It made really good sense in my head at the time... (smile) I may switch it to the lock wire so i can hear the horn beep at me. but other than that I don't know if its a real big deal. I can lock it after it is started (with the key fob) if needed. So I don't know if it is a big deal ... your thoughts?

for gods sake!! use the lock wire......using the unlock wire uses 25 percent more battery power and i dont think you are being any part of the green movement trying to save the earth if you use the unlock wire on your .....wait a minute. a remote start aint very green .... keep it on the unlock wire and use 5 pulses....LOLyuk

I've always used lock wire myself. One less step or button push after remote starting to lock the doors. If you are done and don't have any plans to get back under the dash I would leave it. However if you find yourself back under there at a later time and you feel adventurous swap the activation input over to the lock wire.

From my window at work (5th story) I can start my car with the unlock button... but it will not re-lock. I can re-lock it when I am closer (i.e. walking toward the vehicle in the parking lot). Any idea why the 'unlock' would go further than the 'lock' ... or is my little key fob just tired of me pressing the unlock button so many times (smile)...

i dont know but what if you had the wire that pulses a factory alarm, pulse instead your door locks and relock the car for you?yuk
