The key question is--can it unlock the doors without using the remote? I'm certain it can unlock the doors using the remote (from "up to 80 feet away")....but I'm less sure that they remoteless entry will work (so that you just need the remote in your pocket to open the door).
I think the problem here is that even the dealers have no clue how to do this, though they all think it should be able to be done. Until someone actually does it...
Oh, yeah...and I decided not to get the alarm. It was going to run something like $700 after installation (seems super high to me), so I skipped it. The car has an engine immobilizer so all we'd really add by adding it is something to discourage vandalism and theft after glass breakage.

I left out part of what that saleslady tolds me about the VIP security system. Here is the rest:
"You do not need to do anything to activate or deactivate the security system. When you lock the door the system will be activated, and deactivated if you open the door with the key flop or with the key flop in your pocket open the door by pressing the black button on the door handle."
