I did activate the panic button by accident once merely by sitting on it
in my back pocket. Other than that, I echo the other poster's request for
as thin and small as possible. And a littlle longer range would be nice.

Now that I think a little further about it, a way to code my garage door
opener into it would be cool - a button to make my girl friend stop
talking - and one to turn on the lawn sprinkler - another to buy, stamp, and
mail birthday cards on time to friends and relatives, which would require
PDA storage, etc. -- all, of course, while maintaining the aforementioned
thin and small as possible :-). Oh yeah - don't forget the back lighihting!

Joe,
One of the things that I had a hard time getting use to was how the doors
would lock automatically after about 3 minutes. I have now learned to make
sure that I never leave the keys in the car or leave the window rolled
down. This means that I won't get locked out the car. I later figured out
that it's related to the keyless entry remote. I should have read it in
the owner's manual.

I've heard those stories, but my 04 Accord doesn't do that. ?

And neither does my 03.

What does happenis this: If you unlock the doors with the remote, but
don't open one of them within about 20 seconds, they relock. And if you
have also opened the windows when you unlocked the doors, and they relock
before you get there, don't try to pull up on one of the door lock buttons
as it will activate the alarm. Use the remote to unlock them again.

Bob,
I should have stated that I have a 99 Accord. I had the window rolled down
and I locked the door with the remote. I checked my mail and returned to
the car and noticed that I had left the window down. I pulled up the lock
on the door and the alarm went off. It surprised and shocked me. I have a
feeling that Honda must have received thousands of complaints about those
doors locking automatically which is why that feature is not on newer
Honda cars such as the O3 and O4 Honda cars. It was stupid idea and I hope
they fired the engineer that came up with the stupid idea.

This unpleasant feature is on my 2005 Acccord.

I was talking with a friend as we walked to the parking lot. It was a
hot day so I used the remote to open the windows (1st press => unlock
driver's door, 2nd => all other doors, hold after this to open windows).

We talked for a bit and then I went to open the driver's door. Seeing it
was locked I reached thru the window and pulled up the lock. Off went
the alarm.

What were they possibly thinking?

And they haven't figured it out in 6 years?

Hello,
I guess that Honda Engineers will solve this problem when a person that
has heart problems does the same thing that we done and he or she has a
heart attack when the alarm goes off. I know that my heart must have
skipped some beats when the alarm went off.
Please try this experiment:
1. Lock your car with the remote.
2. Unlock your car with the remote but don't open the door.
3. Wait 5 minutes.
4. Check to see if the door lock is up or down.
On my 1999 Accord, the lock would be down.
I asked this question to find out if Honda has or has not installed this
feature in newer Accords. I hate this feature.

I've watched it happen on my 2005 Accord:

Unlock my car when it is locked but don't open any door.
After about 15-20 seconds the door(s) lock and the alarm arms.

Opening the trunk (which is what I'm often doing during that 15-20
seconds) has no effect on this.
