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.

Hello,
I'm surprised that Honda still installed this feature in new cars since so
many people hate it. I believe that Honda developed this feature because
some people were accidently unlocking their cars while they were putting
the remote into their pockets.

Exactly how many people hate it? Not trying to be a wise-***...I really
want to know.
If there was the remotest possibility that someone would have a heart attack
from the alarm going off as you described, in today's litigious society
Honda's lawyers would have ordered the feature's removal long ago. I
suspect it's not as unpopular as you stated (although it does smack of Honda
trying to protect people from themselves), but I'd still like to see some
facts to back it up.

I have no problem with this feature at all. Sure, it shocked me the
first time, but if I open the windows with the remote, and for whatever
reason don't get to the car as soon as I expected, I'll be very grateful
that the alarm system has been activated.
