Yes, SKS is now a "MUST HAVE" feature for me!!! Generic "I have a Prius" disclaimer applies:
If you lock the door with the button on the outside handle, it will not 'SKS' unlock for a few seconds. As you figured out, walking away, or just waiting 4 or 5 seconds is required. Another fun feature: if you put your hand in the handle and the door unlocks but you do not open the door, it will relock in a few seconds (10, 20, 30 I don't recall).
You do not actually have to TOUCH the inside of the door handle, just sliding your fingers into the gap is enough (when not wearing gloves in the winter!)
I mess with my key chain. It has 2 keys - one for the front door and one for the porch door. We leave the window from the house to the enclosed porch open except in winter so the HOUSE cats can get on the porch but not accidentally be let outside. I lock both doors (my wife is more comfortable thinking that someone who might break into the porch won't notice the somewhat open window. Yeah, OK). When I get in the car, I dump the keys in the console change tray. No need to carry them around all day. Now, when will Toyota sell a house door lock that works with my SKS fob!!!?????

About the lights coming on, the only light that comes on is the over-head light, are the dash lights suppose to come on as well?

The interior dome (front and rear) lights come on day or night when you approach the car. They are just harder to notice during the day
. The dash lights do not come on, but then why would you need them before the car is started?
I haven't checked, but I assume the light bars on the fob slot in the dash also light up once you open the door so you can find it easily. But, since I have SKS, I really have no idea!
