I just saw a Mercedes C200 and Chevrolet Traverse have one feature where the lights (both xenon and rear lights) stay on for a while after the driver exits his/her car even after locking their doors with the remote.
It's pretty cool.I envy those guys with this feature. I don't think our IS's have this right ?

press lock a second time and it turns off the lights.

As to this option, I hadn't looked into it but definitely nice to know it's there if I settle down and make it a family car. Right...

You can still lock it with the button on the fob, just not with the button on the door.
That said, idling is terrible for a car engine...the best way, by far, to warm up a car is to drive it.

Me too. I didn't like the headlight being on even after I lock the vehicle. Made me worry that I forgot to turned it off. And My home and work parking area is all well lit. So no headlight delay for me. Turned it off at dealership.

For like the past week or so, my car has not been unlocking when I walk up to the door handle. I figured I must have accidentally changed something. Today, I see this thread and figure let me go try it out. My car, btw is a 2012 iS350.
First, I pressed the lock button, held it, then pressed the unlock button for about 5 seconds. I heard 3 sets of 2 beeps. Then I tried the door handle and nothing.
So, I tried it again. This time, I pressed both lock and unlock at the same time and held them for about 5 seconds. I heard 2 sets of 2 beeps. Then, tried the door handle and nothing.
Not sure what the deal is. Why does this not work for me?

ANy ideas on this guys? I tried it again today holding the lock and unlock buttons together for 5 seconds or so until the 3 sets of double beeps. Still nothing. I tried this with doors locked and with doors unlocked. No difference. 
Does this not work on 2012 isX50?
