I understand you cannot use the remote to lock / unlock when the key is in the ignition, but can you lock / unlock with the key in the door while another key is in the ignition?

But probably not with the door open which you would need to do to get out of the car.

Why would you have to have the door open?

Put the key in the ignition, turn on the car --> Exit the vehicle, close the door --> Use the second key to lock the door.

It doesnt work. There is no way to lock the car if the key is in the ignition.

Misread your previous post, I was thinking if you start the car and the doors are closed you can push the button on the console and lock the doors but if you open the door and push the button on the console to lock the doors they won't lock.

Redneck answer.... Put a club on the steering wheel and go back in the house.

Do people even still use those things? I remember back in the 80's and early 90's they were all the rage.

How on earth can they give you a ticket if you leave your car idling in your own driveway, that's private property. Put up a no trespassing sign, and have them sited for trespassing if they come on to your private property to ticket your vehicle

I have the spare key in the ash trey, then with the car running before i get out, i press down the passenger lock, then i exit with my spare key, and manually lock the driversides door with the spare.
