When I start the car with a remote, it doesn't turn off. I have to wait for 5 min to turn off automatically.
In additon, I can drive the car without a key inserted.
What I installed is

Did you connect the foot brake?

i was just going to say the same thing. make sure you have the foot brake shutdown wire connected. this is commonly a positive input.

btw how are you driving without a key? the steering wheel lock would engage, and if you have the tach wire connected, if it reads a high tach(over rev protection) it will shut down the unit.

you need to have the brake input wire connected to the footbrake or elase it doesnt know to shut down till timer expires, but as stated above how are you driving? the steering lock doesnt disengage without the key in ign

You didn't steal the car now did ya? LOl! Playin, how is the unit not sensing the over rev and shutting down, normally audiovox equipment always require the connection of a tach wire!
