Smile Can IS350 DO THIS?

I have an 07 IS350, wondering the followings:

1) Wonder how far can the IS350 go without the smart-key being detected. (In case you're warming up your baby, and some jackass drives it off......Engine Auto-Kill will be activated? or it just saying "Key-Not-Dectected")

2) Wondering if there's function to lock all doors while the engine is running and smart-key is away from the vehicle.

3) Wondering if you can hold the key botton to roll down all 4 windows, except the sunroof?

Any inputs?

1) IT'LL JUST SAY KEY DETECTED until its turned off, I did this when i bought my IS, I took it on a test drive when the salesman turned it on and let me look around it, he went inside to get the plates and little did I know I thought he wanted me to take it so I did, I drove a good 5 miles before he called me and was like WTF? True stroy.

2 You can lock all the doors but problem is your smart key will no unlock the doors when the car is running.

I wish there was a way to disable the feature where holding down the unlock button rolls down all the windows and sunroof. Often I'll walk out to my car and all the windows are down because the unlock button was being held down in my pocket. Once it happened in the rain. The dealership wanted $60 to disable the feature for me since it was a non warranty issue.

If you havent done your ESP programming it is covered under that.

Well, I guess Lexus need to do a better job. There should be a fuction allow the vehicle to run/warm up and it will automatically auto-kill the engine if the key is not detected in case of a theft. This message is for those Lexus folks there to read.

^ The problem with that is if your key battery died while on a long road trip you'd be screwed.

If you started driving and threw your keys out the window, you can keep driving until you Power your car off. Then you have to run and get your keys, lol.

For safety reasons, Lexus wisely chose to not do some kind of auto-kill based on key proximity. It's not surprising to me.

you could lock your doors with the actual key once you leave the car with the remote
