Has anyone tried to lock their car with their spares with the car running? It's starting to get chilly, (only about -20[-4f] or so), and at 5AM, my car is as unhappy to be awoken from its slumber as I am. Unfortunately I must leave for work at that time, and tried to warm up my car. I was unable to use the spare keys to lock the car when the engine was running. I don't live in a bad neighbourhood, but I also don't want to leave my car unattended with the keys in the ignition.
I know that warming the car really sucks for gas, but my entire drive is city and at these temperatures it takes awhile to get comfortable. Anyone tried this and succeeded? Maybe there's a setting I'm missing? Couldn't get factory remote start on mine, it being an LS/would rather not fork over some cash as I just got a lease on a property and need to try to not spend money!
..also I wish there was an ice cube post icon.
