Default Keyless entry glove friendly?

I assume that temperature control will not work if you have glove on but does the keyless entry work if you have glove on?

I just tested it out. To my surprise, temp control setting and unlocking/locking the doors works pretty well with leather gloves, less so with thicker nylon gloves.

I was ready to buy the touch-sensitive gloves thinking my regular gloves wouldn't work, but I probably won't now!

when i wash my GS with the wash mitt the doors always lock and unlock as i wash the door handle area. also the other day the doors locked with the pressure washer being sprayed at that area.
my hand was on the metal wand and the water made an electrical connection between me and the car! pretty cool. so i don't think gloves would be a problem.

Hey great news! Thanks for confirming! Perhaps I can keep my gloves on this winter with 3IS!

I wonder if the doors work on pressure?
