The actual remote part I thought only operates the door locks as the Red Smartshield light continues to flash untill you turn the key I think.
In theory you should never be able to remove the key once it it turned in the lock so unless the computer turns off that sensor after starting, then it may continue to read it.
Holden has what looks like contact pins but the Ford just does it by proximity doesnt it?
After turning off the engine, does the smartsheild light blink then or not untill the key is fully removed??
I will have to look tomorrow.
