Because maybe you live in Durham, NC, on, say, Burch Street, and you find comfort in the knowledge that a neighbor will need BOTH your key and remote to get into the car.

My daytime running lights are still connected, but I leave the switch turned on anyway. > 3) If I use the keyless entry to lock the car but then I use my key to > unlock the car, the alarm goes off. This seems kind of silly to me. Is > it supposed to work this way? Yes, that's how it works. The rationale is simple: since you will "accidently" set off the alarm every morning for the first few days, your neighbors on Burch St. will know not to mess with the car. But seriously, the real reason is to scare the piss out of you when the remote batteries die! -- Bobb
