I went outside started the car ran back inside to change, hopped in the car with the wife, drove 25km to Walmart jumped out to tried to lock the doors by pushing the button on the handle and nothing. In that moment I realized my keys are still at the house. So we are now sitting here waiting for my keys to arrive lol.
I have now learnt a lesson the hard way haha

If you close the door w/o keys in the car it should start beeping/whistling/yelling at you (mine does), let alone the flashing display....woops

Nope nothing, not even a beep.

When I bought my car I was afraid I'd be able start the car in the garage while the keys we're still in the house. Thankfully, it can't because there have been several mornings when I have tried to start the car without them.

He was saying he started the car, then walked inside and set the keys down. I start the car and walk off all time (especially when I've just flashed the car). Every time I close the door w/o keys inside while the car's on, the entire neighborhood knows it (which I am actually thankful for, it's telling me "now don't be an idiot or you will be stranded at WalMart). I'm just kidding, it was too easy!

really? do you have the fast key?

My car won't let me put the car in gear unless i have the key in the car. Although i was able to put the car in gear one time and forgot the keys inside the house.. weird.

ive done this, but without the bad results.. i got lucky and realised it before i turned the key off.. my mazda has a credit card sized key, wish they did that on ours!

Pick up a key magnet, and stick it under the car just incase it happens again.

erm... that would totally setup a fastkey car for being stolen....

not really, mine wouldnt unlock without me standing right next to the door i was trying to open. couldnt even unlock passenger door with keys on drivers side. so just stash it somewhere in the back area of the car.

Only thing I might be worried about is what might happen to a FASTkey when exposed to a magnet. Is there any sort of RAM/ROM in the key fob?

You could remove the emergency key from the extra fob and just hide it

It needs the fob to work (the chip enables the car to start)

hahaha I knew this was going to happen one day...
Yeah, when I realized you/someone else can actually take off after the car is started with or "without" the keys. I no-longer leave it idling.
Just asking to get it stolen & stripped.

I wear my key & only take it off when Im home. lol
Sometimes only when I take a shower, sometimes I forget Im still wearing my keys. lol. My precious...

wow! glad you hadnt gone as far. I once forgot to give my parents who borrowed my car the key to the gas tank on my galant. They drove 400 miles and 3 states over and called me while at work. Needless to say i had to drive 14 hours (traffic screwed me) and work before and after trip. didnt sleep for like 37 hours or something at that point lol.

Sure its unrelated but just pointing out that you got lucky =P

Now ive been considering doing a custom modification to ensure this will never happen to me.

First off Start off with the spare key fob. Take off Casing and buttons. Rig up Voice command to my voice only and say something like "LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE" to unlock it and "Check yoself befo you wizzitywreck yoself!" to lock it. Then final step 3 get a surgeon to install it in your lets say, left butt cheek.

All said and done! no more fast key problems! Except your daily checkup for battery life!


PS anyone got a quoted shipping cost on a surgeon to 20170?
