Passive door locks.
Why is it that my keyfob is switched to (passive) off but the car still auto opens and locks when I get within or out of proximity. Is there something I have to set on the computer?

Huh? 
Is this one of those, "You can unlock your car by pressing the FOB over the phone" deals? Am I supposed to go try it?
If not, I smell ghosts. Who you gonna call?
EDIT *** Or do you have a C6?
How do you turn that on? I didn't see any options on the DIC options? Just went out and checked.

One thing for sure -- do not leave your keys in a 99 C5 and close the doors. The door locks seem to have minds of their own, and in their minds, you are a thief whether you own the car or not!
Thank you GM for complicating our lives,

PS. My 57 Vette was a simpler car in simpler times. If course, in the rain, the C1 was a death trap. One must take the good with the bad.

Funny because about a month ago (of coarse when I was visiting my sis in DC) the battery on the remote dies and the next day it didn't start. The dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it but the computer registered that the alarm had been triggered. They think that somehow the messed up key made me trip the cut-off on the starter and fuel shut off triggered typically when the alarm goes off.
Does anyone know if there is truth to the theory that if you let it sit for two hours it automatically resets? Because the next day at the dealer it started fine.
