Do all turbo timers have the safety feature that turns off the car if the e-brake is put down?

The main reason for it is that if the car is running and someone gets in to drive off the car will shut off as soon as teh ebrake is let down,

Another quick question,

Do all TT's keep you from using the remote to lock the car? If so, what do you guys do?

ditto, the only thing i had to stop doing was leaving the headlights on because they dont automatically turn off after the tt has turned itself off.

I have a apexi and then do not turn off. Do your lights stay on it you have them on and turn off the car. Mine don't turn off until you open the door.
