Do you use your passive keyless entry?
My 94 didn't come with this, I'm considering buying the remote. The manual explains how to program it, etc., and it seems to be active on my car (I tested the programming procedure but without a remote.)
But, I've heard that a lot of people don't like it. Do you use yours?
(And how do you set up a vote?)

Re: Do you use your passive keyless entry? (KY Vette)
I have it on my C5 and Trailblazer and I keep it turned off, I don't like my car doors unlocking automaticaly when I get within 100 ft. or so of it. I prefer to unlock it myself when I want it unlocked.

I hate it. I'm around my car too much, detailing, maintanence, etc. If all you do is approach your car to drive it and leave it when done not to be near it then I guess it can work for you. :skep:

Re: Do you use your passive keyless entry? (RichS)
All you gotta do when you are washing the car or working on it is to place the keys on the seat or something.
This happens at the track all the time, people are so worried about someone stealing something.
We leave our keys in the car all the time, nobody will or can steal your car unless it's first or last in line.
We always laugh at the guys who even set their alarms. It's funny watching them fumble for their keys trying to shut it off afterthe line is moving and they were elsewhere. They forgot rule #1, never leave your car if it's in the staging lanes.

Mine didn't come with the PKE either and haven't replaced it yet. Since I don't have it, I don't know what I am missing, I guess.

Yes I do. I love it. You can turn it off while working on it and such, then turn it back on!!!

I like it, except when it's parked in garage, when you walk by it with key in your pockete, it opens the door. But disabling it is easy, takes 2 seconds, literally.
