I wish I could lock my car while it's turned on, but that isn't the case. It's a bit silly to me, though. My car turns on when it detects the key physically inside it. Then I can get out of the car and take the keys with me, with the car still running. Yet, I cannot lock the car even when I have the keys in my hand!! I have to turn it off to lock it. Ridiculous. (And yeah, I know it's trying to prevent you from locking your keys in the car, but if I am standing outside with the keys in my hand, how can I get locked out???)

My husband has had a remote starter for years, and definitely loves it during the temperature extremes. I'm guessing my husband's car is a lot older than yours. Actually, I'm sure of it. His is a 2001 Forester, but that's even "new" compared to my 1997 Honda Civic

Perhaps someday they'll fix the situation you describe.
