Really smart people use a remote starter. It locks the doors and if
someone does break in, the engine dies as soon as you hit the brake pedal if
the key in not in place. If you want to leave the car, you just hit the
button on the fob and remove the key and the engine stays running. I can
set the seat heater in the "on" position also. Won't have a car without one
now that I have the pleasure of one for the past year. .
