. It gets weird though if you are someplace and run inside to get something. It's also been weird when both my wife and I have our "keys" on us. -- nm - volnelk May 16, 10:48
