I don’t guess you have seen the new cars don’t have Keys.

They have “push” to start button. The job of the “key” fob is to tell the computer that you are legal to start the car, unlock doors, etc.
They sell this as an advantage - you get within 20 feet of your car, and the doors unlock automatically, no need to get your key out of your pocket, it senses the key within 20 feet - just press the start button.

Don’t tell you haven’t seen the 10000000 comercials showing someone happily pressing the “start” button?

And, BTW, the LEXUS has PTS - push to start. NO KEY TO TURN OFF!

Sorry - try again

Not intuitive, but on pushbutton ignition systems you can push and sold the start button to kill the ignition. Sort of like M/S Windows.

Did you miss the "keyless ignition" part of my post? I understand them, use them, and sadly the state trooper didn't. You may not be fully familiar with the systems, but you push to start, and you push again to stop. He could have turned off the car if he knew how.

BTW, you were pretty rude to another poster (why so angry about this?), and claimed computer power switches were hard wired. You are wrong, at least for the last 15 years, with the introduction the ATX specs power switches are soft on/off.

Are you a lawyer pushing this bullshit? It has been PROVEN to be bullshit and yet you persist like a liberal earth first type still trying to get “global-warming” recognized as a fact, long after it has been proven to be bullshit!
